Mark Schneider Secret Heart Rings


Jewelry designer Mark Schneider's designs are a step away from the traditional. Schneider creates both diamond bridal jewelry and unique dramatic pieces that incorporate colorful gemstones. Schneider believes in letting the stones "talk to him" before he creates a design.

The engagement rings from Mark Schneider Designs have a unique feature. Each design in the collection features a Secret Heart, small yellow or white gold heart at the base of the ring set with a tiny diamond inscribed with a message that says "Love you Forever." The styles range from traditional to more contemporary and each features smaller diamonds set along the sides of the ring. All of the rings can be made in either platinum or gold and set with center stones in a variety of sizes. The gallery below features a few of Schneider's bridal designs as well as some of his award-winning gemstone creations.

Disney Launching Bridal Line

They say that every little girl wants to be a princess when she grows up, and whether that is true or not, there is one industry that is practically based around the theory: the bridal industry. Disney has long been part of making dreams come true for kids and kids at heart and already does a booming wedding trade by holding receptions (2,000 or so a year) at their parks, but the company responsible for the creation of some of the ultimate fairy tale princesses, has decided to branch out even further. The will be releasing a line of Disney princess-inspired wedding dresses this year.

It would be hard not to feel like a princess in a Vera Wang gown, but if you want to look like Cinderella at the ball, now you can. Perhaps Scarlett Johanssen will lend you the glass slippers from Annie Leibovitz's latest Disney shoot for the occasion.

Along with the makeup, there is a set of brushes designed to result in the most professional application possible. Price: $514.

Landry wears Lhuillier at Wedding

While the waists for summer sundresses are coming up to the bust line, the waists of wedding dresses are dropping. Ali Landry, at her wedding to Alejandro Monteverde in Mexico on Saturday, wore a strapless Monique Lhuillier gown with a low, drop-waist. The ivory gown had a full skirt with hand-sewn layers of organza, tulle and chiffon, similar to this one from the Spring 2006 runway collection. Drop-waisted dresses are not for everyone, as their curve-skimming lines are not flattering on every figure. They are perfect for curvy silhouettes and the slim, curvaceous Landry would have looked stunning in one. Wedding gowns by Lhuillier retail for upwards of $3,500, but the runway and custom models can go for much more.
