Engagement Season Advice from NWA’s Wedding Expert Amanda Reed

Photo credit: Max Grubb for Miles Witt Boyer Photographic Collective

‘Tis the season—engagement season, that is. For those in the wedding industry, the officially unofficial season when a large percentage of couples become engaged begins on Thanksgiving, lasts through the holidays and ends with a bang on Valentine’s Day. And the calls start once couples realize they don’t want to do this alone (or have the time to tackle it on their own). . .

“Between Christmas Eve and mid-February, I will get several inquiries per day and sometimes I’m seeing dozens of proposals a day on my social media feeds,” says wedding planner Amanda Reed, of Amanda Reed Weddings.

To help all the lovebirds out there feeling overwhelmed by the task of setting a date and planning a wedding, Amanda shares her engagement season advice with us, below.

Photo credit: Max Grubb for Miles Witt Boyer Photography Collective

Yes, take your time celebrating and enjoying your engagement, but before long the questions will start to roll in. . .What are your colors? Have you picked a date? Is your third cousin twice removed in your house party? How many carats is that ring (yes, they will SO ask that)?!? Here’s how to get started on the zillion decisions you have to make while wedding planning.

Set a budget. At least a starter budget. Having a clear idea of the amount of money you want to spend on your wedding will be important from the jump. The number of guests you can truly afford hinges on this number. Caterers charge per person, after all — and chairs, tablecloths, flowers — all those things have exponential costs. We preach daily to clients that the single easiest way to save money is to cut that guest list! Know how much you can spend, and then work backwards.

Start pinning. Everybody’s had a dream-wedding Pinterest board for as long as they can remember. Curate what you’ve already pinned and create a board you can bring to meetings with your vendors. We love to see our brides’ boards before we get started with the planning. Now’s the time to get it right. Delete those fairy dresses you pinned when you were 16, and if you’re not feeling the beach vibe, it’s okay to delete the seashell place card photos too. Focus on what you want now, and happy pinning!

Get that bling insured. Your fiancé just spent a big chunk of change on that gorgeous ring, so let’s make sure you take good care of it. Your insurance agent will have all the details for adding the ring to your policy, so give them a call. And while we’re talking about rings, we always send couples to Blakeman’s for their bands. Their selection of men’s bands is classic (We’re a little partial to the David Yurman choices, personally!).

Your bridesmaids will be there for you through one of the most exciting and important times of your life. Amanda is seeing more and more brides take the time to really make bridal party requests extra special. It makes the day that much more memorable! Photo credit: Meredith Benton Photography.

Propose to your wedding party. Maybe he got to have all the fun planning his proposal, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have the chance to get down on one knee, too! So many brides and grooms are posting the most picture-perfect wedding party proposals all over Instagram these days. We love simple proposals where the bride gifts her friends with a nicely packaged box full of adorable gifts like a pretty lipstick and nail polish, a little bottle of champagne and a handwritten note. Locally, Shindig Paperie has beautiful boxes and stationery for this. (While you’re there, you’ll want some extra stationery for all the thank you cards you’ll be writing this year!) Riffraff also has a killer selection of bridesmaids gifts and tees!

Set a realistic timeline. You may have to swap a season to get the right timeline, or swap a venue to get the right season. Your first choice photographer may not be available on the same date as your first choice band. Some venues book a year to 18 months out. Think about what’s most important to you and where you are willing to compromise before you start to meet with vendors. You can always consider alternate days of the week. Fridays are popular and we love an old-fashioned Sunday brunch wedding.

Start shopping for that dress. Wedding gowns can take a lot longer to get in than you may think, so it’s never too early to try them on! Plus, right now is a great time for sample sales. A lot of boutiques will have holiday sales, too. We have wonderful wedding gown shops locally like Tesori and Joon Bridal. For the guys, we’re seeing custom suiting more than tuxedos, which is fantastic because the groom can keep wearing it after the big day — often, it’s his first legit suit. Walker Brothers is a fantastic local place to shop for custom suiting.

Just look at this gorgeous Oscar de la Renta dress waiting for its big day. Amanda recommends ordering your wedding dress early in the planning process to ensure there is time to get the fit just perfect. Photo credit: The Montoya Collective

Make a fitness plan. You want to look good in that dress? We have many brides who start with Pure Barre Fayetteville (and also the newly opened studio at Pinnacle Hills!) the moment they get a ring so that they can really focus on toning and shaping up for their big day. We also love the facial packages at Premier Dermatology to get that blushing bridal glow.

Plan for the marriage. Where else to begin than with the honeymoon, naturally? Global luxury travel advisor Michele MacDonald of The Core Traveler can really help with all the details if you want to do something exquisite. She has planned some out-of-this-world honeymoons for our clients, and will even go above and beyond to include mementos from wedding days, gifts from parents and friends and other really romantic and special details into the perfect honeymoon for just the two of you.

Look before you leap! We’ve seen so many couples get so excited after getting engaged that they immediately start signing contracts, writing checks and running cards just because they think they have to...and then experience the worst buyer’s remorse! Take a breath, find your focus, and then you can start making choices.

How perfect is this elaborate engagement scene? We love it! Photo credit: Lauren Blair Photography

Finding an expert with years of experience and connections within the wedding realm can really help you sort through your options, and find the best fit within each wedding vendor category. Follow Amanda’s expert advice and get glimpses of weddings she’s planned here and book a consultation to get her personalized insight. . .you’ll head into wedding season with your best bridal foot forward!

Yellow Diamond Rings That Feel Like Sunshine on Your Hand

If you’re the type of bride who’s searching for engagement rings in Fayetteville, AR that are vibrant, fancy, and exceptional, then yellow diamond rings are the ideal choice for you. Yellow diamonds offer a stunning shade that ranges from pastel yellow to intense yellow.

This yellow diamond easily stands out in a sea of white diamonds.The more intense the shade, the higher the value of the diamond.

Reasons to invest in yellow diamonds

A lot of brides tend to prefer yellow diamond custom jewelry in Fayetteville, AR as they offer you a ton of brilliance and shine. If you love brilliant stones, then your yellow diamond will sparkle so much more than your white diamond ring.

Yellow diamonds are highly versatile and can easily pair with a range of cuts, settings, and styles to suit your needs. Most brides tend to pair their yellow diamond center stone with platinum or yellow gold bands.

Since yellow diamonds are quite rare, they can be tough to find. Always look for a trusted and professional jewelry repair in Fayetteville, AR that can offer you some high-quality stones with a nice intense shade and a high-quality.

For yellow diamonds, it’s always better to go with a cushion or radiantcut as it balances the facets of the diamond and offers the brightest possible shine.

Keep in mind that the metal you choose can affect the shade of your stone. Warmer metals like yellow gold and rose gold will intensify the yellow shade while cooler metals like white gold and platinum will bring out the pastel hues of the stone.

Some brides even choose to set their yellow diamond center stone with smaller white diamond side stones for an added shine and shimmer.

Make sure to avoid exposing your diamond to any harmful chemicals, abrasives, and detergents as it can ruin the shine of your stone and corrode the metal band.

The Takeaway

Yellow diamonds are still diamonds and so they rate a tough 10 on the Mohs scale. This makes them resilient, durable, and ideal for daily wear. This means that your diamond will truly stand the test of time. This makes it ideal for active and outgoing brides who work a lot with their hands.

Yellow diamonds can be affordable in lighter shades. However, this changes when dealing with diamonds with a more intense finish.

( National Jeweler ) - Take off the New Year's tinsel, it's over.

The festive season of 2016 officially ended, leaving at least 11 jewelers, extremely pleased with the results.

Retailers who talked to National Jeweler on Tuesday last week spoke of less resistance to prices, a decrease in the number of indecisive buyers and a large volume of sales of diamonds.

Read about this further and compare the results of your own holiday season with the results of jewelers in your region.

Northeast: "Ready to spend money"

Roberto Chiappelloni of Manfredi Jewels in Greenwich, Connecticut, said that although the number of buyers this year was slightly lower, sales increased slightly when compared to the festive season last year.

"Everything somehow broke free almost immediately after the elections," he told National Jeweler, once again repeating what many jewelers said. Many consumers, regardless of their attitude towards the results, were glad that it was over.

This dynamic seems to have survived throughout the season, and the store saw that "people are willing to spend money."

Great buying activity continued until Christmas Eve, which also coincided with the beginning of Hanukkah, and it lasted all next week, as many people came to exchange their gifts or buy something better in return.

"I have a great impression of this season," said Chiappelloni.

Daniel Niebauer (Daniel Niebauer) said that both the sales volume and the number of customers increased from Ralph Miller Jewelers & Gallery in Erie, Pennsylvania. He also said that the buyers, it seems, were happy to go shopping again.

"It was the best year in the past about four years," he said.

For Ralph Miller (Ralph Miller) the most active this season was the time immediately after Thanksgiving and the first week of December.

Niebauer said that the business slowed slightly towards the end of the season, he believes, because Christmas Eve fell by the end of the week.

All the same, the week between Christmas and New Year was good for the retailer, who performs many jewelry on order, as buyers came to repair the products or change the size.

He said that this year the buyers sought to acquire what they like for appearance, not what they like at a price, and also returned from 925 silver to precious metals, even yellow gold.

"This year we sold several fine large items, from diamond rings to large diamond earrings," he said.

Southeast: Less sales of expensive items For the Tiny Jewel Box in Washington, DC, December was not as good as last year, but it was not surprising for a family that owns a retailer.

Chairman of the Board Jim Rosenheim said that the Tiny Jewel Box moved to its new 8,000-square-foot building at the end of last year and their shop was visited by 1,500 people in the first 4 days of its opening. The fuse, which was noted during the opening of the store, led to the fact that there was an "incredible" December and the next 11 months.

"We had a phenomenal year by any standards," Rosenheim said.

Although this December did not surpass December last year, Rosenheim said that it met their expectations for this month and that sales of watches, as well as designer jewelry and wedding ornaments went well.

He added that less expensive products were sold, but the volume in terms of goods was good.

The company Gause & Son Jewelers in Ocala, Florida, Jerry Gause (Jerry Gause) faced the same circumstances. Store indicators increased compared to tough competition in December 2015, when the company celebrated its 65th anniversary, and it had a steady last 11 months. But in December, the business slowed, which made Goza believe that his customers have already made purchases earlier this year.

Sales of wedding jewelry and watches fell this month, as did the sale of expensive items, but the store still sold many earrings with diamond inserts, as well as other fashionable (not wedding) diamond jewelry.

Both Goz and Rosenheim said that they are optimistically natroeny in relation to 2017.

Midwest: steady end

Jeffrey Mann, whose store with the same name is in Toledo, Ohio, admits that his store was a little behind the week before Christmas, but he was able to finish this year well.

"Our last week was absolutely amazing," he said on Tuesday last week. "It really was like in the good old days, and I have not said that for more than eight years."

He said that the flow of customers in his store was much better than before. It also helped that he did not meet any opposition to its prices from consumers who seemed to be more willing to part with their money than in previous years.

"I think that the economic situation has improved, people feel better, more optimistic," Mann said, when asked what in his opinion led so many people into his store. "I believe that optimism governs our business."

Randy Cole, a retailer from Michigan, also believes that his season ended successfully.

He said that his sales of engagement rings, which usually declined after November 1, "never stopped" this year. He explains this trend with the many positive reviews about his online store that people find when their local jewelers close stores, and they start looking for a new place on the Internet for shopping.

"What are customers going to do? They are going to find someone new, and they go for it on the Internet. If you are not prepared to attract them at the expense of your presence on the Internet, then you will lose, "Cole said.

The wedding brands that sold well in Diamond Vault include Frederic Sage and Beverly K, along with FireCushion diamonds from the New York-based Hasenfeld-Stein.

Cole said that before the store started selling FireCushion diamonds, the stones with a cut were just 1.7 percent of sales, and now they range from 7 to 8 percent.

Jeweler said that, as he expects, 2017 still will be the best for his store.

Mann is also very optimistic about 2017: "I have not experienced such a good start in January for many years."

South Central Region: great season

In the south-central region of the United States, not only was the festive season excellent: the last quarter of the year was profitable for retailers.

"Our entire fourth quarter was excellent," said Craig Underwood of Underwood's Fine Jewelers in Fayetteville, Arkansas, noting that his store achieved double-digit growth compared to the previous year.

In San Antonio, Texas, during the holidays marked a large increase in sales from C. Aaron Penaloza Jewelers.

"We have sales growth of about 30 percent," said Mary Penaloza, noting, however, that "last year was terrible."

Valerie Naifeh of Fine Naifeh Jewelry in Oklahoma, Oklahoma, also experienced a difficult holiday season in 2015 and said that her store "marked an increase of 25 percent this month compared to the same period last year ".

Naifeh's business showed rapid growth "about 10 days before the election" and since then has remained strong.

This is a long-awaited change for the jeweler after the dismal 2015 and early 2016, when the economy of Oklahoma, which depended on oil, lost 3,500 jobs.

"Last year things were much worse for us," said Nayfeh. "We were badly hurt by the drop in oil prices."

But this holiday season, she noted that her customers came to the market to make large purchases of diamonds.

Large diamond inserts were popular, and she sold two pairs of earrings with diamonds totaling 8 carats, plus many more expensive rings for couples that started with small diamonds when they got married 20-30 years ago. During the whole fourth quarter, suspensions with a diamond-tapeworm sold well.

In addition to diamonds, Naifeh buyers also gravitate to high-end fashionable pearls.

"We always have a good business in our category of precious fashion products, because we know this," she explained. - We sold a lot of jewelry with pearls. I produce a line, and we offer a series of pearls extracted from the South Sea, and pendants with Tahitian pearls that sell well, and we almost sold them. "

And for Nayfeh, and for Underwood, the week leading to Christmas was the best in the year.

"This is good and bad," Underwood said of the annual expectations from the pre-Christmas blitz-season sales. "The tension is growing as it approaches, but when the season of big sales actually ends, it's fine."

Both jewelers noted that the week between Christmas and New Year was not so active this year, there were not a lot of returns, but there were not sold many gift cards or purchases for the money accumulated for Christmas presents.

Underwood said that it was "a good week, but not as active as a year ago."

Nayfeh explained: "Usually, a week after Christmas is very, very good for us," partly because many of its customers celebrate the anniversary of the wedding on days close to Christmas Eve.

"It somehow did not happen this year," she continued. "We have not sold many of our gift cards this holiday season." Ultimately, this week was a bit calmer than usual. "

But last week Naifeh Fine Jewelry actually made many products to order. Nayfeh says that it is common for customers to order at the last minute individual products that can not be completed by Christmas, and they are ultimately delivered before the New Year.

West: let's call it a return

In Bellevue, Washington, Steve Goldfarb of Alvin Goldfarb Jeweler, said that the festive season "went very well."

The unusually snowy winter in the Pacific Northwest of the country seems to have sparked a Christmas mood among consumers, Goldfarb said and said: "It reminded everyone that it's Christmas and they'd better make purchases."

The week before December 25, as predicted, was the time of the largest sales volumes. Goldfarb said that even on the eve of Christmas the day before, there were a lot of purchases made at the last minute, but everything was quiet when a football match started with the participation of Seattle Seahawks at 13:30.

The week between Christmas and New Year was "moderately positive", although more quiet than a year earlier, there was not a large number of purchases or returns. Goldfarb expects that this year will be observed more after the holidays.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Mike Butterfield, president of Butterfield Jewelers, was "the best December since 2010," despite the fact that initially there were concerns about the liquidation of stocks on the occasion of closing down the business of his competitors.

"In the end, our customers remained true to us, and we have a number of (new) customers," he said. - We know that people went (for sale at liquidation) and saw that the quality of the goods was not what the company usually sold. In the end, this did not affect us very much. In the short term, we could work even better. In the long term, we will have several new customers. "

We love that when you shop local at Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry, most likely you’ll begin your experience being greeted by Ben Blakeman and his canine companion Mulligan.

Up Close & Personal with Ben Blakeman of Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry Ben Blakeman, of Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry in Rogers, is a second generation fine jeweler who grew up in Fayetteville and Rogers while his father, Don Blakeman, grew a small jewelry shop (opened with just $5,000) into one of the region’s most trusted fine jewelers with a team of 10 employees that also just happens to be the official jeweler of the Razorbacks and has come to be known as the place “Where Arkansas Gets Engaged.”

We recently had the chance to speak with Ben, between his trips visiting with diamond cutters and working closely with loyal customers in the shop, and learn all about how he decided to follow in the family business and what he loves most about serving the Northwest Arkansas area he calls home. Here’s a snippet of our conversation. . .

What is the story of the moment you first realized your love for jewelry?

It is the family business, so I’ve been surrounded by it ever since I was a toddler. But I distinctly remember when I was in high school, my first job was working at a T-shirt kiosk in the mall. Even then, I would walk by the jewelry store in the mall on my break, just checking it out. I had that interest in the jewelry business I couldn’t shake. After a few years working at the T-shirt kiosk, I started selling David Yurman for my dad at Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry. I’ll never forget my first customer there. She still shops with us today. It was so cool how much it meant to her to have her very first piece of David Yurman Jewelry.

Is there a higher purpose you serve through your passion and business?

I realized really early on working with my dad at the store that whether it’s a birthday, graduation, or anniversary, no matter what the milestone, we had the opportunity to interact with customers at a celebratory moment. That’s pretty unique in the retail world, if you think of what we buy on a day-to-day basis, there’s generally not that level of excitement around your purchases. There’s also not that level of engagement, confidence and trust that you have with your jeweler in other areas of retail. I really love the interactions with customers at these milestone moments, and the friendships and connections the business has made over the years.

Above and below: The freshly remodeled Rolex corner at Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry store is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, trying on an ample array of watches and meeting with Ben or one of his team of watch experts to select the perfect investment timepiece.

When did you decide to go into business for yourself? Why?

I officially joined the family business nine years ago. Growing up, we talked about me becoming a part of the Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry team when I was ready, but when I graduated from The University of Arkansas I took a great job working with Anheuser Busch. I was just about to enroll in their sales program when my dad approached me to ask me to join him instead. I had seen from that short period of time in the corporate world that there were some aspects of the work that didn’t align with my hopes and dreams, or the example my dad had set. I could see how truly caring, transparent, honest and kind my dad always was with his customers and the whole Blakeman’s team, and that was an example I wanted to carry on.

My parents’ main goal starting this business was to have a nice place for everyone to come and work and provide not only for their own family but also to provide for their team members’ families. That was a huge message that I took from their work from a very early age, and it’s something I keep at the heart of what I do today. It all came together at that point when my dad and I talked, when I had the decision to either be a salesman for Anheuser Busch or come home and join the team with my dad. Obviously, you know what I chose.

Ben loves to share his extensive knowledge of diamonds with clients while helping them to find the “perfect” ring.

What is your earliest success story in the business?

My first big diamond sale was actually to my best friend! Even though we were best friends, he made me earn it. I had to sell him on what he was buying and the value he was getting, and that was a big lesson for me. The pressure was really high because I knew him, I knew the woman he was proposing to, and I really wanted to make sure he got the best value and that she loved the ring.

What is a little known fact about you?

My wife, Molly, makes fun of me all the time because I’m not handy at all. When I replace a lightbulb we celebrate but still, if I wasn’t working in the jewelry business my dream is to work on a farm. My wife doesn’t think that I’d be able to handle it so my goal is to prove it to her by buying a cow to take care of, to show her I’m cut out for the farm life. Maybe by retirement she’ll be convinced.

We always want to know how our TSG members live local. What are some of your favorite ways to live locally here in NWA?

Molly and I live in Rogers with our rescue terrier mix Mulligan. She works in PR and communications at Walmart, so we spend a lot of time in Bentonville. She absolutely loves the Bentonville Farmers Market, which is where I actually proposed to her. Being a jeweler, I really had to work hard to keep an element of surprise in that moment so I spent a long time asking very nonchalantly what she thought of rings I was looking at for “work.”

We got married at 21C Museum Hotel Bentonville, and recently had a staycation there. It’s a really special place to us. We had our first date at Table Mesa, and we also love to go to Las Palmas Downtown Mexican Restaurant and our under-the-radar go-to spot is La Petite Bistro. Of course, we’re gearing up for the fall where we’ll be cheering on the Razorbacks every weekend! (We’re the official jeweler of the Arkansas Razorbacks after all!)

That’s so fun! Do you do work with other organizations within the community?

We’ve partnered for years and years donating hundreds of pieces of jewelry to be auctioned off for different charitable organizations in the region, but we work mainly with Arkansas Children’s Northwest Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House and Mercy Hospital. We just donated a really amazing trip that includes a behind-the-scenes diamond cutting experience in New York for Mercy and another experience to take guests to a diamond mine in Canada to see how they source through the rough, to benefit Arkansas Children’s. I’m really excited about those experiences and all the money they raised for the hospitals, too.

The exterior of Rogers-based Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry store exudes major curb appeal. The shop’s interior was recently remodeled by interior designer Melissa Haynes of MH Design in Fayetteville.

Stop by Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry (3202 South Pinnacle Hills Parkway, Rogers, AR) to visit Ben and his dad, Don, who still comes into the store three days a week, and discover what’s new, what are some of their favorite finds and jewelry designs or to chat about how you plan to celebrate your next milestone with something shiny and gorgeous to wear.
