Offbeat Brides make their own customized Mixbooks and LOVE IT

Every once in awhile I find myself at a party and someone whips out a scrapbook that they’ve spent hours and hours making, and I’m always taken aback by how awesome it looks… and how I really don’t want to do that much work. You don’t have to be a scrapbooking junkie to get a customized album for your wedding photos. We teamed up with our sponsor Mixbook to give some of our featured couples (like Trisha and Matthew above!) the opportunity to take their photos and make an album online.

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!

Crazy impressive and one-of-a-kind artistic wedding rings

I am crazy impressed with Wexford Jewelers. Impressed is an odd word to describe my reaction to our newest jewelry sponsor, I know. But the thing is, I work for a wedding blog, I see a LOT of jewelry — and I have NEVER seen anything like Wexford Jewelers designs.

Wanna feel impressed along with me? You will be when you see more of their designs and the special offer they have waiting for you at the end. Ooh, and you’ll get a gander at the most badass BLACK wedding set that is really tempting my pocket book something fierce.
