1. Can you please tell us a little bit about yourself and Sea of Bees?

Four years ago, I moved to New York with my love. I had just graduated from Dutch law School, and it was hard to find a job. This gave me time to explore the opportunity to try something different. I started to write about my experiences living in New York, and luckily it got picked up and published. From short columns, I began to get new opportunities to write even more and what followed was an online audience. Then, I decided to launch my website, Sea of Bees, and have been taking on many writing jobs as a freelancer ever since.

2. How would you describe your personal style?

I put together my own kind of style from magazines to fashion blogs.  I love to combine different styles and vibes. For instance: I have combined a pinstripe blazer with lace flared trousers and colorful loafers. Another example is a very minimalist dress with silver strappy sandals. Overall I would say that my style is feminine with an edge.

3. Can you tell us about your favorite part of the wedding? 

My favorite part of my wedding was feeling so much love around me. Not only from my husband, but also from all of our guests who were there to support us. I have never seen so many smiles and people connecting with each other. That was just the best thing. Especially since we live so far away from all our friends in Europe and our family in the Netherlands, everyone coming together for us was the greatest gift we could have received.

4. Why did you decide to pick the Proud Pearl earrings with diamonds from AUrate for your wedding?

I wanted the earrings that I picked to be classic, but not simple. I wanted them to be glamorous, but not overdone. And, from my point of view AUrate’s Proud Pearl Diamond earrings meets all of these criteria. The pearls and diamonds are traditional. But because of the design and the size of the pearl with the smaller diamonds, the pieces have an edge that I love.

5. What was your bridal style?

My wedding dress was intricately detailed with a lace pattern, embellishments and pearls. I love the idea of being the belle-of-the-ball, and my dress had the fairytale qualities that I loved. I chose to keep my accessories simple, only wearing earrings on our wedding day.

6. What do you love about AUrate?

What I love about AUrate is that all the pieces are feminine but they all have an edge. AUrate is minimalistic, but also has the va-va-voom of high-end jewelry. This combined with the quality and price-point of each piece, makes AUrate one of my favorite brands when it comes to jewelry.

We would love for all of our customers to also get the chance to be the belle-of-the ball like Bo this wedding season. Be sure to enter our contest for a chance to win essentials that will guarantee to make you stand out from the crowd.
