Stylish Pearl-inspired Wedding Themes and Ideas

Posted by

The warmer months of the year are typically the most popular time to get married. Chances are you’ll participate in a few weddings this summer as well – statistically, more couples get married in June than in any other month of the year (Assuming you are in the Northern hemisphere).

So now’s a great time to explore some particularly stylish wedding themes and ideas. Of course, we wouldn’t be called Pearls Only if all of these ideas didn’t revolve around pearls!

Trendy Wedding Themes

Pearls have been used in jewellery and decor for centuries, so just like silver or gold they can find their place in any wedding. However, some themes come with much more uses for pearls than others. We’ll have a more thorough look through all the ways of adding an extra layer of subtle elegance to a wedding later on, but let’s begin with a few fashionable wedding themes which just cry for the inclusion of pearls. read more

“I love that some people got it and some people didn’t,” Jay- Z’s stylist, June Ambrose, told Pagesix.com this week. There were several dresses that made is feel like we had just received access into an emperor’s abode where he held a festive event that was meant for only the elite. It was phenomenal. There were also those that made us wonder how they received an invitation. read more

Marriage Proposals Around the World: Traditions and Trends

Posted by

In the 1800’s, a gentleman who desired to propose to a lady sent her a pair of gloves signifying his intentions. Then he had to wait until the following Sunday to see if the lady wore these gloves to church. If she did, the proposal was considered to be accepted and further arrangements could be made.

In Wales, the gloves were substituted with a wooden spoon carved by a man looking to propose. If his loved one accepted the wedding proposal (and liked the spoon), she showed it by wearing the piece of cutlery on a ribbon around her neck. read more

The Most Controversial Lady in Pearls for 2014: Kim Kardashian for Paper Magazines

Posted by

If there is anything that we all can agree on when it comes to the Keeping Up with the Kardashians Reality TV star is that she is very famous. We may argue about how she became famous, but it does not take away from the fact that she is known in homes far and wide; and she has a derriere that could cause an eclipse.

So it should have come to no one’s surprise when the wife of Kanye West promised that she would break the internet. On November 11, 2014, Paper Magazine revealed the cover image for the magazine that had people talking about Kim from Earth to the Milky ways.

There was also a second cover in which Kim was wearing the same pearls and the dress was now actually being worn on her body but her posterior gave a new meaning to the concept of bottoms up as she popped the cork to her bottle of champagne. read more
