“We couldn’t be happier.”
When I first called H & L, I was hesitant to share my budget… but Lorie listened, encouraged me, and made me feel special and confident that it was my wedding day and it could be as beautiful as I wanted without spending a fortune… Hiring H & L was the best decision. We couldn’t be happier with our small backyard wedding.

![MAKE A WISH!
Today I get to celebrate ONE more year of life 🤍 and beyond anything else … I’m THANKFUL.
Thankful for the blessings we receive each day from The Lord, Thankful for @homer567 and his love (read it as patience 🥴) Thankful for the dreams we get to chase together, and the never-ending adventures … Thankful for our family, our business, our clients, our friends and vendors, our team, for EACH of you!! 🥰
I’m not big on celebrating myself, I’ve never been, and won’t ever be … I do, however, enjoy celebrating others ☺️ … I was reading something today and found it SO fitting for today as a token to celebrate YOU!!
Without you all, we wouldn’t be here, so we are THANKFUL.
Here’s what I read this morning:
This is my wish for you
Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Hugs when spirits sag,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
[Ralph Waldo Emerson]
May your day be as special as mine, today and always!
Cheers 🥂

![RING IT ON!
Engagement season is here and whether you'll be scouting out rings together or shopping solo, we've put together a guide to help you find the perfect 💍 for your better half.
An engagement ring is usually a considerable expense, so you want to make sure you do it right.
💎Narrow Down The Shape: Every shape (also known as a cut) is priced differently—and each has a different price per carat. Round cuts are the most 💰whereas pear & marquise are less so. If the size is important, you can get more carats at a better price when you choose an alternative shape to the classic round cut.
💎Choose The Metal: Some metals scratch easier than others, so be sure to consider lifestyle—as well as 💵 before deciding.
💎Have a Carat Size in Mind: Buy a diamond that is just shy of the common weights, you'll save 💰 + no one will be able to tell it's a 0.92 carat instead of a 1.
💎Get Measured: Make sure you both get your ring fingers properly measured.
💎Consider The Look with the Wedding Band: Think about what style of wedding band would go with your ring. Some rings don't allow a band to fit against them.
💎Always Buy Certified: Make sure you're buying a certified stone from an accredited laboratory [American Gem Society for the Gemological Institute of America].
💎Verify the Certificate Matches the Diamond: Most diamonds are laser inscribed on the girdle.
💎Think of Quality of the Cut & Clarity: Save big by purchasing the lowest color & clarity diamond that will still look colorless to the naked eye, but NEVER sacrifice on the quality of the cut of the diamond. It's the cut of the diamond that gives it that gorgeous sparkle we love.
💎Negotiate: Do your research before pulling the trigger & don't be afraid to negotiate. A good jeweler will be willing to work within your budget & get you the best quality that works for your needs.
💎Go to the Wholesale District: Work with nontraditional retailers or wholesalers to avoid unnecessary markups. They don't have the overhead traditional retailers do, and can help you save more than 30% giving you the best bang for your buck.
