After reviewing all of my DVR'd Royal Wedding footage, and gawking at all the fascinators, I went on theknot.com and saw a "steal-worthy ideas" from the wedding.
At first, I was hesitant. Of course I don't have the budget or the glamour that the royal family and the English social scene has. But I thought, "what the heck," and took a peak anyway.
After the slides about the "all white flowers" and the "dresses with sleeves" I began to get a little underwhelmed. Then, lo and behold... something I could actually use; the beautiful sapphire engagement ring!
Throughout all the wedding planning, I had completely forgot about the custom of, "Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue." But thanks to Will and Kate, I had an idea to use a sapphire ring for my something blue.
Luckily for me, my sapphire ring is more than just a piece of jewelry. For our 3 year anniversary (our first anniversary since moving in together) FH got me a cushion-cut sapphire ring with filigree detail. I felt like a princess after he gave me this ring and now I get to act like the Duchess of Cambridge and wear a sapphire ring on my wedding day.
Thanks Kate!
