Wedding Rings

Wedding Rings…NOT engagement rings…The next few posts will feature the most iconic image of all wedding symbols – the wedding ring. In my parents’ day, it was all about the matching wedding rings. There was the bride’s wedding ring with MAYBE a little bling like the ring above, and then a larger matching version for the groom.

In MY generation, we embraced the “Wedding Set”. The bride received an engagement ring from her future groom, and it came with it’s own, matching wedding ring. It was usually designed to fit snugly around the engagement ring. A company like Elegant Gems Jewellers do bespoke rings and you can customise it so it can be unique to you and your partner. The groom was then left to his own devices for his choice of wedding band.

The stackable bands below are a favorite of mine – I hope my husband takes notice…I would love a combination of them, to wear as an alternative to the engagement ring/wedding band I regularly wear, of course…Maybe a future anniversary gift?? I believe that is the actual intention of the jewelry designer. I hear some have decided to give silicone rings! Some of them look fabulous, I hear!

Just can’t bear wearing jewelry? Maybe a “wedding band” tattoo is for you…NOT for me…I like jewelry too much…But just think, slipping off the wedding ring for no good purpose wouldn’t be an option for THIS husband… 🙂 I just wish my husband was as interested about rings as I am, as I found some lovely rings for him on manlybands.com, I’m just waiting for him to have a nose! Check back tomorrow, and hear about the many wedding rings I have acquired – all from the same wonderful husband, though.. I guess you could say I’m not very sentimental.

How Will You Photo Your Rings?

You think you’ve planned it all?  Well, add “Think of a memorable, creative, ‘never-before seen’ photo idea for your wedding rings”.  Wedding Rings??? You ask.  Yes. It’s quite the thing.  If you’re planning a beach wedding, the top photo could be just what you’re looking for…if not…not so much…and then again…might you loose those gorgeous rings in the sand?… could happen!

The fork idea is cute…but why???  Not sure what the theme is, but I really think there should be one…although the “Mr./ Mrs.” works for me.

I rather like the next picture.  It’s romantic, and shows both rings off to good advantage.  The bride and groom’s fingers intertwined is very intimate.

The next picture is not original, as far as the ‘wedding ring photos’ are concerned.  In my research, I found several…But it’s cute, and if you enlarge the calendar, maybe it will be a way to remind your husband of your anniversary!

I LOVE the photo above.  It has all my favorite things: shoes, flowers… and jewelry – a can’t miss combo.  Maggie and Rob had some lovely photos of their rings.  Their photographer did a nice job, but they didn’t discuss it before hand.  If you really care, I suggest you think what about is special to the two of you, and try to incorporate that into a photo op.  Your wedding is a once in a life time event, make the most of it , and plan ahead.  Yes, yes, you have to micro manage – but you’ll be glad you did.  The photos will last forever.
