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!

“Whoever said that money can’t buy happiness, simply didn’t know where to go shopping”

- Bo Derek

Bo Derek you speak the truth! Here are a couple of facts – sometimes a gal needs a little pick-me-up in the form of a shopping spree. Also, when a gal embarks on a wedding shopping spree, the experience is taken to a whole new level of fun.

That being said, having a happy shopping experience can definitely be a challenge. Thank you crowds and sold out items. But here’s the good news, that’s all changing thanks to a new era of fashion shopping and a company called For Her and For Him. Yep, shopping online can now give you that happy experience you’ve been seeking.

What’s more, For Her and For Him have recently launched a new “Custom Color” service because they understand how stressful it can be for brides to find the perfect color for their bridesmaid dresses. Brides simply send the colors they have in mind to For Her and For Him and they will find the perfect color match, from thousands of both online and offline color options. Now, can I get an “Amen” up in here?

They’ve also recently released over 60 new dresses to their already bursting inventory of stunning Bridesmaid Dresses.

For those of you with a more classic sensibility, For Her and For Him has released around 30 new vintage bridesmaid dresses. This collection will provide your bridesmaids with a classic and memorable look that will turn your wedding day into a truly memorable event.

Why not glam up your wedding day with theses vintage frocks:

If the Vintage Collection is not quite what you’re looking for, you’ll be happy to know that For Her and For Him have a gorgeous array of dresses in their new alluring Two Tone Collection. The dresses in this collection will brighten up your wedding day and add a dash of fantasy.

To enter a new era of wedding fashion shopping, head over to For Her and For Him. They currently have a “buy more, save more promotion on bridesmaid dresses”, where you receive 5% off 2 dresses, 10% off 3 to 5 dresses, and 15% off 6 or more dresses.

When it comes to destination wedding venues we have three things that are high on our priority list: gorgeous venue, excellent service and convenience. Viceroy Bali has them all – it’s essentially the destination wedding venue that holds the triple threat.

Viceroy Bali is a five star family owned and operated resort in Ubud consisting of 25 luxuriously appointed private pool villas. The gorgeous pool villas are majestically situated in Bali’s “Valley of the Kings”. “Valley of the Kings” is a title given to the area by locals due to the many generations of Balinese royalty who resided in nearby villages.

From the moment you arrive at Viceroy Bali, it’s easy to see why Balinese royalty were attracted to the peaceful area. The lush surroundings make Viceroy Bali feel like a tropical hideaway. It also feels tremendously sophisticated, comfortable, and private.

When it comes to weddings, Viceroy Bali is quintessential and has an events team that can handle anything and everything. They are well prepared and super experienced in planning all types of weddings, from large traditional white weddings to intimate Balinese legal weddings. The team handle all customised activates for the event {photographer, wedding cake, band), whilst also creating a delicious culinary experience and providing superior attentive service.

The convenience factor is also extremely endearing, as Viceroy Bali has every facility under the sun. It has the Viceroy Bar, which has an exceptional view over the Petanu river gorge and is a perfect place to just sit and relax. It has CasCades Restaurant, which is an award-winning fine dining restaurant with a contemporary French menu influenced by exotic Asian flavours.

It has the Lembah Spa, which offers therapeutic body treatments developed by a certified Swiss therapist. It has a gymnasium where you can book yourself in for a private yoga class. It has a boutique full of casual resort wear, jewellery and artefacts. It even has a helicopter pad, perfect for guests that want to avoid the 45-minute drive from the Ngurah Rai international airport or for guests that want to tour neighbouring islands in style.

It also has a large infinity edge pool, library and so much more.

The accommodation includes the Garden Villas, the Terrace Villas, the Deluxe Terrace Villas, the Vice Regal Villas, and the Viceroy Villa. All the villas are spacious, beyond luxurious, and include a pool. Complimentary perks include daily á la carte breakfast, wireless internet connection, daily restocking of the mini bar with non-alcoholic drinks, an espresso maker, 24 hr room service and magnificent views of the Petanu River Gorge.

Viceroy Bali makes you feel special, valued, and appreciated. It was thoughtfully conceived and manages to reach deep into your soul and offer a treasured and memorable experience. In a nutshell, it’s a special place for a special day or a special honeymoon.
