A BACHENDORF' S WEDDING FEATURE
THE RING When Travis proposed in Aspen, he had already spent months designing the perfect ring with Bock Jewelry Co., the family-owned private showroom and manufacturing arm of Bachendorf’s. The custom emerald cut diamond, flanked by two supporting stones, was a deliberate choice. “I chose the emerald cut because it is timeless and never goes out of style, just like her,” he says. The experience set the tone for everything that followed. When it came time to select their wedding bands and curate MaryEllen’s bridal jewelry, the couple turned to Bachendorf’s without hesitation. “Following this experience,” Travis says, “I didn’t consider anywhere else.” THE JEWELRY For the wedding bands, the couple chose two each: one to honor their private church ceremony and another for the Lake Como celebration.

At the welcome soirée the evening prior, an emerald bracelet complemented her bold custom Oscar de la Renta peony mosaic dress, which represented MaryEllen’s favorite flower and foreshadowed the floral immersion that would envelop every corner of the wedding.
“Collaborating with MaryEllen was a masterclass in the intersection of high-fashion silhouette and heritage storytelling. To balance the ‘Baroque glamour’ of her custom Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda gowns, we looked to the Bachendorf’s archives for pieces that carried a similar sense of history and scale. The reception demanded a true ‘moment’ — a final, brushstroke on a living masterpiece.” —MILES PARKER, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING, BACHENDORF’S
