His Wedding Ring
Here is his band, tungsten. Ordered with the promo code at JVL Jewelers so essentially FREE with $25 "shipping and handling" fee. It arrived and he LOVES it.
My E-Ring
Wedding Ring
Originally, I purchased a low dome comfort fit white gold ring from Blue Nile. It went very well with my ring. It was stolen when our house was broken into in December.
On a whim we stopped into a local family owned jewelry store to check out the selection. They did not have anything similar to what I had purchased before but after he saw my engagement ring he suggested I might like to look through some older estate sale rings that they had in the back. He brought out a little contained with a bunch of old rings. We found a basic yet detailed 18k wedding band that will work perfectly with my ring, they don't "match" but I love them together. I also love that the ring has history, its engraved by the prior owner "R to E" in script, I have no idea how old it is but I would guess 1930s maybe? The best part -- its price is only its weight value in gold so it was only $90. Gotta love unexpected surprises!

It doesn't "match" in the traditional sense but I love it.
Bouquet Inspiration
I like the idea of having each bridesmaid have a certain type of white flower for the bulk of their bouquet (their favorite) and then encorporate them all into my bouquet. I ordered a bouquet charm with a picture of my grandpa on etsy. Also ordered bouquet wraps like this picture.
Cake
Due to the layout of our reception venu (lack of tables and limited seating), we will most likely have a cupcake tower with small cake for us to cut at the top. We are ordering from Retro Bakery. Here is an example of a tower. Inspiration for our 8 inch cake below.
Bridesmaid Gifts - Custom Clutches & Necklaces
I ordered black clutches on Etsy (Seller is eclu). Each will have their own print inside to distinguish from eachother as well as their name and personal message from me sewn inside. I will fill them with other gifts they like based on their interests and favorites. I also ordered custom made sterling silver necklaces on Etsy (seller is k&simpressions). They have the four leaf clover to match my garter charm and an initial charm.

Good Luck
My ceremony package comes with a garter. I plan to add this sterling silver charm for luck to give a little Vegas flair.
