An Athens, Tennessee Barn Wedding

On September 8th Lexi and Richard became Mr & Mrs Jang. Held at the stunning Ramble Creek Events in Athens, Tennessee on a warm yet breezy day, the summer wedding they had been waiting for finally came to life. The fall color palette full of lush purples and deep navy blues was the perfect contrast to the bright white and natural wooden barn wedding setting. When it came time for the ceremony, we were overwhelmed with the coming-togetherness of all the different friends and families who traveled from all over the world -- It was so touching and incredibly meaningful to both sides of the families. Richard's grandfather traveled all the way from South Korea to this Athens, Tennesee wedding to witness the union between his grandson and Lexi. Witnessing the combining of these two cultures was simply amazing.

What should I look for when choosing an engagement ring?

What should I look for when choosing an engagement ring?

Of course, if you've done any research at all then you've already learned the 4 C's of diamonds -- cut, color, clarity and carat.

But there are so many options out there that personally, if I had to shop for a diamond I think I would be a bit...overwhelmed.

Where do I buy it? What is the best cut? What clarity diamond should I choose? Designer brand engagement ring or generic? So many questions and let me tell you, it sounds like a lot of hard work.

But it doesn't have to be! It can be really easy if you go with the experts, and super easy if you go with a top quality, precision cut diamond where all the math has been done for you.

The A CUT ABOVE® Collection Series diamonds are the best of the best diamonds you can find on the market. All diamonds are in colorless DEF and FL-VVS purity, are Super Ideal cut and receive the top grade from the top laboratory specializing in light performance AGS certification. In plain English, that all means that their diamonds rank at the very top of the scale in every category! They are gorgeous. And it means you'll simply never go wrong with anything you choose in the entire collection. Oh, and Whiteflash has all the top designer brands with tons of elegant engagement ring settings and wedding bands to choose from.

Whiteflash is the developer and sole distributor of A CUT ABOVE® diamonds, and all are in-stock and available for immediate purchase.

It all starts with selecting high quality rough diamonds which are then cut by master cutters using state of the art technology. The polished diamonds are then sent to the American Gem Society Laboratories (AGSL) for complete gemological review and certification as Triple Ideal. Each and every diamond must then pass a rigorous quality control process by the Whiteflash review team, including light performance imaging, to ensure their diamonds are the best of the best. And that's how you find a diamond that is truly ‘a cut above’ everything else in the market.

A Portland, Oregon Waverley Country Club Wedding

One of my favorite parts of the job is having the opportunity to truly connect with couples. With Kate and Zac, who met while working at Nestle, it was no different. This was a super busy couple who lived out of state, ended up changing jobs and moving all during the stages of wedding planning. Kate and Zac always had smiles on their faces, were super laid back, thoughtful and really let me get creative without micromanaging. The end result was spectacular, if I don't say so myself!
