You’ve finlly found the one, who deserves nothing but the best of you. It’s time to get that perfect ring for your beautiful bride–a nice diamond ring that sits pretty on her finger, blinding the guests with its sparkles. A wedding ring generally compromises of three parts–setting, metal band and the diamond.

Metal band

That would either be white gold, yellow gold or platinum. Just a note that the higher the karat rating for gold bands, there’s a higher percentage of pure gold in a piece, not only making it richer in colour but softer too. As the karat decreases, other metal elements are added. This will distort the colour to a reddish blue stone. Couples are opting more for a platinum metal band these days. It is the purest, rarest and heaviest precious metal that is not only very soft, but extremely dense.

Diamond

Ah, Known as a girl’s best firend and also highlight of the ring, it is the marvelous diamond. A diamond’s worth is measured by famous 4Cs–Carat, Clarity, Colour and Cut.
Carat is the unit of weight for the diamond. Though you might want a wind-blowingly huge diamond, it does not necessarily mean it will look nice on all women. You might need to consider the slenderness of your bride’s fingers to see if they fit together.
Claritydescribes the purity of a diamond. This is determined by the number, size, nature, and location of the internal and external imperfections.
Colour describes the amount of colour the diamond contains. This ranges from colourless to yellow with slight tints of yellow to brown, blue, green, pink, and red. These fancy colors are uncommon and therefor more valuable.
Cut refers to proportions, finish, symmetry and polish of the diamond. These factors determine the fine and brilliance of a diamond. Yes, quality cutting is the secret behind those spellbinding sparkles.

Setting

A setting is the mountings which attach the diamond to the ring’s band.
Solitaire: Timeless and elegant, solitaire rings remain as a brides’ favourite throughout the years.
The-Stone: A band that focuses not only on a single gem, but one that highlights a row of three matched stones. Each stone representing the past, present and future of a relationship.
Pave: Covering the band with smaller diamonds and a bigger one in the middle, the bling cannot be any more obvious than this.
Bezel: Known for its durability, bezel rings feature metal bands that wrap around a circular diamond to hold it in place.
Of course there are other alternatives, amongest which are the flush setting, bar setting and the chic invisible setting.

Since you’re going to marry this girl, it is expected of you to already know some of her perferences. You do not want to jeopardize your amazing, creative and romantic proposal so always remember to only buy diamonds from recegnized jewelery stores. Happy hunting!

What? Since being different is what you’re all about. Be experimental and mix things up. The bridal gown could be in ivory, but with a splash of colour. And for the grooms, leave that bow-tie out and indulge in a little four-in-hand-tie.
Where? Anywhere you wish! Do make sure you get legal permits though, getting a lawsuit is not exactly a smart move. And don’t fret about the decor, you’re exposed enough to welcome the unconventional.

Unless you have been professional trained to look good in all photos, at all angles, chances are there are some photos you’d rather hide in your closet. Here are some tips to be photogenic.
1. Heads up
This means literally. Tilt your head slightly upwards, meaning the camera should be just above eye level. You wouldn’t wanna be caught looking down on your wedding day, that’s just negative. And this trick prevents a double chin, which of course you would want to avoid -  at all costs.
2. Relax
Most people get too tensed worring about ruining the photo that they are, in fact, spoiling it. Relax, take a deep breath, it’s either in or out! By relaxing your face muscles, it instantly creates a natural glow! Now what beats what?
3. Do not force
If you don’t like smiling (or just had jello spilt on your gown and have no intention to for the next 345seconds), don’t force it. Trust us, you wouldn’t want to leave any trace of artificial expression in a photo. They will haunt you.
4. Upfront
One basic trick is to never stand straight into the camear. It never did anyone good for the past century. Tilt your body to a slight angle, and have your hips twist towards the camera. Reduces red eyes, higher appeal and definitely enhances your feature.
5. Be a child
Look at your old photos from when you were small. Was there any that wasn’t adorable or picture perfect? Our bet is none. That’s because children generally follow the rules of photo taking, that too effortlessly. They are relaxed, sincere with their expressions and playful. So bring out the child in you and it will show in the photos. Bottom line is, if you’re having fun it will show.

Your wedding will be held in winter? Here are many beautiful white cakes that celebrate the winter season. Do you like them?

All the brides wish to show their best look in wedding, so many brides want to lose weight before their big day. Follow our guidelines and, without counting a calorie or weighing a single morsel that passes your lips, watch the pounds drop off…

Don’t
* Eat when you’re not hungry. Most of us have got into the habit of eating for reasons other than hunger, when we’re bored or angry, say. Whenever you feel hungry ask yourself: “Am I really hungry or is it something else?” If it’s a comfort you’re after, do something else: have a bath, phone a friend, double-check your wedding plans.
* Expect a huge change in your weight overnight. Aim to lose 1 to 2lbs per week.
* Weigh yourself every day as you’ll only be measuring changes in your body water. A weekly weigh in, at the same time of day, will give you a far more accurate record of your progress.
* Be fooled by low-fat food claims. Some foods may claim that they’re low fat, even when the fat content could still be contributing up to 40 per cent of the calories. What’s more, fat-free foods often need something else to replace the flavour, usually sugar!

Do
* Eat more fruit and vegetables.
* Fill up on high-fibre carbohydrates. They’re low fat, but will help you to feel fuller for longer. Because these foods are processed by the body at a slow, steady pace, they help to keep hunger pangs at bay. Good high-fibre carbohydrate foods include wholegrain rice, pasta and bread, oats, vegetables, pulses (lentils and beans) and fruit.
* Eat some high-protein foods such as meat and poultry. Grill or roast rather than fry. Always trim off any visible fat and remove the skin from chicken and turkey.
* Eat some fat, but especially the polyunsaturated kind found in seeds and fish.
* Drink plenty of water — up to eight glasses a day.
* Eat regularly — up to five times a day. Don’t allow more than three hours to elapse between meals or snacks. Eating little and often will help to stave off the hunger pangs and keep your blood sugar levels even, helping you to avoid cravings.
* Eat when you’re hungry. If you don’t, your body thinks it’s being starved and starts burning vital muscle for energy rather than excess fat.
* Eat slowly and stop when you’re full. You don’t have to clear your plate.
* Eat a little of what you fancy. You can eat chocolate in moderation: as long as you can control the urge to binge, it won’t hamper your weight loss.
* Drink alcohol in moderation. If you want a drink, have a glass with your evening meal, but don’t store up your daily allowance for a weekend blow out — it’ll do you more harm than good.
* Remember that you’ll get more of what you focus on. So spend some time each day picturing yourself as you would like to be – slim and gorgeous in your wedding dress…
* Get more exercise. Just 20 minutes of aerobic activity releases hormones called endorphins that help to improve your mood. The Health Education Authority actually recommends 30 minutes of exercise a day to stay healthy. However, you don’t have to join a gym to work out. Brisk walking will do the trick — it actually burns more calories than low-impact aerobics. All you need to do is invest in a pair of good trainers.
* One way to tot up your 30 minutes of activity is to get off the bus a few stops early, take a walk in your lunch break or walk to work instead of driving. Plan your walks so that you cover flat, uphill and downhill terrain. Start out at a gentle pace and gradually build up. Try to alter the speed and intensity of your walks; do a slow ramble one day and a short, fast walk the next.
