Gold Is What's Hot for Winter Weddings - Designer Amsale Aberra Tells Us Why

Long after the "I do's" and the honeymoon phase has worn off, newlyweds will have one item to remind them of their vows for the rest of their lives -- their rings.  When shopping for wedding bands, brides and grooms should select rings that reflect their style, personality in addition to their love and commitment to one another.

Today, the romantic history surrounding traditional gold wedding bands continues to resonate in the world of weddings. 

In this video interview, Amsale Aberra lets us know about the latest trends in gold jewelry for Fall and Winter weddings.

About: Amsale Aberra's career as a couture bridal and evening wear designer happened by necessity. While planning her 1985 nuptials to film executive Neil Brown, Amsale scoured the stores to find a simple, refined wedding dress. She found little in the way of clean, sophisticated gowns, and discovered an untapped niche in the bridal market—elegant and understated dresses.

Fox, Vanessa Williams, Lisa Kudrow, Heidi Klum, Katherine Heigl and many others. Her gowns have been featured on "The Oprah Winfrey Show", "Grey's Anatomy" and "27 Dresses."
