Summer gone and many of our favourite celebrities have successfully tied the knot this past season – some have also sadly broken up before they could get up the altar but you can’t win them all! We’ve also been treated to some blingtastic sparklers as the happy celebrity brides have showed off their engagement rings.
If you’re hoping this autumn will be your time to shine as a blushing bride-to-be and are after for some ring inspiration look no further. Together with Westfield London we’ve put together a list of five of the most popular celebrity engagement ring styles.
Canary Diamond Engagement Ring
A beautiful ring to suit a beautiful lady; Seal proposed to Heidi Klum with a rare Lorraine Schwartz 10 carat canary diamond set in in yellow gold. Not the most conventional proposal, but definitely one of the most romantic, Seal asked Heidi to marry him by flying her to a glacier and proposing inside an igloo – amazing!
If you need some more ring inspiration or want to hunt down some similar styles to those favoured by the celebs why not visit Westfield London which is host to some of the best jewellery shops in London. It has 32 jewellery stores from Tiffany and Co to Goldsmith, ensuring there is something sparkly and spectacular to suit all tastes.

We all love a bit of bling, especially brides-to-be. Unfortunately many of us can’t afford to adorn ourselves in sparkling diamonds, but luckily there is something called Swarovski.
Crystal Bridal have launched a own signature collections that features a series of blingtastic celebrity inspired pieces featuring Swarovski elements
Brides inspired by Kim Kardashian’s wedding day jewellery will love the Grace vintage style forehead band, which at just £55 won’t take too big of a cut out of the wedding budget. It is bohemian and fabulous to give you the celebrity twist without the A-lister price tag.
Check out the images above for more pieces from the collection.

Most brides spend hours buffing and polishing, waxing and moisturising, trimming and conditioning before their wedding day? The make-up and hair has been deliberated down to the very last detail, but what about your nails? Nothing is nastier than a set of barely there nails, but then again a ‘perfect 10′ of horrible fake nails can be equally ghastly. So what do you do? Well first of all you hope you can grow your own nails to be of a certain standard, if not, go for the fake option but perhaps decorate them with a little bit of nail art.
Will you go for the classic French manicure or au natural, or will you opt for a more ‘daring’ choice and have someone embellish your nails with nail art?
