The singer, who took home two awards at last night’s BRIT Awards was photographed wearing a huge sparkler on her engagement finger, which has of course sparked rumours.

The 23-year-old wore two bands on the same finger of her left hand, one small one which was overshadowed by a large yellow emerald ring. If Simon has in fact popped the question we don’t know, but we do hope that lots of happiness awaits Adele, who has famously made a success of her relationship breakups.

Looking at the photo above, Adele will make a very pretty bride if and when she does get married. Oh we do hope this rumour is true!

So what can you do to look like a siren on your wedding day?

First of all drink lots of water and make sure you get enough sleep. Panda eyes and dry skin will not look good on any wedding photo. But if you are agonising over those stubborn pounds that just won’t shift we’ll tell you about a little thing called the Juice Master 7 Day Detox.

We would never advice you to go on a crash diet as it just isn’t healthy and those pounds you lose will probably be back with a vengeance once you go back to eating normally. The best way to do it is to find something that will help you slim down a bit, reduce any bloating, boost your energy levels (you will definitely need lots of energy in the weeks running up to your wedding) and this is where the Juice Master detox comes in.

And as with most things we wouldn’t dream of recommending you something that we haven’t tried ourselves, so when Philips asked us to take part in the World’s Biggest Juice Detox – and a potential 7 lbs lighter  in 7 days – this January we jumped at the chance. So Bridalwave editor, Elisabeth (me!), let Philips take over her diet for a week, provide all fruit and veg needed – and a wicked juicer*! – and here’s what happened:

The detox

Developed by the Juice Master, Jason Vale, the detox involved drinking nothing but homemade juices and smoothies for seven days (apart from water of course!). The seven day juice plan consisted of six juices/smoothies each day at three intervals plus water and fennel or mint tea.

As a self-confessed coffee addict, I knew not being allowed coffee would hit me hard – The Juice Master even warns you about this in his book, The Juice Master Diet: 7 lbs in 7 Days. And boy did it. Having started on a Monday morning, I got up early to prepare the delicious and nutritious juices for the working day, tasting the wheatgrass on its own (not recommended) and happily filled up on juiced vegetables and fruit throughout the day. I wasn’t feeling hungry at all, but my oh my did the caffeine withdrawals hit me in the evening. It also didn’t help that I was coming down with a cold either…

Day 2 was not bad at all as the caffeine in my bloodstream was being substituted with fresh fruit and veg juice.

Day 3 on the other hand I couldn’t stomach having another vegetable based juice, but I think was mostly to do with the colour of the juice. As I had to make all my daytime juices in the morning before heading to the office, by the time afternoon came around the juices had got rather nondescript green colour that made me slightly nauseous by looking at it. But I could feel my energy levels increase and my post-Christmas chocolate skin was also starting to look noticeably better.

Luckily on Day 4 we received two great eco-bottles by SIGG to carry the juices in when out and about. And by not having to see them – and also having left out the spinach, wheatgrass and spirulina powder – I felt much better about juicing it up for lunch. I even brought them with me on a long walk around London on day 6, Saturday.

By the time day 7 came around, my sniffles (see above) had turned into a full blown cold and my body was craving some solid sustenance. And I gave in. Had some delicious eggs benedict at this place and a wonderful cup of coffee from here. Hey if you’re going to be bad you might as well do it properly.

The result

While I didn’t last the complete seven days, the results were great. I lost 6.2lbs and my skinny jeans definitely fit better. I also felt less bloated, so my stomach looked a lot flatter. Having been off the detox for a few weeks now, I am thinking about going back on it as it did make me feel great. But I’d probably keep drinking coffee…

For any brides wanting to detox before their wedding, a word of wisdom. While it will make you look and feel fantastic, make sure you start early enough so that you have weened yourself on some solid foods before your wedding. For after one week of nothing but liquids, your digestive system will not be happy if your suddenly start eating.

Our favourite juice recipe: The Lemon/Ginger Zinger

2 carrots

2 apples

1 inch slice of lemon

1/4 inch fresh ginger

Juice and pour over ice

*Philips kindly provided a brilliant super-powered Avance juicer.

Special occasions only come around once in a while, and when they do it’s the only excuse a woman needs to hit the refresh button on her wardrobe. A special occasion outfit should be glam and flattering, and we’ll show you how and where to find the best occasion dresses online. From Teatro occasion dresses to French Connection frocks, a special event or evening calls for glamour aplenty!

Shopping online for a gorgeous dress is a great way to find something that’s affordable. Read the reviews and find out what other fashion lovers are saying about a dress. If it’s got 5 stars, there’s a good chance it won’t let you down on your special day or evening. Teatro occasion dresses are packed with detail and gorgeous embellishment while French Connection dresses are famed for their beautiful cuts. Online shopping at Littlewoods promises a variety of glam dresses at the touch of a button.

Fabrics are key when it comes to pulling together a glam look. Go for satin if you want an expensive look with a glossy finish, or opt for silk if you want a soft and sensual finish. When it comes to style, maxi dresses are instantly elegant while midi dresses are quickly gaining ground on the catwalks. Sleeveless cuts show off toned shoulders, while cap sleeve are a classic finish that flatters. A-line dresses give you a beautifully balanced silhouette while one shoulder dresses lend an unusual look that’s sophisticated and elegant. Occasion dresses from brands like Oasis and French Connection are perfect for A-line cuts.

If you want to top up your vintage look, add a little lace to your outfit. A lace dress is a statement piece with a soft and detailed finish. A lace bolero lends a subtle vintage appeal without going all-out retro. Velvet nods to retro design, and also gives your dress a gorgeous fluid feel.

Remember to finish off your special dress with a tall pair of strappy sandals or heels. Go online shopping at Littlewoods for the latest in accessories, clutch bags, shoes and even the perfect make-up for a stylish finish.

The rather angelic autumn/winter 2012 collection was inspired by a 1879 portrait painting ‘ A Soul Brought to Heaven’ by William Adolphe Bourgueraus. The show was a dreamlike spectacular with floaty, ott ball gowns that will make any woman the belle of the ball – her wedding!

Be ready for winter brides to look for embroidery, lace, feathers, more lace, tulle… and did I mention lace?
