Let’s start thinking about the perfect wedding band to accent that sparkly rock on your finger. You could go with the matching band to your show-stopping engagement ring… but that’s too easy. What about a mismatched band that makes the set a one-of-a-kind? This concept works best if you have an engagement ring with a simpler design. Mismatching is also a great way to add some color to your set. The next time you are paying a visit to the jeweler, take a look at the stacking rings - they are typically fun, colorful, and artfully designed rings meant for stacking a few on one finger. However, a single stacking ring is a great option for a wedding band.
There is no shortage of jewelers in Nashville, but after doing a little research, Anatra Jewel has the best selection.

There is nothing more special then that exact moment. The exact moment that your future husband pops the question. It’s a moment that you want to freeze in time for all eternity. A moment that you will replay over and over again in your mind for years to come. A moment that you realize that your life is about to change for the better.
Whether you have been engaged or are already married - you have to admit that you can still get butterflies hearing the story of “how it happened” and wanting to know every single little detail. Some newly engaged couples are getting really creative on documenting these special moments. Documenting them so that they can share with friends, family and for people like you. We came across this video just the other day and have watched it too many times. I hope this little peice of joy sparks that little butterfly that gets you even more excited for that journey of wedded bliss!

At WedCandy, we feel that trends can range from gowns to shoes to makeup designs. But today we venture a little outside the box and talk about one trend hitting local weddings. It’s not a designer dress or a new bouquet of flowers…. its the guest book. You are always wanting one unique way to keep a solid memory of all of the guests that attended your wedding – well, let me introduce you to the idea of the photo booth. This is one way that allows your guest to leave you a picture with a personal message of happily ever afters and also lets your guests have a souvenir from your wedding to take home with themselves as well. You can turn these photo booth images into your guest book by adding them to one special album that you will treasure forever. This is scrap-booking at its finest, but you are letting your guests have all the creativity. Visit The Classic Photobooth or Photobooth Nashville who are both sweeping the Nashville Wedding scene.
Have you attended a wedding where you used a Photo Booth? Tell us about it! Also, have you used a photo guest book? Submit us your picture…. we would LOVE to see your creativity!

Most of the joy and celebration for a Wedding is usually around the bride. That is very understandable – with showers and gifts flowing in her direction from the day the engagement ring was placed on her finger until she walks down the aisle. It’s a constant celebration. During that time, its always fascinating to see how the groom is involved. Whether it’s with a couples shower or just a few of the guys hanging out. But one idea that’s always a fabulous idea is getting all the guys together for an afternoon – and going to get a close shave. I have learned that this is something all men find as a treat, but not many actually do for themselves. Why don’t you take a trip to your local Uncle Classic Babershop. With now two locations in Nashville – Brentwood and Belle Meade – there should be one close by. For under 40 bucks each of your groom and groomsmen can be treated to a straight razor shave with all the trimmings. Truly, a guy should feel pampered too!

As a bride to be, you have done SO much planning for your big day. Why not have the carefree attitude that you will have as much help as needed the day of. One thing to always consider is hiring a make-up artist. The latest trend in bridal make-up is simple, classic and timeless. Natural colors adding to your current features. Nothing over the top and remembering that simple can be dramatic too. Add neutral color shadows with fake lashes or adding a hint of bronzer to your cheeks to give you that sun-kissed and always fresh look. There are so many ways that you can play with your look. So, take the stress off and hire someone to make you look more stunning that you already are on your big day.
