Diamonds, Crystals or Ice?

In our last post, we discussed a winter themed wedding called "ice".  Winter themed or not, using crystals as diamonds or "ice" create a classy romantic setting for the perfect wedding!  Everything seems to dance in the sparkling light of crystals, reflecting the way your heart feels on your special day. 

What brings us back to this "theme"?  While browsing vendors we came across some beautiful pictures of a wedding in Savannah, Georgia.  While we placed a crystal tree in our last post, this florist took the crystal tree to a new level that is absolutely beautiful!

Winter Weddings

While it seems most people prefer summer weddings, here in Georgia it is a bit HOT!  I don't believe any beautiful bride wants to be glistening with sweat on their wedding day.  Spring, fall and maybe even a winter wedding would fit the bill rather than the hot, humid days of summer in the south.

There is an amazing amount of themes a couple can use for their winter wedding but "ICE" is a great one!  Why?  Well ice is typically associated with winter but ice is also a word used to refer to DIAMONDS! 

"Real diamonds are able to conduct heat and are actually one of the best conductors of heat. Even as a diamond heats up, it is cool to the touch, much like ice. Once this ability was discovered, diamonds were quickly identified as “ice” and heat conductivity quickly began a way to determine whether or not a diamond was real.  What this means is that the diamond is not naturally at a lower temperature, but that they pull the heat away from the other objects. Therefore, if you touch the diamond to something hot, it will extract or absorb the heat and disperse it within the diamond. One test that an individual can conduct is to touch their diamond to their body and see if it feels cool. If you are looking for an easy area to make the determination, your face or lips is often of the easiest place to conduct the test.

Although the diamond initially feels warm as you put it to your lips, you will quickly notice that the diamond will feel as cold as ice. This ice-cold feeling is caused not because of the lower temperature in the diamond, but because the diamonds take the heat from your lips. No matter how big or small your diamond is this reaction will occur. However, for smaller diamonds, it may take them longer before you feel the coolness. Still, it does not matter how many times you conduct this test with your diamonds, the results will be the same". ~ Abazias Diamonds

Diamonds are a girls bestfriend, right! Maybe, maybe not but since diamonds are normally associated with weddings in the form of a wedding ring why not expand this to an ICE theme wedding?

A Love For Vintage

"Vintage" themes or elements give an aura of romance to weddings found only in eras gone by!  When we think vintage and romance, we think...

Bogie and BaCall sailing away to Key Largo
or
Casablanca and "Here's Looking at You Kid"...

Although "vintage" has a technical term, all of us have images that come to mind when we hear the word just as we go back in time to a slower pace with ole Bogie.  Are our images right?  Do they truly reflect vintage or are they media enhanced versions of the real deal? 

In our pursuit of the perfect vintage wedding we ran across this amazing article from The Ladies Home Journal written back in 1894!  Any glorious bride interested in a vintage theme or adding truly vintage elements to her beautiful day should take a few moments to read this article.
