Wedding Ring Box Place Settings

The Ring Box Wedding Place Card is an Adorable Way to Kick Off Dinner. These awesome place cards come in the shape of wedding boxes, placing your guest’s name plates inside. This luxurious item will make all your guests feel extra special while getting into the wedding vibe.

Allowing the attendees to get a feel for that proposal moment, the Ring Box Wedding Place Card may even have them yearning for their own special day.

I'm absolutely charmed with this idea of using ring boxes as place card holders from Nonpareil Magazine that was used in a To Catch a Thief-inspired wedding. It's quite appropriate for weddings or engagement parties because the bride's two-carat Tiffany is always a focal point.

Depending on the size of your wedding, this design element could become a bit pricey though. So maybe it's best for an engagement dinner party or a bridal shower luncheon.

Snow Cone Buffet

We have seen many trends with all kinds of Candy to Cookie Stations. How fun would it be to have a Snow Cone Station. We all know how hot it can get in North Carolina during the summer so this would be a wonderful fun option for your wedding guests especially if you are having an outdoor wedding. The fanciful quality of this buffet will instill childlike anticipation in every guest.

Tiffany iPhone App

The new Tiffany iPhone app is designed to aid future brides and grooms with their ring shopping. The app has gendered qualities which aim to help out both the clueless men and the ring-crazy women. For the men, the Tiffany iPhone app will show rings in their actual size, so they’re more likely to compare the on-screen rings with their partners.

The app boasts 44 engagement rings to scroll through, most likely while drooling heavily. From the Classic Solitaire to the blinged-out Legacy Collection, this app helps you hand-pick your ideal bling, from carat size to setting. You can even look through a mélange of matching wedding bands (for her only), if you want to kill two birds and see what the whole shebang will look like once the knot is tied.

The “ring sizer” aims to simplify ring sizing by stealing one of her rings, placing it on the screen and waiting for the correct ring size to pop up! For the woman, the Tiffany iPhone app makes designing the perfect ring simple, all through the iPhone app.

Black Beauty

Oscar de la Renta’s Bridal Spring 2011 line is breath of fresh air amidst all flirty white weddings gowns we’re so accustomed to seeing. Moving away from the traditional color of white, Oscar de la Renta makes a statement with his dark wedding gown.

The black wedding dress is absolutely gorgeous from the bodice to the hemline. Adorned with little white butterflies all over the bust, the entire frock seems to draw inspiration from nature at night. Any bride would certainly stand out on their special day strutting down the aisle in this morbid yet beautiful gown.

Personalized Wedding Glasses for your Bridal Party

These personalized wine glasses are such a creative way to give a memorable toast at your wedding, and the custom martini glasses couldn’t be more perfect for a bridal shower! FizzyArtist creates personalized wine glasses based on the photographs customers send her, then she uses them as inspiration to paint custom cartoons of wedding party members. She can also create custom martini and water glasses, all sold in sets of 10.

Glasses can be personalized to match their hair color, skin color, dress color, and their name can go on the base of the stem. You can also include the wedding colors and wedding date for that custom touch!

Barnyard Bridal Fashion

The latest photoshoot for the Vogue Nippon March 2010 issue does an incredible job of mixing purity and sex appeal to create a bride-inspired spread.

Model Anja Rubik shows off short and sexy dresses, fur coats and full-on tulle wedding gowns. The seductive beauty works a veil and short gloves with almost every outfit in front of the rolling hills and haystacks—even an innocent little lamb shows up in the shots. Check out the hot shoot in the Vogue Nippon March 2010 issue below.

Romantic Ruffles

The ASOS Black Spring 2010 collection is so quaint, it makes me want to throw a tea or garden party ASAP. Its frilly ruffles and pretty pink fabrics simply squeal sophisticated girliness. These frocks are perfect for the wedding season.

“I Do” Finger Scribbles

Wedding ring tattoos are a great alternative for people prone to losing jewelry. I guess they’d be a stellar idea for superstitious people who believe letting your ring drop, or forgetting to put it on when you go out, signifies bad luck too.

These wedding ring tattoos range from inked patterns around the base of ring fingers to wedding date numerals. They also include designs meant to compliment traditional wedding bands on fingers, like the “I do” and “Ditto” commentary inked on one couple’s fingers in the gallery.

These pictures of wedding ring tattoos are only a small sampling of what’s out there, but they’re a pretty innovative look into this symbol of love. Even Beyonce and Jay Z did it!

SatinSakks

Are you looking for the perfect gift for your Bridesmaids and Flower Girls? Purchase SatinSakks, a gift that will last forever. My dear friend Candace Laury designed this product after years of trying to find the perfect wrap to keep her braids looking just as great at 8 weeks as they did at week one.

SatinSakks is an comfortable, attractive hair wrap that is made of the same satin as smooth satin sheets or luxurious satin pajamas. This luxury wrap allows your hair to move freely and reduce hair breakage. Perfect for Locks, Braids, Natural and Relaxed hair. SatinSakks is also available for men and children . They are available in a variety of colors. I know I spend hours braiding my girls hair (who happen to appear on her website), and slip the SatinSakks on before bed and it last for weeks. I was so excited after wearing my SatinSakks the first morning to awake and still had the SatinSakks snug as a rug on my head and not under my pillow case.

Everyone loves to be pampared, so why not pamper your hair?
