From London to Manila - it's wedding season

MANILA, Philippines - The wedding fever has spread from London to Manila. Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding on April 29 seems to be on everyone’s lips, including their wedding cake, gown and the jewels that Kate will wear on that special day.

For brides that are set to be married during the marry month of June or the marryer month of December, your wedding may not be as grand as the royal wedding, but you could just as easily get caught up in the wedding arrangements, the luscious cake, the beautiful bridesmaid dresses and the lovely flowers.

The jewelry you will wear on your wedding day is extremely important. Bridal jewelry should complement your wedding gown. You can choose to wear a family heirloom or if you wish to wear your own jewelry, you can finally purchase that fabulous necklace you’ve been eyeing for sometime now.

Your wedding rings should last a lifetime and even a few generations more. Your jewelry and your rings are the only ones you will wear long after the last wedding gift has been opened and your “Thank You” cards are all sent out.
