Dress Rehearsal | Style blogger Hilary Rose Elrod (she’s engaged!) test drives the most stunning bridal jewels in town

CONGRATS, HILARY!

Style blogger Hilary Rose Elrod took a leap of faith a few years ago and moved to Charleston from Texas, hoping to continue her fashion, beauty, and lifestyle blog here in the Holy City. Not only has her popularity skyrocketed, she also met her fiancé here. They’ll say “I do” in town this year, and for all wanting to follow her wedding planning journey, check out her site for everything from save-the-dates to engagement shots and so much more. To help her celebrate, we asked if she wanted to join us to try on some of the most crush-worthy accessories in some of our favorite Lowcountry shops. Lucky for all of us, she said “Yes!” Check out the gallery for a little catalog of what she tried on while playing dress up as a bride, no less.
 
Here’s hoping you can find a love match in some of the jewels, too. (Oh, and that crazy-amazing ring in the shot above? It's Single Stone’s “Genevieve” 2.77 ct. marquise diamond from Croghan’s Jewel Box. Wowsah, indeed.)
