Civil Wars and Diamond Rings

As a girl with champagne taste on a water budget, I have come to terms with the fact that I will not always have the nicest things; a Tiffany's engagement ring for instance.  However, I know that I deserve more than a plastic ring from the Cracker Jacks box.  Sometimes the history of a ring is worth more than the monetary value.  Every ring should have a story.  Whether it be how he proposed with it, when and where it was made, or who wore the ring before you, an engagement ring is a symbol of a story still being written.  Offbeat Bride gives the Top 10 Reasons To Care Where Your Jewelry Comes From.

Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Care Where Your Jewelry Comes From

I'm Not a Cupcake Bride

The classic ballgown silhouette flatters many figures and shapes, however on some women, a voluminous "cupcake" gown can swallow up the bride.  Just because Cinderella had an elegant ballgown, does not mean it is the best choice for everyone.  Every couple has their own style.  They have their own habits, interests, and emotions, in the end creating what I like to call their "couple personality."  Independently, a bride has her own personality.  She has certain qualities that make her unique.  A dress in and of itself can have a personality, and when put on the right girl, it just makes sense.  My advice to you blushing brides out there trying to find the perfect silhouette for your body, is to think about the overall image you want to portray at your wedding.  If you have a theme, incorporate that into your dress search.  Choose something you are comfortable wearing; if you're self-conscious, it's harder to be confident.  That being said, what is it that makes you confident?  What makes you feel the most beautiful?  If you don't see yourself dancing the night away in a ballgown you could potentially lose a glass shoe in, A-line is the way to go.

Look through some of these designers' collections and find the style that fits your personality!

Tell Me More!

If you're anything like me, you've pictured yourself as a celebrity since you were a little girl. Now, over the years I have pictured myself becoming famous in several different ways.  I have wanted to be a singer, a movie star, a television host, you name it! (I was a rather rambunctious 6 year old).  Since high school though, I have wanted to write for a famous fashion magazine.  As my love for weddings grew and I realized I could make this passion of mine into a hobby, I stumbled upon Brides Magazine.  It has always been a dream of mine to work for what any bridal fashionista would call her "Bible."  I don't care what I do, as long as I am a part of the publication, I would be happy with my career choice.  Writing, styling, photography, all of the above.  I have experience in all areas and could actually see myself in those positions.  Although it may be a stretch, a girl can't help but dream right?

Yes to the Dress

Are you saying "Yes to the Dress?"  Kleinfeld has been a front runner in the bridal industry for a long time.  The company was founded in Brooklyn in 1941 and has been serving brides throughout the country and around the world ever since.  They are a company that has made some major changes since their launch and has steered the business down a road of success.

     

Kleinfeld window displays are some of the most innovative in the industry.  Jacques Vigneault has done amazing things as the brand's creative director.  His job as a fashion communicator is to tell a story with the merchandise.  He captures the essence of the product and the event in which the product will be used.  Through his creative ways, Vigneault persuades consumers to imagine themselves as Kleinfeld brides.  The way he plants that image of perfection in brides' eyes is truly inspiring.

                                                       

The Little Blue Box

We've all heard the saying, "diamonds are a girl's best friend."  Any princess-esque female has put her arm straight out and admired her dream engagement ring upon her finger.  Tiffany & Co. has been turning these daydreams into realities for over 175 years.  Their "Little Blue Box" has become a staple in the jewelry industry.





Charles Lewis Tiffany brought the company to New York City in 1837.  He had a deep love and understanding for diamonds and the quality of his products.  Tiffany and those who have carried on his legacy have done amazing things for the company and for the brand.  The simple concept of the color of their packaging has become a trigger.  They have branded this business to be high-end, luxury products and have successfully accomplished the loyal target market.  Through their business plan and strategies, they have truly caused so many women to fall in love with the brand and the idea of being a "Tiffany" client.
