Essex bride Adria Bannocks will be doing her bit for charity on 8th May, 2010 by trashing her wedding dress in public. After tying the knot at St Mary's Church in Saffron Walden last year, Adria will be putting her gorgeous gown on once again and having a trash the dress shoot in Coggeshall, in order to raise money for Endometriosis UK. She's hoping to reach her target of £3,000 - if you want to donate or find out more, visit www.justgiving.com/Adria-Bannocks-Trash-the-Dress

Brides with a sweet tooth should take a look at new cake designer Zoe Gilham of Zoe Ellen's Cake Boutique. Based in Brentwood, Zoe's designs range from eye-catching tiered cakes to cute cupcakes and intricate miniatures.
She also offers adorable iced cookies, perfect for favours or thank you gifts. Plus, with prices as affordable as £250 for a two-tiered creation, it's great for brides on a budget.
Our favourite is this stunning black and white design, Fiona Jane, priced £400. View more cakes at www.zoe-ellens-cakes.com
