WEDDING BAND SELECTION TIPS | NYC WEDDING BLOGGING
Choosing the right engagement ring is hard enough, so you would think that purchasing a wedding band wouldn’t be as difficult. Well, you’re right. Of course, only if you let me guide you in the right direction. Here are a few Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to your wedding band selection:
1) Matching is cool for newborn twins or Junior High School besties, but not for newlyweds. Make sure your bands are a reflection of your own individual styles. Besides, it’s not like you leave the house each morning wearing matching outfits – at least I hope not.
2) Though you don’t want to buy the exact same rings, be sure that they have at least one element that’s along the same lines. For instance, a similar engraving is always a nice touch, or even stones of the same shape. Some may differ, but I think at the very least, they should be of the same metal.
3) Speaking of metals, make sure your engagement ring and wedding band are made of the same metal, too. It makes for a more cohesive and clean look. Not to mention, metals change with time. When they’re new, they may look the same but as they age, their color will change.
4) We know you’re fancy and may like the finer things in life, but please do not choose a band that overpowers your engagement ring. You want to wear these bands together, and your engagement ring should always be the statement piece. Think of the band as a beautiful complementary accent piece.
Before I forget, just a quick reminder that although I love eternity bands, especially those with diamonds or other stones around it, it is difficult to have it resized should you lose or gain weight. Just some food for thought. No pun intended. Until next time!
NICHOLE & CHRIS
To say that Nichole & Chris’ Wedding Day was unique and a barrel of laughs, would be an understatement. This couple are without a doubt the perfect match for one another.

Beginning with a modern New York City adventure through Central Park, the Bride & Groom met for their First Look. Kisses were shared and both beamed while photos were snapped. Next up? Nichole & Chris made their way down to Gramercy to their wedding venue of choice – the magnificent HOME STUDIOS. Using small DIY elements, including polaroid table photos and an Anniversary Piñata, the B&G added a sweet and personal touch to the intimate Ceremony & Rockin’ Reception. Once vows were exchanged, heartfelt toasts were given and scrumptious food devoured, it was time to let loose on the dance floor with rainbow confetti and red clown noses for all!

“We are truly surrounded by love on this day. Your love for each other will grow deeper each day – but genuine liking for each other, the willingness to accept each other’s strong and weak points with understanding and respect, is the foundation for a strong marriage.” Sincere and truthful words shared by the Officiant.
August 15, 2015.

Red, white and blue (RWB) were the day’s color scheme highlighting fine details from the Bride’s eye-catching bouquet to the icing on the wedding cake.

Wearing a sleeveless cocktail length wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice and voluminous white tulle skirt, the Bride’s attire was perfect for such sweet nautical nuptials. Bridget’s twisted knot up-do with white feather hairpiece was a classic stunner.
