If you're looking for a cake for a bridal shower then we think we've found the perfect one.
Datin Mary Zain's latest creation is a cake that resembles a bridesmaid dress and we're sure you'll agree that these look more than good enough to eat.
The cakes come in blue and green and have as much detail as a real bridesmaids dress, with the icing looking as smooth as a satin number.
We love the little bow detailing and patterns on the skirts, which really will have your guests fighting for a slice, instead of the bridal bouquet.
Last week we gave you some tips on what to do with your wedding dress after you had worn it on your big day but left out bridesmaids.
However, this weekend we stumbled upon this fabulous website, which we think is an ideal first port of call for ladies looking to get rid of their bridesmaid dresses.
The Glass Slipper Project is an American charity, which is asking for your old bridesmaids dresses to pass on to disadvantaged women in Chicago who cannot afford prom dresses.
It also welcomes donations of formal dresses, shoes, evening bags, jewelry and unused make-up. There are a few conditions, namely the fact that you will need to be prepared to post your frock to America. Dresses should also be less than 5 years old, be in good condition and should also be cleaned before they are sent.
Dresses should also be tea length or long formals. The girls do not take the short dresses.
Find out more on the charity's website.
We love a bridal bargain here at Bridalwave and think this offer is fantastic, especially for brides that have quite a few bridesmaids.
Dower & Hall are offering a special buy-one-get-one-half-price offer on its Twinkle rings range. The collection, which features a variety of colourful gemstones, has been designed to be collected and stacked one on top of the other for a fabulous, sparkling effect.
Visit the store between 14-30 September 2009 to make sure you get the buy one ring and get one half price offer.
Red is going to be big this season with many catwalk designers showing off this colour in their new collections, and of course these trends will filter down to the bridal looks of this year.
If you don't want a red theme for your wedding, but want to stay on top of the latest fashions then Swarovski may have the answer.
The crystal company has designed a range of red gemmed jewellery, which we think will add a touch of colour to your white wedding dress or complete your bridesmaid's outfits.
The facetted Bordeaux crystal gleams in deep shades of red have been made into earrings, necklaces and ring and we absolutely love the (pictured) necklace, which brings a winter feel and can be worn with a strapless dress or sweetheart neckline.
Prices range from around £80 to £100, but with the red trend looking set to stay, you can wear these items again and again.
Bridesmaids dresses for adults can be tricky to get right, especially if you have a few bridesmaids and want them all in one style. There's always one who want like the colour, style or fit.
However we have found some dresses that your bridesmaids won't hate you for. The Autumn/Winter Collections by Uttam, Yumi and Jin-Ja are plain, yet elegant and come in a range of different colours to suit all your bridesmaids.
We love the Mauve 50s style dress (below), which will suit most body shapes. The Pink lace dress (above) is also perfect for brides who want to add some vintage to their special day.
All styles are available from Uttam Direct and range from £60 to £100.

If you don't want the traditional white meringue dress for your wedding day then you'll love this new range by Deploy.
The collection, which has literally just been announced (we hope we're the first to report on it) has some gorgeous satin dresses in a range of colours, which are guaranteed to make you stand out on your big day.
I love this gorgeous silver straight cut halter neck dress, which costs £395 and can be accessorised with a tiara or headscarf.
The blue chiffon dress (below) with sleeves is also another favourite of mine and costs £475.
However, if you're still not convinced then you could always pass them on to your bridesmaids. I certainly wouldn't complain if I had to wear one of these.
There's never really a way to show your bridesmaids and Maid of Honour how thankful you really are for all their help in the lead up to, and on the wedding day.
They'vey consoled you when you've stressed out and organised a big hen night, which, if you hadn't drink so much, you would remember for the rest of your now, married life.
However, with so many bridesmaids presents on the market we're sure you can show them in some way how important they are and how thankful you are for their help.
We have a look at the top bridesmaid's gifts.
