Talk about a big wedding! More than 17 million people were on hand to watch "Bachelorette" Trista Rehn finally tie the knot with Ryan Sutter in the California desert.

Television camera lights may be bright, but it was diamond and platinum jewelry that really sparkled at the ceremony. Rehn and Sutter chose platinum wedding bands from designer Tacori to express their commitment.

To complement her engagement ring, Rehn selected a Tacori platinum eternity band, set with baguettes and round brilliant diamonds, with a suggested retail price of $7,500. Rehn also chose a classic platinum and diamond right-hand ring set with round brilliant diamonds, with a suggested retail price of $6,750. Sutter selected a platinum three-dimensional hand-engraved wedding band, with a suggested retail price of $3,250.

"Trista & Ryan knew that they wanted a classy and elegant design to display their love and to reflect their own sense of style," says Paul Tacorian of Tacori. "These platinum rings embody all of those wishes."

In addition to her platinum rings, the new Mrs. Sutter wore Stuart Weitzman's "Wedding Shoes"—open-toe, 4½-in. heels covered in Swarovski crystals. Each shoe features 123 round diamonds set in platinum.
