Wearable technology had a breakthrough month. Apple Watch was unveiled and is on display at Colette Paris. Fashion week in New York launched collaborations between designers including Rebecca Minkoff and Tory Burch, with technology companies, to create accessories with communication capabilities and features to track fitness and interact with wearer’s smartphones.
We believe “wearable tech” is “wedding tech.” Brides and wedding pros tend to be early adopters of technology and tools that streamline planning, encourage creative design and make it simple to record and share memories. (Remember the first Google Glass bride?) This season, editors and audiences have noticed a difference that will get the wedding crowd’s attention: style.

From Van Cleef & Arpels’ new Peau d’Âne collection, the exquisite Solar Ring is crafted in yellow gold, and features a 16ct cushion-cut yellow sapphire, surrounded by smaller sapphires and diamonds.
The jewels in this collection tell the story of classic French fairy tale, Peau d’Âne, which was made into a 1970 film starring Catherine Deneuve. Radiant with the golden light of the sun, this ring is part of the Happy Marriage chapter of the tale told in gems, and would make an extraordinary anniversary gift. See more here.
Elegant, gold-framed crystal Loquets are designed to be filled with tiny charms and birthstones. Scheherazade Goldsmith and Laura Bailey collaborated on this line of bespoke jewelry and call each piece, “a love story coded in charms.” Fill one with initials, numbers signifying your wedding date, and a stone or symbol that has personal meaning, and give the perfect gift to your maid of honor or perhaps, your new stepdaughter.
Collections being shown now for Spring 2015 are packed with white gowns, creams, ivories and sophisticated pastels. Fashion week is a always a great source of inspiration for color palettes and silhouettes, but this season’s looks really stand out. If you’re a bride to be, don’t limit yourself to wedding magazines.
