David Yurman Bridal Collection

A classic diamond can still be modern. If you’re not the simple solitaire type, turn to the creators of your favorite fashionable baubles for a little razzle dazzle.

David Yurman recently introduced a collection of 10 diamond engagement rings featuring the designer’s signature iconic cable and crossover bands. Contemporary round and oval cuts, set in platinum or 18k yellow gold, pair perfectly with classically understated wedding bands in cable, chain or smooth patterns. To really make a splash check out Yurman’s new signature piece, an exclusive cushion-cut diamond available in all of the ring styles. Add a hopelessly romantic bridal necklace or earrings inspired by dazzling gemstones to flawlessly complete your bejeweled wedding-day look.

It’s a ring thing.

Loeffler Randall’s New Bridal Shoe Collection

While your wedding dress will surely cover your shoes, you still want to take your first steps as a married woman in style. Loeffler Randall reveals its new bridal collection featuring six sophisticated yet simple styles for spring.

For a chic seaside wedding, slip into a flat T-strap satin sandal with a graceful tulle ruffle, or the twisted mignon flat in silver metallic leather. Add a vintage vibe to your ensemble with a lace satin and mesh tie-up bootie, or keep it classic with a criss-cross stiletto in satin or metallic snakeskin.

Pieces of Flair

Shopbop’s New Online Wedding Boutique

You’ve picked up a “something borrowed” from your best friend and a “something old” from your favorite thrift shop, but you’d like “something new” in the form of a few fabulous wedding-day accessories.

Shopbop.com just launched its wedding boutique, featuring dresses by the designers you’d love to be on your guest list. Try walking down the aisle in a beaded maxi strapless dress by Shoshanna or a one-shoulder column gown by Notte by Marchesa, with bridesmaids in silk satin sarongs by Halston Heritage. But for those who’d rather find their couture in the real world, the point-and-click shopping doesn’t stop with frocks. You can also stock up for the honeymoon with a D&G bikini, Tory Burch beach tote, Alexis Bittar gold cuff, Eberjay chemise or Eugenia Kim fedora. Rather than searching high and low for the perfect bridal accessories, the site has all the must-haves in one place: If the tiaras and beaded purses at the bridal salon scared you, check out the bohemian-chic crystal headbands by Deepa Gurnani and Lauren Merkin snake clutches.

Not that you’re into labels.

We Glove You

Wills & Kate Gloves by Donna Wilson

Any 2011 wedding faces tough competition from the likes of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The royal couple’s got a monopoly on monarchy-based romance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a touch of Queen-approved style.

Practice your bridal wave this winter in Donna Wilson’s cheeky camel lambswool Wills and Kate gloves. Complete with an engagement ring on the left hand (labeled “Kate,” of course), they’re the perfect accessory to keep you warm as you bustle about on pre-wedding appointments.

Fancy that.
