Groom's Week: What to get the guy who has everything???

Traditionally, the bride gives her groom a wedding present but what if your guy is one of those guys who have it all????

Here are a few unique gift ideas for grooms....

1) Is he the nautical, coin collector type? If so, check out these El Cazador Shipwreck cuff links from Arca Fine Coin Jewelry (call for details) ($795).


2) Is he the political type? Maybe he needs a Jorg Gray 6500 watch ($325) like President Obama!


3) Is he a cigar aficionado? Why not personalize this Not Just Any Old Day sterling silver cigar tube ($398) with your wedding date?

A bridesmaid gift she'll really wear again and again.

I saw these chunky rainbow bangles on Style School and they made me say "WOW" out loud.


Stackable bracelets are in vogue and I love the idea of giving your bridesmaids a gift they'll really wear again and again. Roberta Chiarella Sparkle 24/7 Bangles are available in 15 colors and two finishes (gold and platinum) so you'll surely find something to please every gal in your group. And, at $48 each you can give your girls a small stack.

You may just want to get some to match your honeymoon outfits too...

Give her the key to your heart...

Here's an idea for guys who are afraid to pick out an engagement ring. What if you gave your gal one of Tiffany's new key necklace and said "Here's the key to my heart. Let's go ring shopping?"


The guy gets to surprise the girl and the girl gets double bling. How perfect is that? The necklaces start at $100 and go up to $15K. They would also be great wedding, birthday or anniversary gifts...

Mark your wedding date with this personalized necklace

Remember my post on personalized calendar charm gifts? Here's another option that would make a great present for any bride-to-be. I think it would also make an awesome anniversary or birthday gift...

Dalla Nonna Jewelry's signature piece, the calendar necklace comes in gold (rose, yellow or white) or silver with a brushed or shiny finish. You mark your special day with your choice of sapphire (pink, blue, green, purple, red or yellow).

Aren't they drool-worthy????

Need groomsmen gift ideas? For your guys only....

Is your fiance still looking for groomsmen gift ideas?

Cufflinks are a classic choice but I think these vintage subway token cufflinks from Etsy's QA Create add a nice personal touch.

Did they go to school in Boston together? Go for these:


Are you getting married in the Big Apple? Here you go:


Is someone from the Windy City?

And finally, for the Californians....

Best of all, I think they they are a real steal at just $20-30 each.

Tips from the Pros: How to take amazing engagement and wedding ring photos

Speaking of photography, have you ever noticed how hard it is to take a good photo of your engagement and wedding rings?

Here are my best attempts. I'm obviously a novice here.

I found a great tutorial on ring photography from Anne Ruthmann Photography and I'm excited to test out some of her ideas. Since I'm heading off on a Mexican vacation tomorrow, I thought I'd start a new tradition of photographing my rings in exotic settings. I'll share some pics when I return. And, if you have any good shots (travel themed or not) to share, send them on over.
