Despite being an eternal spinster, I do love a good
engagement story! I love people that have put effort into the proposal and/or
announcement. In fact, I often find
myself losing hours on YouTube watching proposal videos – we’ve all done that
right? If I get into watching some of the clever first dance videos that people
create I lose even more time! So when I was invited to check out 77 Diamonds I knew I would
have a lot of fun window shopping! And when I read their celebrity trend data,
I was not disappointed!

Getting Engaged
As ever, your engagement and subsequent wedding is a very
personal affair. For me, it isn’t ever about how much money you have to spend
but instead ensuring that it is exactly what you want and that you’re
completely in love. There are loads of ways that you can create the ultimate
engagement and wedding day to your exact budget, so never put off getting
engaged until the time is right for finances – This is something special and
should be cherished!

Celebrity Engagement Trends
Of course you’ll always see celebrity engagements and
massive sparkling rings to celebrate their coupling, but we don’t always notice
that there are different trends that can have an effect on what we buy. We know
that celebrities and social media have a lasting effect on what we spend our

on and when it comes to engagement and wedding rings, there is no exception.
A few years ago you’d have seen platinum rings everywhere, as this is what celebrities were wearing. Since then we have seen white gold soar in popularity throughout 2016 and yellow gold has been the must have this year because of Meghan Markle’s 3-stone ring. One trend that seems to out-last them all is white diamonds which have been just as popular this year as they have previously.
Getting Engaged
You might not notice it but even when and how we get engaged
can be affected by celebrity trends. We see celebrities host big extravagant
engagements, whisking their significant others off to luxurious locations
and we’re tempted to do the same.

We tend to see lots of people get engaged during the summer
and of course over the Christmas holidays – perhaps your own engagement is soon
approaching and you just don’t know it yet?

Spreading the News
Over recent years we have seen celebrities take charge and
announce their own engagement rather than through official press releases. We
have seen some really funny and clever announcements created purely for
platforms such as Instagram and this has made the rest of the world want to
follow suit.

Of course, as much as celebrity engagements are fascinating
– when you consider that they spend an average of over £450k on a ring, it
might be worth looking at your own needs and coming up with something that
makes you happy – after all, we don’t all have that Hollywood
budget!

one? Got one planned? Tell me everything!
