If 'change' is on your mind then let's change our thoughts when it comes to picking a luxurious engagement ring. Fall madly in love with Tanzanite , an amazing and rare African gemstone radiating a kaleidoscope of velvet blue, sensual violet, intense indigo, lilac and periwinkle from every facet. Your engagement ring will be like no other because it is rare to find two Tanzanite stones of identical color. Tanzanite was introduced by Tiffany & Co. in 1968 who declared it 'the most beautiful blue stone discovered in over 2 000 years and 1000 times rarer than diamonds." Imagine dancing the night away in this evening shoe designed by Stuart Weitzman and Le Vian Jeweler who combined 185 carats of tanzanite and 28 carats of diamonds. Yours for a mere 2 million USD. Christopher Greig for Charles Greig Jewellery designed these luxurious engagement rings. Now...doesn't this give new meaning to 'getting the blues'! For more luxurious wedding ideas and reso...

A wedding is a fusion of mutual love and respect. For the wedding of Shejal Desai and Josh Carpenter it was also a visual demonstration in the fusion of ethnic and religious cultures. The bride and groom wanted a wedding where the wedding guests could experience the harmonious blending of the Hindu and Christian cultures through the eyes of the bride and groom. Held at the Evergreen Museum & Library in Baltimore Maryland, everything was in keeping with its historical elements. The theme was pure vintage romance combined with the delicate details of historic Indian old world charm. The use of natural elements in the décor includes branches, curly willow and wild flowers. The color palette of sage green, vanilla bean, paprika and chocolate brown came to life under a white tent draped with sumptuous fabric. Wrought iron candlestick chandeliers added a soft amber glow to contrast with the lighting decor focused to illuminate the top of the tent. For the ceremony the bride wore a custom...

We think this post from Luxurious Wedding Etiquette & Protocol is an important message for all brides to read. In all the hustle and bustle of the wedding planning frenzy, we want you to remember how important your guests are. It is a tribute to you and an honor when invited guests join in the celebration of your love and union. Their acceptance of your invitation puts them in a very special category. As with any guest invited to your home, you must treat your wedding guests with the same graciousness . You have extended an invitation, therefore, you are responsible for their comfort and enjoyment. Yes, it is true, you are the star and they are your audience; but the enjoyment your guests experience will ultimately determine the success of your wedding. During your wedding planning, peak out from under your veil of excitement for a moment and imagine how you would feel attending your wedding as a guest. Put yourself in their place and visualize what they might encounter from the m...

Using wedding calligraphy in creative ways shows a level of good taste and an appreciation of calligraphy as a form of art. A calligrapher will invest hours inscribing your wedding invitations to produce magnificent lettering with graceful curving flourishes that will certainly impress your guests. But we think calligraphy is much too pretty to just use only on invitations. We are always impressed with the ideas our Luxurious Wedding Calligraphers share with their brides. On the left...A hand painted and hand lettered seating chart from Jan Boyd. In the center, Angela Welch of Pen and Pauper designed the monogram. Then the bride made custom cuff links for the groom. Laura Hooper applied calligraphy to sand dollars keeping to the theme of the wedding. On the right...is an Angela Welch custom aisle runner with calligraphy monogram and her hand lettered marriage certificate accented with gold paint. And the Laura Hooper Welcome Tote featuring one of her famous custom maps. View all ou...

A Fuschia and Black color combination for a wedding theme can be extremely beautiful and bold. They are striking together and a departure from other popular colors. . The setting was at the ever gorgeous Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill Estate in Connecticut. Swarovski crystals, candle votives and Fuschia Orchids hung from tree branches. Basic black box pleated linen was used. Fuchsia azalea fabric was hand sewn into the corners of the linen revealing hints of fuschia within the black. Then the favors were wrapped in the Fuschia azalea fabric. View other Luxurious Wedding Theme Ideas .
