Almost every bride is asking me the following: 1) How can I get all of my bridesmaids to wear the same jewelry! 2) What kind of gifts should I get my bridal party?

I am a huge fan of Etsy (as you know by now) and this solution will make everybody smile! And, at $12.95 + shipping, this is a great find!

You get to choose both your pearl and double-faced satin ribbon colors to create the perfect wedding look for your bridesmaids.

The glass pearls are 10mm in size and are available in a color to match almost any wedding décor (plus, this is the kind of necklace that can be worn forever!)

Check out the Etsy store! More colors added and I am sure they take custom orders J

Careful not to let your jaw drop on the floor as you lay your eyes on Kate Middleton’s royal engagement ring!

Prince William proposed with his late mother’s platinum, diamond, and sapphire engagement ring (I guess the Prince is Green!).

The oval-shaped blue sapphire weighs in at a whopping 18 carats, and is surrounded by 14 dazzling white diamonds.

Looking at the latest trends (Jessica Simpson, Carrie Underwood and Penelope Cruz) it appears that Color is back en vogue!

We all know what that little blue box means…………..The jeweler is launching an expansive collection of handbags, ranging from clutches to totes to satchels, on Sept. 1. Every piece bears an element of Tiffany’s signature robin’s egg blue, whether on a clasp, in a lining or all over a dyed-crocodile purse.

This one is my ABSOLUTE favorite!  At $795 it is a luxury item for sure. Look at the other colors available.………..

I love the history of traditions! Numerous friends posted this on facebook this morning and I thought I had to share this interesting perspective.  Although this is not the only explanation, it is a cool one! According to Wiki, there are other explanations, but today I like this one

Thanks to all my friends who shared this with me.
