If there’s one thing we can count on to change, it’s wedding trends! From dahlias to drones, couples are having more fun than ever with ways to make their special day memorable.
Engagement and wedding rings are symbols of the commitment of marriage, and often the first big decision a couple makes together. According to Ronny Medawar, President of Medawar Jewelers, current trends in engagement/wedding rings include organic styles with side carvings, and simple, elegant styles with the focus on the center diamond, complimented by a wedding band with larger diamonds to sit aside the engagement ring.
More than ever, the latest wedding trends encourage couples to be themselves. And isn’t that the point? Rustic or luxe, cupcakes or caviar, it’s YOUR day and it should be exactly what you want it to be. Here are a few ideas.
