Five Creative Ways to Announce Your Engagement

April 27, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

After you’ve made engagement plans, looked at engagement rings and found the right one, you’re faced with the prospect of making your engagement announcement.  Some couples prefer to simply casually announce the news to friends and family.  But if you’re looking for creative ways to make the announcement, as well as keep family and friends up-to-date on your wedding plans, here are some options to consider.

wedding blog A wedding blog. If you’re a web-savvy couple, then why not consider starting to a blog? You can host pictures, thoughts, anecdotes, as well as gift ideas and shower announcements there–even getting tips on your wedding dress, cake and honeymoon locations from your friends via the comments section. You could surprise your friends by one day sending them an email with a link to the blog, where there will be an announcement that you’re engaged.
Skywriting By Plane or Blimp or Billboard. Sure, it’s very public, but the advantages are that those who see it will never forget it. Maybe plan for a picnic with your family and best friends. At some point make sure that everyone sees the engagement announcement and tear out several bottles of champagne!
marriage proposal Using an Engagement Pic. Did he propose to you on a yacht in the Caribbean? Or at your favorite Italian restaurant? And was someone there to capture the special moment on film? If so, then pick out your favorite photo of the special moment and send out an announcement using the picture. This will be a great keepsake that your family and friends will definitely enjoy. You can also use it as an opportunity to announce important dates, such as your bridal shower.
Facebook Twitter Facebook or Twitter Announcement. So you’re an avid Facebook or Twitter user? Then why not make the announcement there? You can even create a Facebook page which can include pics, important dates and other special announcements for your engagement. Definitely the tech-savvy way to go.
dinner party Host a Special Dinner Party. This is certainly one of the classier ways to go…and there’s a variety of creative ways you can reveal the news! One way is to present everyone with chocolate tortes at the end of the meal, with small confections on top that read “Getting Married”. Another way is to tuck a small announcement inside of each napkin. Or you can simply do it the old fashion way, make the announcement and toast your new life together!

Tacori 2010 Bridal Collection

April 13, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

This year’s Tacori 2010 Bridal Collection follows the Tacori tradition of featuring a single large diamond surrounded by smaller stones. The 2010 Bridal Collection was recently unveiled in mid-March and was much anticipated. The ring band are made of white gold or platinum and also studded with sparkling diamonds. Such a diamond-studded solitaire arrangement can actually make the stone look larger, as Tacori elaborates: “The Tacori settings in this collection take the most popular diamond shape–a round-brilliant diamond–and the most popular size–a 1-carat center–and then, the design maestros at California design studios, craft a ring to make the 1-carat diamond look like a 2-carat stone or bigger.”

Interested buyers don’t necessarily have to buy their center stones in classic round brilliant cuts, they can also consider oval, princess, and emerald center cut stones.

A Tacori representative also had this to say about the new collection: “Every woman always dreams about getting the biggest, most beautiful diamond when they are proposed to, and the new Tacori bridal collection of diamond engagement rings features just such rings to dazzle and wow her. We are so proud of this remarkable new collection, and we are thrilled to share it with our new customers.”

The diamond solitaire-style is, of course, one of the more sought-after ring styles, with the tiny diamonds surrounding the center stone ensuring a sparkle from every angle. A Tacori rep also added, “These engagement rings may be from our newest collection, but they have a unique and vintage feel that make these contemporary rings feel like heirloom designs.”

Ex-Fiancée Forced to Give Ring Back

April 8, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

It looks like a Long Island woman won’t be keeping her engagement ring, after all. Danielle Cavalieri, 26, refused to give back her engagement ring to high school sweetheart John Gunther, 27, after she accused him of cheating.  The ring was a beautiful 2.2 carat white gold ring, which Cavalieri held on to for nearly a year-and-a-half.

Danielle Cavalieri

The Long Island New York couple dated for nine years, and even went to prom together.  But the love soon petered out when Cavalieri accused Gunther of an affair and the couple split in October 2008.  Cavalieri allegedly was to give the ring back to Gunther as per a verbal arrangement with Cavalieri’s father, where Gunther would split the cost of the engagement party that the couple was supposed to have.  But Cavalieri refused to give her former fianceé her ring back, saying she was “still too heart broken”.

Apparently Cavalieri wasn’t so heartbroken–she arranged to be married just this Saturday at Our Lady of Victory Church in Floral Park–the very same church that she and Gunther were to be married at.

Cavalieri was ordered by a Long Island court to give back the ring this week, with a Judge writing that New York state law allows a person to get back property that was “given in contemplation of marriage” if the marriage doesn’t occur.  That includes engagement rings!  “Consequently, fault in the breakup of a relationship is irrelevant.” The judge said.

How to Buy an Engagement Ring

April 1, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

Those interested in buying an exclusive engagement ring, may want to first check out the book, 7 Ways to Buy an Engagement Ring She’ll Love.  This is the best way to start researching how you’re going to impress her with an engagement ring she’ll love.

Tacori engagement ring

First you’ll want to discuss the basic considerations you’ll have when purchasing a ring, such as the variety of ring styles, stone shapes and budget range. A diamond shape and cut are not the same thing.  A cut refers to the number of facets and how these facets are proportioned.  The shape is the way in which a stone is cut.  For example, Round Brilliant Cut, Emerald Cut, Pear cut.  You get the point.

Buyers should secondly take into consideration that they will be paying more for a higher clarity and color than simply the carat size alone.  A 2 ct round diamond that is Internally Flawless and a D color, is significantly more valuable than a 5 carat Vs2, J Color.  The higher in color and clarity the diamond is, the more valuable and expensive it will be.

You’ll want to go window-shopping for a ring.  You can do this alone or with her, though it might be good to nonchalantly ask her questions while window-shopping one day in order to get a sense of what she’s looking for!

If you choose to just simply pick out a particular stone, then you might want to consider having a jeweler place it on a very basic setting, propose and then pick out the actual setting together.  That way she can get the ring she wants and you can get the benefit of surprising her!

Engagement ring shoppers may also strive to find cost-effective ways to purchase a diamond ring. Keep in mind that you need not stick to that old saying that an engagement ring should be two month’s salary.  If you can’t afford that, consider going for a smaller diamond and accenting it with a wedding band.  You might also make use of a family heirloom and transform that into your engagement ring–something she is sure to appreciate because of it’s sentimental value.

The engagement ring was custom-made and features a flawless yellow diamond at its center. The ring was designed by jeweler Jonathan Arndt, who has said, “The ring is a symbol of love from Mike Fisher to Carrie Underwood.” Some experts estimate the ring to have a value of up to $1 million. Engagement rings like that are a symbol of love indeed!

Top 100 Love Songs

March 31, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

So you’re planning on popping the question?  Or maybe you just want to woo and impress your lover with a few romantic nights or a really hot mixtape?  Well, then head over to iTunes with your credit card in hand and start downloading because here are 100 must-have love songs that are perfect for plain old romantic nights, marriage proposal nights, or even hot date nights!  If you’re shopping engagement rings right now, then hit some of the Classic love songs or ballads to add a little mood music to your proposal.  Or if you’re just looking to have fun after a date, or give her a mix CD to play in her car, then don’t forget to include some pop or rock songs.

You definitely can’t pass up some of the good old-fashioned love songs that are out there. The Righteous Brother’s “Unchained Melody”, for instance, is a classic that won’t be forgotten and which was also featured in the Hollywood hit, “Ghost” starring Demi Moore. Many songs from the fifties are also wonderful for romantic evenings–from icons like Elvis and Roy Orbison. There are great slower songs that are great for quiet evenings, romantic picnics and the parks, and even cuddling and watching a movie.

If you’re in the mood to rock out with your loved one, then look no further than some of the more upbeat rock tracks that will surely inspire you to at least have fun during your romantic time spent together. Go out on a hot date, hit the bars, come back and crank up U2 or Nirvana for the after-party.

The pop songs are perfect for that mixtape and riding in the car, thinking about your loved one. There is nothing as bombastically fun and swoon-filled as The Knife’s “Heartbeats” or Bjork’s “It’s Oh So Quiet”. And Madonna’s “Crazy for You” is more than just background music, while the  Hip Hop love songs are not only great for chill nights cuddling on the couch, but they’re also Hip Hop classics. Try them out for a more relaxed vibe.

Classic country music has produced some of the saddest love songs in the world, but also the sweetest. The contemporary fare included is more upbeat and crowd-pleasing. Whatever you’re looking for, there’s nothing like a little country to let her know you care.

Finally, the romantic ballads are the songs to play when you’re alone at night and, for one reason or another, can’t be together. They are the perfect songs to play when you really want someone!

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush Taking a Step Back

March 24, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

The NFL player and the reality star aren’t calling it quits, but they’re definitely taking a step back from their relationship, sources said this week.   The couple began dating in 2007, breaking up for a brief period in 2009.  Additionally, marriage speculation has followed the couple, with Kim Kardashian even admitting on a Sirius radio show in April 2009 that she had already been shopping for engagement rings in New Orleans. Kardashian was later spotted wearing a 7 carat diamond ring at a Saint’s game, but it turned out it was just an extravagant fashion choice.

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush

After reconciling with Bush in late 2009, Kardashian explained the brief split.  “I think sometimes people need to take a break just to take time off to see how much they need each other and how much they really are compatible.  We just made the decision that we want to make it work, and the time off was really beneficial for both of us.”

Not long after Kardashian bought a house in Beverly Hills and the couple was rumored to be about to move in together.  Now the two seem more likely to take it slow. “She’s totally happy and fine with everything.  Kim and Reggie are best friends; they really are.  It’s just more that he can’t deal with her life and all the fame she’s gotten.  She and Reggie started dating before she even had her show.  They are working on seeing what they both want.”  We’ll see if Kardashian keeps wearing that engagement ring in the coming weeks!

4-carat diamond lost and retrieved at SNL

March 18, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

A Manhattan event planner, Bree Candee, noticed a four-carat diamond was missing from her wedding ring after attending a “Saturday Night Live” rehearsal last weekend, and dining at the celebrity-worthy eatery, Nobu 57.

Describing herself as “a mess”, Candee’s husband, Brian, offered to phone SNL director, Tom Popple. The couple had met Popple before the rehearsal and he was glad to calm Brian down over the phone, saying “I’m holding it in my hand as we speak.”

“It’s like winning the lottery. You can’t believe it.” Brian later said. With the ring now firmly attached in a new tight prong, wife Bree was shaking. “It’s one of my favorite things.” She said. “I wake up in cold sweats dreaming that I’m going to lose my ring–and the funny thing is, I did.”

Make sure to get your wedding and engagement rings cleaned and prongs checked every few years. ! It’s a very important part of good ring maintenance and will save you from losing the original stone!
