We Love: Peter Som for BHLDN

So many things we love this week, mostly wedding-related links and Academy Awards fun. Enjoy, and have a beautiful weekend!

So gorgeous! BHLDN is making Peter Som wedding gowns! Click through our slideshow above for the first 2 looks!

These dresses from the RED Valentino fall-winter collection would make the most legendary, high fashion bridesmaids ever. Via 79 ideas.

Got 6 minutes for a sweet, Oscar-nominated romcom?

Years ago, we read in the NY Times that the secret to hangover-free celebrations is cocktails that combine clear spirits with a vitamin C mixer. It works! For an Oscar night signature cocktail, we want to try this. (It’s bright and beautiful for a spring wedding, too.)

Ever watch wedding dances on YouTube? We do. This one’s a classic. So much love.

How cool is this? Fair trade site 7 Hopes United now has a gift registry.

Want to go somewhere totally different for your honeymoon? Prague looks like a photographer’s paradise.

And here’s every single item we’d want for the trousseau on Stripes & Sequins. The perfect little collection to make a bride feel beautiful.

Thanks to Forbes Magazine for mentioning us!  They picked 22 jewelry designs for 2013, including our Tilly Engagement Ring!

David Cooper & Cycle for Survival

We’re proud to announce that there’s a front page feature in the Centurion newsletter about the ambitious and heartfelt charity work of our president David Cooper!

It’s great for our jewelry industry colleagues to discover what we’ve known all along: David has been a tireless supporter of the fight against cancer for years, raising over $35,000 so far, and inspiring others to get involved.

As a Cycle for Survival leader, David will engage 100 cyclists in a fundraiser that gives 100% to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centers. The money funds research and treatments for rare cancers, and most cancers that effect children.

“It’s a massive event, tremendously powerful and emotional,” he told The Centurion.

The event is February 2, so David will hop off his bike and onto a plane for Centurion the same day. Click here to learn more about Cycle For Survival, and here for David Cooper’s personal page where you can read about the charity, donate, or sign up to ride.
