All eyes were on Hollywood on Saturday for Kim Kardashian’s wedding to Kris Humphries.  The pair exchanged their vows in front of 440 guests at a private Montecito, CA estate. The event was truly a family affair with sisters Kourtney and Khloe serving as co-Maids of Honor and younger sisters Kendall and Kylie along with Humphries’ sister Kaela serving as bridesmaids.  Perhaps the biggest show stopper was when Kardashian’s 21 month old nephew, Mason, walked down the aisle as ring bearer.

The attire for all guests was strictly black tie with outfit options only in black and white.  Kardashian wore a custom made ivory Vera Wang gown with a full tulle skirt and lace appliqué on the bodice and train.  She completed her look with a diamond tiara, pair of diamond drop earrings and pair of Guiseppe Zanotti shoes.  The groom wore a custom black and white Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo.  The pair exchanged their vows and wedding bands in front of 440 guests at a private Montecito, CA estate.  When it came time to choosing wedding bands, Kardashian and Humphires went back to jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz.  Schwartz had created the 20 carat diamond engagement ring that Kris had presented Kim with back in May.  Among the star-studded guests included Ciara, Vera Wang, Demi Lovato, Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough, Alan Thicke, Brittny Gastineau, La La Vasquez and Carmelo Anthony and Ali, Dina and Lindsay Lohan.  Although there are a few months to wait until the E! two-part special, Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event in October, the world is sure to be watching.

Kim Kardashian Has Finally Found Her Prince Charming AND Her Perfect Engagement Ring

Courtesy of People.com

Over the years, Kim Kardashian has not been shy about admitting how much she wanted to be married with children.  Well Kim’s sisters were sure to do both before their sister.  Older sister Kourtney, had son Mason, with boyfriend Scott Disick and younger sister Khloe, married LA Laker forward, Lamar Odom after dating for only a short time.  Everyone, including Kim herself, thought that she would be wearing an engagement ring from longtime boyfriend, Reggie Bush, but the couple called it quits last year after dating for a number of years.  The E! reality star and mogul had briefly been married at age 19, when she ran off to Vegas and exchanged wedding bands and vows with music produces Damon Thomas.  After only a few years of being married, the couple called it quits and later divorced.

After her breakup from Bush, Kim moved to New York to focus on herself and help launch DASH Soho with sister Kourtney.  Upon moving to NY, Kardashian found herself at the center of swirling rumors that connected the reality star to everyone from Kanye West to Halle Berry’s ex, Gabriel Aubry.  Although she was seen out on the town having a great time at various NYC hotspots and enjoying her singlehood, Kardashian gave into her penchant for dating athletes and found herself cozy with NJ Nets forward, Kris Humphries.  After dating for only six months, Humphries decided that it was time to take Kardashian officially off the market with a surprise proposal last week at her Beverly Hills home.  Humphries had written “Will You Marry Me?” in red rose petals and was waiting on bended knee when she walked into her bedroom.  In complete surprise, Humphries then presented his bride-to-be with a 20.5 carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond engagement ring.  Keeping the celebrating going, Humphries had secretly planned a small celebration with Kardashian matriarch, Kris, so that they could share the news with Kim’s close family.  Although they have no wedding plans set yet, mom Kris is probably already hard at work to make the day an event to remember.  With such an over-the-top engagement ring, how are they going to find a wedding band to match?

Celebrity Style for Your Big Day

In this celebrity culture, we are all guilty of looking at celebrity lifestyles, and thinking: how can I incorporate that into my lifestyle? Whether a piece of clothing, a handbag, a pair shoes, a home furnishing or a piece of jewelry, celebrity style is a powerful inspiration for many. Celebrity weddings are a perfect example.

A wedding is one of the most glamorous and special days in someone’s life. Planning it, however, can be one of life’s most daunting tasks! The amount of preparation that it takes to pick the dress, the jewelry, the shoes, the tuxedo, the location, the cake, the meal, the guests and the band are some of the hardest decisions to make, thus, drawing inspiration from celebrities can make the decision process a tad bit easier.

When it comes to jewels, celebrity wedding styles are often synonymous with large price tags. While you may not be able to afford the exact piece, you can use the inspiration to choose your own precious Ritani pieces for a wedding that features something

When Khloe Kardashian married Lamar Odom in September of 2009, the lovebirds exchanged microapavé platinum rings at the altar. For those who like the style, Ritani offers the Eternity band is a platinum single row micropave’ ring ranging from $1,800 to $2,300.

On her wedding day, Kendra Wilkinson’s (a former Playboy playmate from the television series The Girls Next Door) sported over $100,000 in jewelry, most notably, her platinum drop earrings. Ritani’s Endless Love collection features gorgeous swing drop earrings containing round brilliant-cut bezel set diamonds surrounded by micropave’ diamonds. These earrings range from $3,500 to $4,850.

One of the most recent celebrities to tie the knot is one of the Real Housewives of NYC, Bethenny Frankel. Frankel’s engagement ring is a pear-shaped diamond cut ring. Want a taste of that pear? Ritani’s masterwork engagement ring features a oval cut centerstone and pear-shaped sidestones with micropave surroundings. The ring is valued between $7,150 and $8,370.

(Note: no matter the celebrity or the piece of jewelry, celebrities choose to wear platinum jewelry because platinum does not lose metal over time, which means that wedding jewelry isn’t only beautiful for the big day, but is an heirloom-worthy investment. Ritani offers many options in rings, necklaces and earrings in platinum.)

Khloe and Lamar’s wedding rings are similar to Ritani’s Eternity Wedding Band.

In Kardashian News……Khloé is Getting Married this Weekend!!!

Khloé and Lamar

Khloé and Lamar

Reality starlet Khloé Kardashian is engaged to NBA baller Lamar Odom, after a very short time dating.  Gossips on the net said they were seen picking out an engagement ring last week. This week, they made phone calls to invite friends and family to the wedding for Sunday Sept. 27, just in case the paper invites by mail was too slow!!

Apparently, Lamar has to go to training for the next NBA season, so they wanted to get hitched and go on their honeymoon beforehand.

Anywhoo, it seems the Kardashians are quite busy lately.  Kourtney is expecting her baby this December and Kim, well, is Kim.  Who knows what she is up to, but I find it interesting that the most desirable and eligible bachelorette of the family has broken off her engagement to Reggie Bush this year, while her younger sister is the one walking down the aisle.  Those Kardashian girls love their athletes!

Congratulations to Khloé and Lamar, and good luck trying to have a happy marriage while the cameras are rolling on ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’.
