Use colorful invitations

Color the table

When planning a colorful wedding, every piece of furniture counts.

Color your tables with brightly colored linens, tablecloths, and napkins. Consider using colorful cups and plates. Have every piece on your tables bring in some color and your venue would be looking like a peaceful home of exciting colors in no time.

 

Serve colored drinks and food items

Again, every element matters. If you’re gunning for a colorful wedding, your wedding cake doesn’t have to be plain. You should have your cake made in fun colors. An alternative way to splash color on a plain cake is to have colorful fruits and flowers around it.

The conventional look for weddings in most cities remains the traditional white wedding dress and tuxedo. However, many couples have defiled this norm and established a new trend of denim-themed weddings. This article is designed to answer frequently asked questions on Denim and Weddings…

Endless options

Denim provides endless options of styles and a wide range of possibilities. Available in different styles and colors, you have numerous options to pick from for your big day.

 

Durability

Denim is a long-lasting fabric. Originally designed as fabrics for work clothes, they could sometimes last for up to a decade. This means that you can wear your dress time and time again after your wedding making it a great investment. It is the only fabric that offers this much durability.

 

Style

From faded to very deep colors, denim is available across different saturations. So, you can select a shade you prefer. Denim can be carefully tailored to include detailed embroidery designs and prints. So whether you want the “simple and classy” look or you aim for the “bold and beautiful” trend, it’s great for both.

 

Comfortable

Not only is denim durable but it is also a comfortable material. With the wide variety of brands, it is easy to find comfortable jeans. You could also have your outfits custom-made for you.

 

Easy to maintain

Unlike other fabrics that require consistent washing and delicate care, denim is much easier to maintain. Denim is the least difficult of clothing materials to maintain though the attention required might vary depending on your dress.

 

Wrinkle resistant

While you want to look great at your wedding, you don’t want to spend ages on laundry and ironing. Not only is the denim durable but it is also wrinkle resistant. So, you don’t have to worry about ironing after every wash.

A perfect diamond piece should be pure, bright, with a clean history that cannot be questioned from origin to acquisition. If you were only familiar with the Natural diamond up until now, behold – for this is the day you’d meet its perfect alternative – the Lab created diamonds.

Lab Created Diamonds

 

As their name suggests, Lab Created Diamonds are manufactured in laboratories under conditions that perfectly mimic the natural diamond-forming process. Lab Grown Diamonds have similar physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. In fact, even industry experts can’t tell them apart without the aid of special equipment that scans for crystal patterns and impurities.  They are technically natural diamonds without impurities, environmental degradation, and uncertainties. There are numerous reasons why lab made diamonds are a suitable replacement for natural diamonds. Here are a few of them:

 

Greater purity and improved quality

Say hello to the brighter twin!

Lab Grown Diamonds are purer than their natural counterparts due to the absence of impurities and dirt found in mined diamonds. They also have fewer blemishes since they were carefully prepared under favorable conditions. Hence, they are brighter and better than mined diamonds. Lab engineered diamonds are certified, giving you important information on Cut, Clarity, Carat Weight, and more.

Guaranteed Origins

Often, a detailed journey path cannot be drawn for mined diamonds as the specific origin can be vague. We at Camellia Jewelry use only with conflict-free diamonds, but unfortunately, while shopping elsewhere, some diamonds have dark backgrounds, coming from conflict regions where they’ve been sold to fund war and promote chaos. But, the journey of lab-created diamonds from origin to acquisition can be known. Therefore, the only way to ascertain the origin of your diamonds is to purchase synthetic diamonds.

 

Affordable Diamond Jewelry

Lab made diamonds are not only purer than their natural counterparts but are also more affordable. Costing less than half the price of mined diamonds, they also come in a variety of natural-diamond colors, such as pink! This means you can really buy the ring of your dreams without having to compromise on the budget.

 

Environmentally-Friendly

Mining natural diamonds can damage the earth extensively. Diamond mines are some of the largest holes ever dug in the earth as enormous amounts of fossil fuels with heavy machinery are required to extract the gemstones. The Mirny Diamond Mine, the second largest hole in the earth, is almost a mile wide in diameter and about 525 meters deep. Lab diamonds, on the other hand, present none of these issues. With man-made diamonds, you could rock your diamond pieces and have Mother Nature smiling at you all day for conserving her resources.

 

With CVD diamonds, you can never go wrong. You have a natural diamond in its purer, brighter, Eco-friendly, and sustainable form for less than half its price. Synthetic diamonds are a girl’s better friends!

Let’s start by saying this – They Do. If you are considering buying a black diamond engagement ring, no doubt you are buying it for a unique, exclusive individual. 

We can all agree that choosing a dark, stand out, powerful stone as a black diamond for your engagement ring, is bound to get lots of attention. The shine and sparkle of a black diamond in a bright setting will create a one-of-a-kind treasured piece of jewel, one that reflects your one-of-a-kind stunning love story.

If you remember Sex and The City 2, Mr. when Mr. Big finally presents Carrie with an engagement ring, (a proposal years in the making), the jewel was a black diamond engagement ring. He said “because you are not like anyone else” as he gave her a 5-carat black diamond set in a white diamond and 18K white gold ring.

Same as the diamonds we know, black diamonds are also formed by high pressure on carbon elements, under the earth’s surface, which produce a pattern over the crystal. These diamonds have the same chemical composition as other diamonds, but the graphite unique inclusions and random clustering throughout the diamond cause the dark color. Other color diamonds receive their color from geological impurities such as nitrogen, hydrogen, and boron.  Other color diamonds are found in a variety of color intensities, while the black, white, and red diamonds come only in one frosty color intensity.

 

 

There are 2 kinds of black diamonds- diamonds that develop their dark color during their formation, and diamonds that are enhanced (heated) to reach that black dark color.  Surprisingly, Black diamonds are more affordable than other white or colored diamonds, since they are less in demand, even though they are not as easily found as other color diamonds.
