Today's bridal jewelry often includes rhinestones, diamonds, faux diamonds--sometimes called CZs, Swarovski crystals, Austrian crystals, and/or a combination of two or more. It's really a matter of personal style and budget.

How to choose the perfect wedding veil
After your wedding gown, a veil is one of the most defining aspects of your bridal appearance. Historically a veil was worn to protect the bride from evil spirits; nowadays it is simply considered a beautiful form of adornment. Today’s bride can choose any type of veil she desires, but it is important to understand that a veil is an accessory, and as such only one part of your overall look. You need to consider how it will work with your dress,…

What Is the Difference Between Formal and Informal Invitations?
There are a number of differences between formal and informal wedding
invitations. In general, the wording, typeface, paper, and printing
method used on a formal invitation is very different from that
used on an informal invitation. A traditional formal invitation is engraved

When Should the Invitations Be Ordered?
If formal invitations will be used, they should be ordered as soon as
the wedding date is set and the style has been determined. If possible,
the matching envelopes should be obtained before the printed invitations

stage for the wedding. The traditional, engraved, formal invitation is no
longer the only choice available—informal, colorful, and innovative invitations
can also be… Continue
