Wedding Cake backed with 1,200 Carats in Diamonds!

 

A wedding cake covered in sapphires and diamonds went on display this weekend at a Dallas Bridal show this weekend, according to NBC’s Dallas/Fort Worth affiliate. The magnificent nine-tier wedding cake, valued at $1.3 million, could arguably be the focal point of any wedding celebration. It weighs about 160 pounds and serves about 320 people at a less-than-economical price of $3,125 per slice.

 

A Dallas bakery, Delicious Cakes, and the Dallas Gold and Silver Exchange got together to create the wedding cake, which is decorated in silver "luster" dust icing and 1,200 carats of loose diamonds.

The $10,000 Proposal Martini

One of the signs that Spring must be just around the corner is not just that the days start to get longer, but that wedding and proposal specials start to proliferate. Many men must feel a lot of pressure to not only pick the right diamond engagement ring but to propose in such a manner that their fiancé will have a great story to tell all of her friends, not to mention her mother. Some people are just naturally creative and others need a little bit of help and inspiration.

A New York City hotel is prepared to help the creatively impaired, offering what is possibly the most expensive martini ever. The Grey Goose $10,000 proposal cocktail comes with a one-of-a-kind diamond ring placed in the glass. This specialty cocktail is served by a white gloved waiter in a crystal glass on a silver platter in the hotel's famous bar. The hotel arranges for clients to work one on one with a private jeweler to customize the engagement ring picking carat size, number of stones and the setting. The hotel needs at least 72 hours notice to set up this arrangement.

A real Cinderella proposal if you ask me!

A New York Blizzard Proposal with Whiteflash.com

Dear Whiteflash Sales Team,

 

I want to thank you and everyone at Whiteflash who helped with my diamond engagement ring.  It is beautiful and is exactly what I had in mind. 

 

The weekend we spent in New York was amazing!  We happened to be there during the blizzard that hit and between the snow and the excitement of the ring and engagement the weekend was really special.  I truly appreciate all the work that went into getting my order out in time for our trip in New York. 

 

I have been recommending Whiteflash to all my friends and as soon as I get a chance I will definitely share my experience on Pricescope.

 

I am looking forward to working with you soon regarding the wedding bands. 

 

Thanks again,

Natalie

“I just wanted to let you know that I've finally got my diamond ring!!!!  The diamond from Whiteflash is amazing!  It sparkles like mad and all of the people I have shown it to so far have all said that they've never seen a diamond like that before!  It's a beautiful work of art.”

-David

“I'm incredibly happy with the ring design …the picture is great, but it certainly doesn't show how lively the diamond is!  Thanks for all of your help and great service, Whiteflash and Leon Mege really made this happen!

 
- Ray

 

 

“You guys have great customer service and I greatly appreciate it. I hear that my friends also referred some of their family. If that doesn’t prove that good word travels fast I don’t know what does!”

 

-Ryan

 

“It is amazing how delicate the ring is in person. :-)  It also doesn't take much for those ACA diamond melees to shoot fire everywhere.  I am very happy with how the entire process played out and am equally pleased with the final result. The design and setting is definitely worthy of the mahenge spinel.  Thank you again for making this happen.”

 

-Adrienne

-Michael

“I had to write to tell you just how perfectly gorgeous this little diamond is. My family is very grateful to you and to everyone at Whiteflash for helping me give this precious gift. Thank you!!”

-Cindy

“The diamond is amazing!  The Whiteflash A Cut Above® Diamond stood its ground against the Hearts on Fire diamond!  Its overall performance was as good or even better when compared to it.  Overall, I have no regret purchasing the loose diamond from Whiteflash and am glad that I got to work with such nice and accommodating people. Thanks again for all of your help!”

-Lue

“She absolutely adores the engagement ring and she cried when she saw it. Additionally, I am concerned she may get into a car accident because she stares at it so much. But don’t worry I’ll be driving the next few days until she stops staring at it long enough to pay attention to the road. As my fiancé so aptly put it, her ring is “perfect” for lack of a better word. Is there a word beyond perfection? I certainly believe if there is you guys have achieved it.   The calendar included with the whole package was great. So many beautiful jewelry pieces for every month of the year.” 

-Walter

“I just want you all to know that we picked up my custom designed diamond ring today and it’s
just beautiful!  I’m wearing it now…I love it so much!  You guys did an awesome job.  Every question I had was answered promptly, you ensured the ring was exactly how we wanted it…we couldn’t have asked for anything more.  We are both so happy, and will definitely be recommending you to others! Fantastic work!!!!”

Amazing Niagara Falls Proposal with Whiteflash

Dear Whiteflash Sales Team,

 

I did have a great Christmas and New Year and I did in fact propose! After Christmas my fiancé and I took a trip to Niagara falls. I asked her to marry me there. She was soooo excited. She was really amazed about how much the diamond sparkled (she has no idea how much research I did to get a diamond like that haha). The next day she got compliments from random people who said that they love her ring and the way it sparkles. Thanks so much for your help Sheerah and I will be sure to call you when we are going to buy our wedding bands.

Popping the question on Mt. Doom with Whiteflash

Dear Whiteflash Sales Team,

 

I hope you had a great set of holidays. So I think when we last left off I had told you I loved the diamond engagement ring and that I was preparing to go to New Zealand. Well the trip was amazing and so memorable. Between introducing Amanda to all my family and enjoying what the country has to offer we had a great time. It was really special to introduce her as my fiancé to my grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins as a future member of the family.

So about the proposal. Everything (and I mean everything including the weather which apparently had been bad for 2 weeks prior to the day we hiked) went according to plan EXCEPT for just one thing. After all my planning I totally overlooked the fact that hands (and fingers) swell considerably after a 9.5 hour hike. I proposed 5 hours in at the summit and we BARELY got the ring on. She had to suck on her finger for 5 minutes and we kind of forced it on. Good news though that the proposal was extremely memorable (and just extreme really). Once the swelling went down over the next day the ring fit perfectly. I attached some pictures of it on her hand and me proposing (and you can see for youself how swollen her fingers were!).

Thank you again for all your help and patience in helping me find the perfect ring (I hear a lot of "Good job on picking the ring!" when people see it). I hope you are keeping well.

-Michael
