Bands of Outsiders

“With this ring I thee wed.” Yes, a band is integral to the wedding ceremony, but there’s no dictate on what it should be made of or how it should look. As the cost of gold has climbed over the past few years, more couples are sealing their vows with bands of “emerging” or “alternative” metals like titanium, tungsten carbide and cobalt. According to TheKnot.com’s 2011…

Now even fashion-forward brides are searching beyond recent trend headpieces like feathery hair combs and French veils to give tiaras a second look. The fresh tiara styles Princess Charlene of Monaco wore last…

You can’t have a wedding without jewelry. An engagement ring sets the wedding in motion, and wedding bands show the world you’re married. A deeper look into the engagement and wedding jewelry shows just how much decision making goes into those purchases. TheKnot.com’s 2011 Engagement & Jewelry Study surveyed more than 10,000 brides and 1,000 grooms engaged or married in the past year.…

Jewelry Gone Wild

Diamonds and pearls be gone! For a modern bride looking for a twist on typical wedding day accessories for herself and her bridal party, color is key. “A big trend with weddings is personalization,” says Amanda Gizzi, spokesperson for the Jewelry Information Center, the consumer education arm of Jewelers of America. “Colored gemstone jewelry allows brides to truly personalize their wedding day…

A Pop Of Color

Diamonds may be a girl’s BFF, but sapphires, rubies, tourmalines, and other colored stones are getting quite chummy too, turning up in engagement rings in greater numbers. The most famous non-diamond engagement ring in the world, Kate Middleton’s dazzling 18-carat sapphire, sparked a rush on the blue gemstone last winter, but the shift to color was trending well before Prince William slipped the…

When it comes to accessorizing a ball gown, less usually is more. “As these dresses are often works of art, you want them to be the focal point,” says Jennifer Burton, of JBStyles, a Chicago-based wardrobe-consulting firm. To make sure bridal accessories and flowers enhance rather than compete with a statement dress, here’s what the pros recommend. Veils and headpieces “Since long veils are…

Old-Fashioned Dazzlers

Ring makers around the world have let out a collective harrumph. Instead of selecting a brand-spanking new sparkler, Prince William chose to ask for the hand of Ms. Middleton with the sapphire-and-diamond ring that his father gave his mother, Diana, some 29 years ago. Speaking at a brief press conference, William said, “It’s very special to me. As Kate’s very special to me now, it was right…

Getting Engaged on a Budget

Any good woman – including those who end up carrying more carats than their age – knows that the depth of her man’s love and commitment has far more to do with the size of his heart and the quality of his character than the size and quality of the rock he plunks on her finger. But even on a practical note, going into debt for a big sparkly stone isn’t smart financial planning, especially…
