Can my wedding ring feature coloured stones?
Hi, I am looking to choose a blue stone/diamond ring for my wedding band. But my engagment ring is 3 emerald cut diamonds, one big in the middle and a smaller one on either side. (No colour) Does this matter, or should I not go for the colour?
The beauty of diamonds is that, while they sparkle and shine, they are in most instances without colour. And in that sense they team beautifully with every shade under the rainbow. This opens the door for you to team your diamond engagement ring with a wedding ring featuring stones of any hue you like. In any case, your wedding band…

How Do I Include My Fiance?
It can be frustrating when your fiance isn’t as interested in and excited about planning the wedding as you are — you may be feeling disappointed, because as you say, it’s your wedding, with “your” in the plural! You don’t mention how he’s being unhelpful — does he just not care what colour the flowers…

How to Handle Two Receptions?
