ENGAGING PERSONALITIES

Romantic The romantic bride takes the sentiment inherent in all weddings to a whole new level. Romance lives in the details: the notes of a par- ticular love song heralding the bride’s entrance, references to the couple’s milestones in the table décor, or personalized vows that will make even the most stoic groomsman sniffle. The gown will likely involve lace, beading, embroidery, or all three. As for the décor and venue? Think Bridgerton meets Disney princess. Everything will be soft and lush, with cascading florals in pink or purple and plenty of candles. It will be held at an old manor house or a hotel that feels like a castle (or an actual castle, if bud- get allows). There will absolutely be a guestbook, and friends and family shouldn’t hesitate to leave their most heartfelt messages. At the end of the evening, the couple might depart in a classic car and drive off into the starry night. Whimsical rings will win the romantic bride’s heart. Look for delicate embellishments, like filigree, halo details, and milgrain, as well as designs that carry symbolic meaning, like the classic three-stone ring for past, present, and future. This couple will love the idea of engraving a secret message for each other inside their rings—and if the groom is smart, he’ll pick up a wedding day jewel- ry surprise to delight his romantic bride on the big day.
