Our 5 favorite customized engagement rings
Recently, we were asked to select our favorite rings in a curated collection of hand-picked awesomeness. I had to spend some serious time to whittle the list down. One thing to know about offbeat sponsor Gemvara is that customization is king. We know a lot of you want your engagement rings to be interesting and have access to lots of metal and gemstone options. It’s not all about the diamonds!

Show off your fancy footwork with barefoot sandals
Ever since I saw the handmade barefoot sandals from Ashley and Oliver’s wedding on the dunes, they kept creeping around my brain. Ashley and her bridesmaids used them for easy walking on the beach during the ceremony, which makes total sense.

I had to investigate what was out there and if these can be easily DIYed.
A sun-filled same-sex Jewish wedding with an eco-friendly mindset
