5 Things to Know before Ring Shopping

12/28/2022

 

Time to go over all things ring related!

​If you're here and are like SOS how do I even guide my partner towards the ring I would love?
​
​Worry not... our biggest tip is to communicate.
​

​Tell EVERYONE in your circle. Talk to your family, parents, siblings, friends, roommate, and especially your significant other.

How to present the ring

The proposal should totally be a fun surprise but the step in the relationship totally not. That means you have a window of opportunity to easily be honest (in a light way of course) on what is truly important to you. If you are like Jenna and heirlooms are important to you you can listen in to her personal experience on how not only she but her family communicated that to Hunter before he proposed.
If you are going to be buying a ring - WOW! Did you even realize before looking into it that there are so so many options? It's quickly overwhelming we get it so let's cover the basics.

Finding Your Wedding Style

​What is a Wedding Theme or Wedding Style?

free wedding download guide
As I was doing research for Episode #09 on Behind the Party Podcast I did a quick google search for “Wedding Themes” and to my surprise, I saw countless articles using the terms “Wedding Themes” and “Wedding Styles” interchangeably. In my opinion, and based on how my brain has started to categorize wedding terminology after 5 years in the industry, I view Themes as an overarching aspect of your event.

Wedding Theme Examples:
Halloween, Disney, Garden, Day of the Dead

Whereas style is more about the visual aspect of your event. The personality of a wedding, and almost like picking a style for your home.
​
Style Examples: Modern versus vintage, elegant and black tie versus a casual evening

From our team discussion, we determined that we all believe that not all couples need a wedding theme. However, a wedding STYLE will always help with your vision of the day, so we definitely recommend always having a style in mind. A style will also help you and your significant other's vision and personality not get lost or left behind in the chaos of planning!
