Top Engagement Rings Of 2013

Posted on December 19, 2013 | 2 comments

Today, especially as 2013 is slowly coming to a cold and windy close, I thought I would share this infographic from Simply Bridal on the top 10 engagement rings of 2013.

I personally am a massive fan of number 3 – the oval cut. Below is also a list of my five favourite engagement rings from a beautiful online custom jeweller Rare Earth who can be found here on Etsy. Their gorgeous rings are made-to-order and can be purchased in any golds – yellow, white or rose, and also in palladium and platinum, (I love their rose gold rings!) and also sets so you have the perfect match your engagement ring! Below are my favourites.

14K Orange Sapphire Ring  – £637.49
14K Vintage amethyst Art Nouveau Engagement Ring – $572.99
14K Blue Sapphire Emerald Cut Engagement Ring – £2,545.56

Today I get to share with you the gorgeous wedding of Emily & Aaron photographed by the Lakshal Perera with a very stylish theme.

“We had very clear instructions to all vendors about what we wanted and why.”

“I have a very monochrome style in day to day life” explains Emily, “and this definitely showed in the wedding. I guess we didn’t do things just because you are supposed at a wedding. No flowers, we didn’t have any traditional songs and honestly didn’t listen to anyone suggestions.“

We were engaged for 5 years, so I had so much time to make things that I refused to pay top dollar for! I think the bouquets were the most fun to do- as I had no real time constraint. I started making those about 18 months before we got married.

Good morning! Did we all have a lovely weekend? I hope you haven’t blown away in all this blustery weather.

Today I’m excited to announce a fabulous new sponsor on Marry Me Ink (You may have seen some of his awesome couples’ shoots on here before), Daniel Hough Photography.

Hey, I’m Dan. I am based in Cheshire/Manchester but I will happily travel anywhere to photograph your wedding.

I love the true beauty of capturing the emotion and love of such a day. From the nervous laughter before the ceremony, to tearing up during the reciting of the vows, all the way to me joining in the crazy dancing with camera in hand.
