Jewelry:

I wanted to wear Amber jewelry to reflect my Polish heritage. I found the perfect set online at The Russian Store, and it even took care of my something blue! Unfortunately, I forgot the earrings at home! Luckily, I had little amber studs with me though, so it was fine.

The Rings:

When Erich proposed, he gave me a solitaire ring so I could pick my setting. I chose:

I thought this would be easy to find a band for. Not so! We finally had one custom made based on a ring I had seen in Boulder:

We had it made at Kayâ€™s for half the price of all the other jewelry stores in the area. Even better, Kayâ€™s required a $500 deposit, but you could hae it back if you didnâ€™t like their design in wax. Every other jewelry store we talked to keeps that deposit if they canâ€™t make you happy. Kays did a great job!

We found Erichâ€™s ring a t a jewelry boutique in Boulder. The center color is actualy meteor rock! Super cool! The ring is by Chris Ploof.

I found lots of amazing stuff on Etsy for the wedding!

Wedding programs I created based on all the fabulous ideas on this site. If you or someone you know is big into Scrapbooking, this can be done pretty easily, it just takes time. Luckily, my neighbor is a huge scapbooker, which saved me literally $100s on tools!:

Here's the template I created/borrowed for these:
