| Tea Time for Hens |

If you're planning a hen party this month we've discovered a way to have a fabulous girlie get together and raise money for charity too. The Helen Rollason Cancer Charity has launched Tea for Helen, a month long campaign that will see women across the country pour tea and indulge in cupcakes whilst being sponsored for the pleasure.
Community relations manager Angela Lodge says: "The tea parties can be as big or small as you like. Whether you raise £10 or £100 every penny will really make a difference to someone living with cancer. Enjoy a cuppa and raise funds for us!" What better excuse for a brew?
To host a bridal tea party, register your chosen date with the Helen Rollason fundraising team and receive a Tea for Helen pack. Contact 01245 514325 or e-mail angela.lodge@helenrollason.org.uk.

| Say it with sparkle |
|
If you're set to tie the knot in the festive season why not add a splash of sparkle to your bridal outfit? Harriet Wilde has created a magical pair of heels that won't fail to dazzle your guests: Dorothy Ruby Slippers. Not for the faint-hearted, the 10cm high heels are adorned with a gorgeous vintage bow and lashings of glam red glitter and would make a show stopping addition to 1950s-style knee-length gowns.
Alternatively, why not save them for the dance floor when the wedding breakfast is over? Check out more glittering creations, like Harriet's gold design Tallulah, which will look just fabulous with ivory and champagne gowns.
