Choosing Your Engagement Ring Style

If you’re searching for an engagement ring, the number of style options that exist can be overwhelming. Before you go shopping, make sure you have a general style in mind. To help you better identify which style is right for you, we have outlined 4 looks for your ring finger!

Vintage

Vintage rings are all about paying homage to the classic lines and ornate intricacies of jewelry from generations’ past. Whether you’re interested in finding an Art Deco ring or something that screams Old Hollywood, the vintage look is always a great go-to style.

Colorful

Adding pops of sapphire, emerald, or even a rose gold band, is an easy way to give your engagement ring an oomph of personal style and flare. We are loving the use of yellow diamonds and rose gold below:

Classic

Never failing to amaze, the clean lines and simple pop and sparkle of the classic style are always sure to wow. The downside of this style, of course, is it’s popularity. However, a classic engagement ring is popular for a reason!

Unique

Sometimes different colors aren’t enough to woo your fancy. If you’re looking for an engagement ring that truly stands out, try finding an intricate band or creative setting.

Timeless Rooftop Wedding in NYC

September 3, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

Overlooking the iconic cityscape of New York, Jan and Nam’s timeless rooftop wedding was a stylish celebration that incorporated both modern and classic elements. Vibrant pops of yellow and pink alongside vintage-inspired furniture and unique bridal party fashion made for a chic and romantic day, all captured by Sean Flanigan.

The Couple: Jan and Nam

The Wedding: 620 Loft & Garden, New York, NY

The Inspiration: We wanted to create a more “casual” feel to the wedding because the venue itself is breathtaking and also formal. This meant adding in a more rustic feel with vintage furniture and some bright colours from the flowers. The majority of our guests including Nam and I are from Australia, so we tried to include elements of NYC into the wedding such as providing caricature drawers as gifts for our guests.
