Protecting Your Engagement Ring

After calling your parents and best buds to share the exciting news of your engagement, make sure to call your insurance company. Put your ring on your homeowner's policy as soon as possible in case something happens to it. Your fiance should have a certificate of appraisal so you know what rate to insure it at. And don't forget to renew the policy every year. Thanks to Brides.com for the advice!

For the Love of Lavendar

Once you select your color, you can run the theme through and through. Note the various shades of plum, even some pink to bring depth and dimension to the bouquets.

Dressing the Bouquet

Fabric Square-End How-To
1. Arrange bouquet; wrap and tape stems together. Center the stems on a piece of fabric; cut material so it extends 3 inches on either side of stems and 2 inches below bottoms. Fold the bottom of fabric up over stem ends.

2. Slide bouquet to one end of the fabric. Wrap stems, continuing along the length of material; fold edge under; secure with decorative pins. To complete the look, use a coordinating ribbon to tie a bow at the base of the blooms.
