Did you know that according to the BBC, nearly 40% of engagements happen in the 2½ months between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day? And the day the most engagements take place is on Christmas Eve! This means that this Friday, more people will get engaged than any other day of the year! So now is the perfect time for some winter proposal inspiration!

To make your engagement special, you are going to have to think outside of the box. Proposals should be personal and tied to special memories that you share with your partner. So, if you are one of the many planning to propose on Christmas Eve or sometime this winter, look to the season for proposal inspiration!

Unique Proposal Inspiration

There are so many fun and creative elements of the holidays to incorporate into your proposal this season. If you are proposing sometime one Christmas Day or Christmas Eve, consider hiding the ring! Hide the ring on a branch of your Christmas tree or stuff your partner’s stocking with it for them to find.  

Or, get an ornament that opens to reveal your engagement ring. That way, you will have a special keepsake to commemorate your engagement that you can decorate your tree with every year! And if you are into large gestures, try writing out your proposal in Christmas lights or in the snow! 

The options are endless when you draw inspiration from the time of year you are proposing in! And of course, don’t forget to incorporate personal details and special moments you have shared together into your proposal. You will be sure to make this season unforgettable!

Christmastime is here, and with it comes a whole lot of engagements. According to the BBC, nearly 40% of engagements happen in the 2½ months between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. The number of engagements skyrockets on Christmas Eve. So, in honor of this season of getting engaged, we’re giving you our guide to engagement rings so you can pick the perfect one for your partner!

Clean and Simple 

When choosing the perfect engagement ring, try to think about what your partner’s personal style is. What kind of jewelry do they wear daily? If your partner opts for more dainty jewelry for everyday wear, go for a classic and simple cut! Think Round, Oval, Cushion, or Radiant cuts. These classic cuts will never go out of style and will work perfectly for your understated partner.  

Modern

If your partner chooses larger, statement pieces for their everyday jewelry, consider an Emerald, Princess, or Asscher cut diamond. These modern cuts will be the perfect statement while still looking elegant and chic. Also, consider unique band styles like halos, yellow gold, or diamond bands to add a bit of character to these classy cuts.

Unique and Trendy

Finally, if your partner is always looking for the next fun and unique piece to add to their collection, check out interesting cuts like Heart, Pear, and Marquise. Make these cuts personal by hopping on trends like adding multiple stones of various cuts.  Or select nature-inspired bands that vine and wrap around the finger.  

 

Whichever you choose, you can’t go wrong when you keep in mind their personal style!  So, ask your partner’s friends what they’d like and pay attention to their jewelry box and you won’t go wrong when picking out your engagement rings!

The Latest Winter Wedding Trends

/in /by

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZjDhM_aFbk[/embedyt] December is here and, with it comes colder weather, shorter days, and new winter wedding trends. Even though it’s not the most popular time of year to get married, a winter wedding offers a unique charm you wouldn’t be able to get in spring or summer. Get inspired with this season’s latest and most popular winter wedding trends and see which ones you want to incorporate into your big day!

Bridal Capes

One beautiful trend that we are seeing all over the wedding scene this winter is bridal capes. These unique bridal accessories are the perfect cold-weather touch to add to your wedding attire. Functional as they are fashionable, bridal capes will protect you against the harsh winter weather in the most stylish way. And just like veils, they come in all kinds of styles and designs to fit the theme of your wedding. 

Winter White

Just because it happens to be the holiday season does not mean that everything has to be red and green. Winter is the perfect time to incorporate white into your color pallet. Winter white will add a clean and chic finish to your ceremony and reception space. The best part is that, unlike bolder colors or metallics, white can function beautifully as an accent or with more use!

Stand Out Bridal Party Attire

A trend that began this fall and is sustaining in popularity into winter is unique bridal party attire. Think colorful groomsmen suits, velvet bridesmaid dresses, and leather accents. If you are looking for a fun and different way to incorporate some new colors and textures into your big day, put them on your bridal party!
