Chic Home-Style Wedding {Rhiana + Tray} 16.05.2013

It’s with extreme foot-jittering delight that we share these pretty wedding pictures.

Stunning couple, Rhiana and Brian, chose to have a church wedding followed by a backyard picnic style reception. They held their charming reception in their friend’s backyard in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, United States.

The couple chose a wickedly cool Blue and Red colour scheme, as well as the world’s most adorable wedding cake, which they surrounded with strawberries and scrumptious looking pies.

The fabulous girls from Celebrations were responsible for the adorable table arrangements and floral designs.

Melissa Stallings Photography captured the day and remarked, “I had entirely too much fun getting to know this couple, from their County Fair engagement session to their laid back, home-style wedding. They made my job so incredibly enjoyable and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to document their day.”

Congratulations Rhiana and Tray and thank you for sharing your wedding photos. Here’s a big call: This wedding is a new favourite for us.

Origami Wedding {Erin + Travis} 13.05.2013

You don’t need to adjust your computer screens, but you will need to pop on a pair of anti-dazzle visors before you take a peek at these wedding pictures.

Erin and Travis picked a fun origami and bright colours theme for their Colorado wedding held at Stone Mountain Lodge.

The couple chose the unusual wedding theme because when Travis proposed to Erin he used origami and Japanese tradition. There’s an ancient Japanese legend that promises if you fold a thousand paper cranes you will be granted a wish upon folding the last one.

Travis spent six months folding paper cranes and when he reached his final one, he wished for Erin to marry him. He proposed to her and she said “yes”. Together they then folded an additional three hundred paper cranes for their wedding decor. Crafty Erin also folded origami for the bouquets.

James Allen 09.05.2013

James Allen is no stranger to One Stylish Bride. In fact, we love doing jamesallen reviews and it seems others do too.

James Allen specialises in selling quality diamonds, gems and engagement rings online. They operate their store purely online, which allows them to cut overhead costs and focus exclusively on quality and service. This means you can get your hot little hands on top-notch wedding jewellery at a fraction of the price charged by bricks and mortar jewellery stores.

What’s more, their website has exclusive Diamond Display Technology, which allows you to interact with diamonds magnified in 360°.

We love that James Allen has G.I.A Graduate Gemologists on staff at both their Maryland and New York offices, which are available to answer all your questions at any time.

Plus all their diamonds are GIA, AGS or IGI certified. They even have experts that examine and hand select each and every diamond prior to shipment. Impressive quality control, huh!

James Allen also makes sure that their diamonds are conflict-free, which means that their gems were not obtained due to human rights abuses, child labor, violence, or environmental degradation. They ensure this by only purchasing polished diamonds from professional members of the diamond trade and by only having contracts with suppliers that guarantee that their diamonds are conflict-free.

Lets face it though; sometimes a girl wants to try on an engagement ring before she commits to it. Luckily James Allen totally sympathises and offers free shipping on all their items, a 60-day money back guarantee, and free ring resizing for 60 days after your purchase.

We’re involuntary sighing and swooning over their Designer Engagement Ring Collection, which features exquisite rings with lots of little diamonds and shimmering brilliance.

We’re also super keen on their Tension-Set Engagement Ring Collection. The tension ring doesn’t have any prongs holding the diamond in place. Instead, tension rings use the force and the tension of the ring to push against the diamond to hold the diamond securely in place. This type of setting creates the illusion that the center diamond is floating in the air. It’s absolutely perfect for the contemporary girl!

We also find the Gemstone Engagement Ring Collection totally irresistible. We think sapphires, emeralds and rubies are simply gorgeous, especially when paired with a diamond center stone. It’s wonderfully unexpected!
