A Right Royal Do: The Wedding Issue

Every bride is a princess on her wedding day. This year, however, we have all had real life royals to look to for wedding fashion tips. Now, finally, a part of the royal family, Princess Kate is going to be a major influence on the trend scene for years to come.

With the memories of the royal wedding still lingering in the air, tiaras look set to become major components of the bridal parure once again, although most brides will not be able to waltz down the aisle in royal-issue diamond-set tiaras.

One place where the royals don’t seem to be influencing the trends is when it comes to the male wedding ring. Prince William might have refused to wear one, but fortunately for jewelers, most men are happy to display their marital status on their finger. In fact, men are becoming more and more adventurous, at least in terms of the type of metals they choose for their wedding rings.

Finally, we look at the awkwardly-named but growing trend of the male engagement ring. Yes, the mangagement ring is here, and it looks like it could be here to stay.

So, put your best foot forward and join us as we take a right royal stroll down the aisle.
