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…

So today, we enjoyed our usual half an hour on the DLR going to work, as usual we spent this time catching up with what’s going on out there in the world, and what did we find today? This beautiful, timeless and entrancing image by Danielle Guelbart. Featured recently in one of our fav online blogs ‘Dazed and Confused’, Guelbart is making a name for herself. Her images are dreamlike, often involving nature, and a lot of the time include herself in them, creating a documentary of her life of her seeimingly theatrical and whimsical life. They made me think of beauty and nature and the delight of being able to combine them with your perfect day. Guelbart often shoots by the sea, using the water, the white sand and debre as her backdrop. We went on a search for more inspiring images that use the theme of nature and the sea, this is what we came up with…
Narelle Dore, a designer we happen to love, has just released her 2012 collection, entitiled ‘Glazy Days of Sun Rays’. Below are some images we thought would be inspiring to you. The first is a necklace, designed by Dore and structured around seaweed. The rest show this latest collection, think precious stones, shells, crochet, dip dye and nature.
