The big day has been
set, and now you have tons of wedding preparations to attend to - preparing the
guest list, looking for a caterer, shopping for the perfect wedding dress, and
a lot more. All of these are essential
in putting together a memorable wedding, so remember to have all these on your
wedding checklist. Also do remember to
include on the top of your checklist, "choosing a perfect wedding ring."
Selecting a wedding
rings for women and wedding rings for men is not as easy as it looks. It
requires much thought, too. After all,
it is the wedding band that binds the couple together and will be worn by the
bride and groom for their entire married life, and therefore must be something
that they would not get tired of wearing.
Most important when
choosing a wedding ring set is to decide on a budget. The couple should
consider how much they could afford to spend for the wedding rings. Based on this budget that the couple have in
mind, decide on the material they want their wedding bands to be made of.
The materials from
which wedding rings can be made of have evolved through the years. However, the most popular are still those
made from classic 14K or 18K yellow gold.
Gold rings remain to be very popular both for wedding and engagement.
Wedding rings made
from white gold are also gaining popularity, it being very stylish-looking and
exuding a very modern aura. Also, white
gold goes well with other silver and platinum jewellery, as well as with most clothing
fabric.
Platinum being one of
the hardest metals is also a very suitable material for a wedding ring. For one, it is very durable and therefore
will endure wear and tear for a very long time.
Platinum wedding rings may also be a symbol for enduring love that is if
couple wanted a romantic twist in picking a wedding ring. Platinum rings looking very similar with
rings made of white gold looks very stylish and elegant. However, platinum wedding rings are the most
expensive, but if the couple considers the fact that it is something that will
last them a lifetime, then the cost probably would not really matter.
Titanium is a popular
material especially for wedding rings for men.
It is light, long lasting, and is not as expensive as platinum. Titanium wedding rings are similar to white
gold rings in appearance. The only
different is that titanium wedding rings are so light you can hardly feel it
when worn on your finger.
As for the unique wedding
rings style to choose, there are the traditional plain bands, the more elaborate
ones with beaded edges. There are also
the modern designs of two-tone wedding bands.
The Celtic wedding rings engraved with ancient knot work are also hot
these days. Solitaire rings with a
precious stone are also classic designs for wedding bands.
Often times, the bride
may want to match her wedding ring with the engagement ring. Of course, this is also something that has to
be taken into consideration, especially is she wants to wear both rings on the
same hand.
In choosing for a
wedding ring, foremost consider your budget and then decide on the
material. Also, having to wear your
wedding bands for a really long time, it is also worth considering choosing
something that would best work with your clothes and the other jewellery you
usually wear. Above all, choose a wedding ring that you will be most
comfortable in wearing.
Good luck on your
wedding ring shopping!
