SAY “YES” TO THE SHOES

We all love a good shoe. Brides are now opting for a little bit more when it comes to whats on their feet. I love the trend of something blue being your shoe like the BHLDN satin heels or even the Loeffler Randall Pleated heel in gold. Have fun with your wedding shoe! Our favorite has to be the sparkle boot by Betsey Johnson. It’s just too fun to pass up!

Top 12 Rings

Well, it’s that time of the year again to round up the hottest bridal trends for 2022. Many are a continuation from 2021 but some new trends have emerged as well. Read below for the latest and greatest!

3. INTRICATE GALLERIES

Speaking of your side profile, intricate galleries are a great way to add a unique touch to your engagement ring. While classic engagement rings are certainly having a moment, those of us who appreciate standout details would love an interesting gallery which is the area that can be viewed when looking at the underside of your engagement ring. Beautiful florals, a diamond-encrusted arch, and filigree swirls are just a few examples of the hidden surprises you’ll find. 1. NEW SOLITAIRES

Sure they’ve dominated for the past three years, and there are many benefits to them. However, the downside is having a ring that looks like what everyone else has. But actually, solitaires need not be boring. Interesting baskets and a unique under-gallery can elevate a solitaire from simple to stunning. A row of diamonds at the base of the head or a filigree basket gives your solitaire a one-of-a-kind look that stands out from the rest. 2. HIDDEN HALOS

Step aside, Halo! Your more modest cousin, the Hidden Halo, has come on the scene and is dominating the halo trend. Delicately wrapping underneath your center stone, hidden halos add a nice little touch of bling to elevate your side profile.

4. THREE-STONE ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Thanks to Megan Markle, the threestone trend continues to entice new brides everywhere. Side stones need not be boring as fun shapes such as trillions, pears, trapezoids, and baguettes give your ring a unique flair. Oh, and don’t forget the whole Friendship, Fidelity, and Love bonus.

5. FLORAL DETAILS

Love is in full bloom year-round, so why not have an engagement ring that incorporates the romantic details from nature such as flowers, vines, and leaves? A floral halo, gallery, or shank adds a delicate and feminine flair.

8. EAST WEST

Elongated center stones such as the oval, marquise, and emerald don’t have to follow the usual rules. Flip them horizontally and you have a unique look that redefines engagement. Rings inspired by architecture are a whole art form of their own. Bypass shanks, crisscrossing bands, and wraparound prongs are details that make rings fitting artwork to display in the best museums.

7. CHEVRON STYLINGS

The V-silhouette has gained some serious momentum, and ladies from near and far are loving this daring new look. For those who appreciate geometry and crave a unique style, this ring design is for you.

9. THREE STONE CLUSTER RINGS

The traditional three-stone is never out of style, and the new three-stone cluster represents mini expressions of everyday love. Fancy stones like pears mixed with rounds make for some serious side interest.

10. ALTERNATIVE ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Who said diamonds are the only choice? We can have more than one best friend, right? Meet your new “something blue.” Aquamarine engagements are not just for March birthdays. They’re a great choice for those who appreciate the calming and tranquil effect of all things blue. 11. SINGLE-PRONG ENGAGEMENT RING BANDS

Sharing is caring and diamonds are no exception. Settings that incorporate stones that share a single prong have a dainty and feminine feel that is becoming highly coveted not only in engagement rings but in wedding and anniversary bands as well. Bonus points for stacking!

12. YELLOW GOLD

An oldie but goodie and very much on the rise once again, yellow gold is the new black. This honey hue is flattering on all skin tones as well as with any outfit. And isn’t yellow gold what we think of when we think of gold at all? Your grandma will approve, trust us.
