Engaging Style - Moissanite

Don't want a diamond engagement ring? Behold! Moissanite - born of meteorite with more fire than a diamond. These unique engagement rings all feature a unique center stone - moissanite. Never considered any other stone besides a diamond? Moissanite makes a fabulous alternative to often over-priced diamonds.  It's a tough gem ranking in at 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamond is 10.0 and sapphire is 9.0) which means it's extremely resistant to scratches.  I invite you to open your mind to this beautiful stone.

Eloping the Old-y Fashioned-y Way! At the Courthouse!

I'm not talking as old fashioned as the groom crawling up a ladder to your bedroom in your parents castle and whisking you away in the dark of the night, I'm talking as simple and as old fashioned as just the two of you heading to the courthouse and tying the knot.  It's stress free.  You can dress up or dress down.  And best of all, it's budget friendly.  How could you not fall in love with this idea?

Check out this real elopement from Adam + Emily whose wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty.  These gorgeous shots were taken by Tana Photography.
