Some of the world’s most distinctive hotels (NYC’s The Carlyle, Las Ventanas al Paraíso in Cabo and Caneel Bay on St. John, U.S.V.I) belong to an elite group, called Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. Truth be told, many of the brand’s properties are among my favorite in the world, and they are often featured in the pages of your favorite bridal magazine. I love the attention to detail, the great service and—most importantly—the sense of place of each individual property.

With less than five and a half months to go, Michael and I visited our jeweler last week to design our wedding bands. He opted for a solid platinum band, while I selected a platinum diamond eternity band with the same hand-carved leaf detailing featured on my engagement ring. I love that my ring has a classic design yet enough accents to make it entirely my own. Display your eternal commitment with a ring that is just as unique as the love you share for one another.

Love how bridal designers are infusing color into their gowns, but not sure if you could pull off pink on your wedding day? Embrace the trend by selecting a delicate pink gold wedding band, instead, like this 18k Cartier band set with a diamond. Priced at $800.

Gossip Girl's own royal wedding will air on Monday, January 30, marking the 100th episode. Check out this sneak peek at Blair Waldorf's walk down the aisle!

We already know that both Blair and maid of honor Serena van der Woodsen are wearing Vera Wang gowns, and the bridesmaids are wearing White by Vera Wang. What we don't know: Will Blair go through with the wedding, or will she become a runaway bride?
