Some turquoise in your life: weddings and more

THIS YEAR, Tiffany and Co. celebrates its 175th anniversary. Tiffany and Young was founded in 1837 as a stationery emporium in New York City. In 1940, Tiffany moved to the current location on Fifth Avenue and focused on jewellery.

It has been long time since the original store opened and from then on the link between Tiffany’s brand and the colour became stronger and stronger. Nothing more than this brand with its classic Blue Box symbolises a company and  a style.

Light medium robin egg blue color (Tiffany Blue is the colloquial name) is produced as a private custom colour by Pantone, with PMS number 1837- the year when Tiffany’s was founded.

Now with its almost 240 stores around the world it continues to provide dreams and style in small gorgeous blue boxes.

This amazing blue color represents communication, creativity, and at the same time it is incredibly modern and chic.

Designers are now totally obsessed with it: clothes, shoes, jewellery and also stylish things for home collections.

Turquoise was a favourite of Victorian brides.Very simple and elegant, soft and sweet, it is almost perfect for weddings.

AS A BRIDE, you can play with the blue palette,  and make turquoise your own, but if you are not a “Tiffany Bride”, you can still use the blue color in your clothes and decor.

WHETHER it is light or bright, the timeless style of this colour means the result will be chic and stylish.

Timeless Vintage

The beauty of Vintage is that it never gets old. It will forever be a timeless collection of days when the world was simpler, when jewellery and hair bands were delicate, fabrics intricate, and every item had a sense of individuality and importance.

Magpie Vintage is a local London company that will design those special items for you on your day. Their items have a sense of class and timelessness, they hold a presence of a type of craftsmanship that seems to have been forgotten in our fast paced world. They remind us that that something “new” can also be something “old”.

Stunning and unusual weddings bands

When it comes to wedding bands, the choices have often been quite limited. Do you go for the plain yellow gold, white gold or the platinum? On a practicality front, plain wedding bands are great as they need little care and will still look as good in 20 years.

But a new wave of brides are craving something more spectacular to show off their married status. No more boring bands. These ladies want diamonds, unusual designs and even different colours (rose gold anyone?)

Luckily jewellery designers have caught onto this trend and are designing stunning wedding bands that not only are practical but consider personal taste a necessity, allowing you to choose a wedding band that reflects you. Here’s a pick of some of our favourites from De Beers and Tiffany & Co.

This unsual ring is great for brides who want to step away from the tradional wedding band. Not only is the shape of the ring unique but the diamonds add that extra touch of glamour. These gems are also available to stack if you’re not happy with just the one ring!

For the conservative brides, an antique diamond, maybe belonging to old family treasures?

Or instead, why not opting for a big dream such as a diamond crown… like a real princess?

Or maybe, just be different! Don’t buy a ring, just opt for a bracelet, an endless symbol to carry with you everyday…

Or simply… opt for a classic: This beautiful rose gold ring.

J’adore Dior! Ever since I saw these amazing rings in the store window on the Via dei Condotti in Rome, I’ve been obsessed! I love the combination of the luxurious gem stones and the quirky, kitsch details, like the enamel ladybirds and daisies.

This cute, almost antique design, bursting with colour, has inspired all kinds of one-of-a-kind wedding accessories…

Wasn’t the Louis Vuitton show for Spring/Summer 2012 like something out of a dream? And it was all down to the carousel, which Marc Jacobs set up in the Louvre to showcase his ethereal, delicate dress designs. Pure magic!

In fact, everybody can use a little bit of the magic of the merry-go-round in their life…
