We couldn't resist sharing this standout moment: a couple smartly syncing their “I dos” with the eclipse, turning their wedding into a spectacle of nature and love. They expertly planned their ceremony to say vows with the eclipse's start and enjoyed champagne as darkness peaked.

This breathtaking photo, merging two moments 25 minutes apart during the eclipse, comes courtesy of some quick thinking and creativity. Despite a bit of drama when the intense sunlight challenged the photographer's gear, Brian Clark captured this incredible shot.

Kudos to Brian for preserving this once-in-a-lifetime event!

Really incredible.

Photographed by the wonderful Amy Caroline Photography, when we first clapped eyes on these nuptials, we knew they were something special.

Along with a beautiful bride, a handsome groom, gorgeous DIY details and stunning scenery, there's also majestic elephants, cute monkeys, and even a cameo from a giraffe.

Leah and Philip's safari wedding in Zimbabwe is as breath-taking as they come. From a beautiful outdoor ceremony under a fig tree in the bush, to a gorgeous marquee reception filled with rustic features, these fabulous photographs capture every  gorgeous detail.

We'll never get sick of wedding dresses and centrepieces, but we can't help but be a little beside ourselves when a wedding is stripped back and simplified, (and there's some wild animals thrown into the mix as well!)

We think you'll agree…

From the Photographer

Leah and Philip's DIY wedding was based on African earth tones and the love of the African Bush.

The bride and groom were wed under a giant fig tree. The guests were all driven in in typical land drovers, to this perfect ceremony site truly in the middle of no where in the bush.

The bridesmaids dresses were all hand made and each color chosen based on colors found in typical African scenery.

The baby's breath was a simple flower accent, the bride wanted to keep the flowers simple and not distract from the natural colors in Zimbabwe. 

The groomsmen all worn typical khakis and simple rolled up white shirts. The table details were all carved wooden pieces made just for the wedding.

Wildlife surrounded the day, elephants, giraffe and a few monkeys here and there.

It was a typical hot African summer day, with a thunderstorm rolling in and out, but rained off in the distance and not a drop fell all day.

The greenery that surrounded this day was breathtaking, and in true simple African from, was stunning in it's own natural way. 

From The Bride

My husband and I chose Chengeta Safari Lodge for our wedding venue because we both share a love for the outdoors. My husband is a professional hunter and guide so the African bush is his home.

We found this beautiful place just an hour or so away from our home and it felt as if we had been transported to another place entirely – tranquil, the lion roar in the morning, and the giant fig tree found in this beautiful open plain.

Our theme for the wedding was very simple… wood and white with the bridesmaids in different earth tones to blend with the African bush. We love the bush and wanted the colours to blend instead of contrast to the majestic setting we were in – to let the bush speak for itself.

We wanted the day to be simple – a day for Phil and I to celebrate joining our lives and sharing it with those that we are closest to – our friends and family.

We loved the simplicity of gathering under a giant fig tree, with loved ones as we celebrated our marriage.

We wanted our day to be fun, a celebration of two lives coming together and we didn’t want it to get lost in the details or colour choices.

When we look back on the day, on our memories and the photos that captured so many precious moments we know we made the right choice – simple elegance. It was a perfect day.”

Wow. We just can't stop looking at these pictures, striped back, simple, and very, very, special.

Thanks so much to Amy Caroline Photography and of course to Leah and Philip for sharing their beautiful wedding day with us.

And while they provide an ocean of choices, we've dived deep and surfaced with our handpicked favorites. These are the sets that stand out, the pairings that promise not just a sparkle on the hand but a story to tell. Let's walk you through three of our favorite engagement and wedding ring pairings that caught our eyes and might just capture your hearts.

1.

A Diamond-Forward Stack

A harmonious blend of the Baguette Meringue band's diverse diamond cuts and the Chantilly Asscher engagement ring's bold center stone, creating a modern yet timeless elegance.

The Baguette Meringue band and Chantilly Asscher engagement ring come together for a diamond-forward look that's both timeless and trendy. The mix of baguette and round diamonds in the band pairs beautifully with the Asscher center stone, creating a visual dance of light and geometry. It's all about the contrast here: the smooth lines versus the dynamic sparkle.

What sets these rings apart is their craftsmanship, which brings out the best in the diamonds, making them shine their brightest. Remember, Frank Darling's dedication to personal choice means all their designs, including this one, can be crafted in yellow gold, white gold, or platinum. This flexibility ensures your ring will perfectly match your style and preference.

2.

Bezel Set Step Cuts for the Timeless Vintage Lover

The Half Briquette wedding band and Breezy Bezel Emerald engagement ring unite in a vintage-inspired pairing, showcasing sleek bezel settings and step-cut diamonds.

For those who adore vintage with a modern twist, the Half Briquette band and Breezy Bezel Emerald ring are like a dream from the past, made for today. The band's row of bezel-set baguettes is sleek and sophisticated, while the engagement ring's emerald-cut diamond stands out in a flush bezel setting.

This combo is all about harmony and history, blending a classic feel with contemporary style. The consistent bezel setting in both pieces not only looks sharp but also keeps those precious stones secure. Together, these rings stack up to create a unified look that's rich in history and style, perfect for someone who loves a story in every detail.

3.

Elegant Crescendo with the Symphony & Alto

The Symphony Oval paired with The Alto is where grace meets precision.

In this pairing, the Symphony Oval ring takes center stage with its elegant split shank and a standout oval diamond that captures attention without saying a word. It's the kind of ring that doesn't scream for attention but somehow always ends up in the spotlight. The Alto band plays its part perfectly, with marquise diamonds that build in size like a well-crafted crescendo. Each diamond is set to shine, making sure that this band isn’t just seen, it's remembered. When worn together, these rings strike the right note, offering a combination that's as perfect for daily wear as it is for life's biggest moments. It’s a set that says a lot without making a fuss, ideal for the one who appreciates subtlety with a touch of brilliance.

4.

A Contoured Split Shank Stack That's a Little More Alternative

Combining the unconventional Symphony Oval engagement ring again but this time with the Peaked Eternity wedding band, this pairing offers a bold, modern twist on traditional elegance.

Mixing the bold with the beautiful, the Symphony Oval engagement ring and Peaked Eternity wedding band are for those who walk on the unconventional side of love. The engagement ring's split shank leads to an oval diamond that's nothing short of stunning, offering a modern take on the classic solitaire. Pair that with the Peaked Eternity band, which contours perfectly around it, and you've got a set that feels destined to be. Both pieces share this warm yellow gold tone, enhancing the brilliance of their lab-grown diamonds. This stack isn't just a style statement; it's a testament to a love that's as unique and daring as the design itself.
