    Shiny, yellow gold may be unfashionable in some circles, but the majority of Indian brides continue to go for gold. Well-known South Indian actress Rambha who got married at Tirumala in Tirupathi wore a white and gold saree and lots of gold jewellery. For the reception in Chennai she picked a gold saree accessorised with heavy, chunky gold jewellery. While we liked the traditional look, softer and more subtle makeup would have made her look much better. Rambha married Indiran, a Canada based businessman. Reception outfit was another over-the-top affair but gotta say the bride glowed with happi...

    There is something about this color combo I find really inspiring ... the natural tones of brown, gold, and taupe set the mood for an upscale and elegant soiree.  There are so many ways you can use these colors together!  I especially love the gold chiavari chairs with the espresso cushions ... they make me think of rich chocolate wrapped in gold foil.  Of course, any excuse to use a gold charger is ok by me and the detailed napkin is very striking under those beautiful gold boxed favors.  The cream colored flowers soften this look by adding a light accent tone ... and the taupe roses give...

    One idea I love--Companies like Brilliant Earth use recycled gold to reduce destructive practices associated with gold mining. You can read more about the process here, or find a setting (for really affordable prices!) here....

  • If you can afford it, platinum is the way to go. It’s a pure substance. White gold is a man-made metal. There’s no such thing coming out of the ground as white gold. You take yellow gold and mix it with some white alloys like nickel and that’s what’s called white gold. Over time, the yellowness of the gold will begin to shine through. In about 2 years, you can expect to take your ring to a jeweler to have it re-coated in rhodium. That will make it white again. Of platinum rings, by the way, there’s different levels of purity. 950 platinum means that its 95% pure platinum. There’s ...
