Hey yall! Welcome to Wednesday Wedding Inspiration - after dark! ;) I have been painting the interior of our new (to us!) house all day, so this is a little later than I wanted to post, but hey, I'm committed! Lets do this thing! Today's Wednesday Wedding Inspiration is about one of my favorite things too - engagement rings! All of these images are linked to the website they're sold from, in case you see something and fall in love....or need to send a hint to a certain someone ;)
Oval shaped solitaire rings are suuuuper popular right now. Its a fresher version of the classic round diamond, so it seems new while retaining that traditional look. The minimalist look really shows off that gorgeous rock! I really like this trend, and I think an oval cut is gorgeous, and as a bonus makes the diamond look bigger too ;)
I think stacked rings are my favorite right now. They're definitely different! I actually love that about them - its something out of the ordinary, and who doesn't want to shake things up a bit? Stacked rings are popular on Pintrest and wedding blogs, but I've yet to see this type of ring on one of my brides yet which means that they're still pretty ahead of the curve as far as trends go. If you're the boho vintage type of gal, jump on this trend quick! I may just buy a fake one for my right hand ;)
Minimalist rings are for the low maintenance bride with confidence. Understated and dainty - this ring says, "I don't need to be flashy with my love!". This type of ring works great for someone with very thin fingers (like me!), and it really stands out as something different. Even better, these rings are inexpensive so if you dont feel like dropping a month's salary on a ring, think about purchasing one of these beauties!
How cool are these geometric rings? I love their shapes - its totally something new and different. Geometric rings are definitely 2017 - think of your friend who creates unusual sculptures, wears a lot of black and can list her top 10 favorite Warhol paintings - this is the ring for her. Special note - the first one is from one of my favorite designers, Cathy Waterman out of NYC and all of her rings are so gorgeous (and expensive. Ugh.)
Art deco style engagement rings are still in! With a huge influence from The Great Gatsby, these rings and this style have been a hit with future brides for almost 2 years and they're not going anywhere soon! Its easy to see why, they're detailed without being too out there, and their style is vintage which makes them appealing. I love styling these types of rings on a shoot, they're very dreamy!
Are there any specific up and coming engagement ring trends you've noticed or love in specific? Let me know in the comment section!
