How To Choose The Right Wedding Ring

After the most perfect proposal and receiving the engagement ring of your dreams, finding a wedding ring to match will take some time. Consider these tips before you start to shop…

What’s Your Style?

Are you a platinum woman, or will a warm gold suit your skin tone? Have a think about what metals you like and if you’d like something detailed or simple. Consider if you want your band engraved, heavily embellished or finished with glitzy gemstones before you start ring shopping, so you can put more of your efforts into the style you like. And if you’re not at all sure what type of ring you want, start dreaming! Take inspiration from Pinterest and other sharing sites that might give you a few ideas of what ring would suit you.

 

To Match Or Not To Match?

Do you want your wedding band to match your engagement ring, or just complement it? Would you like you and your husband to- be’s bands to match metals, or take on your own unique styles? Now is the time to answer all of these questions, but don’t be afraid to take a different stride. You and your partner’s rings could entwine two different metals to represent your individual personalities, meaning you could always have them connected to you on your finger. How romantic!

 

Budget, Budget, Budget!

Just like any other part of your wedding planning, you will need a budget. You might want to research a little into how much your dream ring might cost, before creating an unrealistic budget and being disappointed. Set aside enough of your wedding funds to go towards a ring that you love as you will be wearing it for a long time to come. Take into consideration how much it will be to insure your ring too.

 

Lifestyle Choices

Ponder your day-to-day lifestyle before committing to a specific ring. Certain metals will be better for different people, so if you’re always on the go and want your ring to feel extra durable, go for platinum and avoid stones that may fall out or get dirty. Or if you’re someone who uses their hands a lot and wants a ‘comfort’ choice, try a flatter band with more rounded edges so your ring slips into your life with ease.

 

Make Sure It Really Fits

Throughout all the seasons of the year and among having children and many different exercise regimes, your ring will experience it all. But you will need to make sure it’s sized right in the first place so it can be comfortable during all of these situations. Your fingers will expand and slim down depending on the weather and also your weight, so go and try on your ring on different days or in different heats so you can work out what size will be most comfortable for you the majority of the time.

 

Think Ahead

Most people wear their wedding bands all day, every day for 50+ years. So when choosing your dream ring, you will need to consider if you’ll still like it in years to come. It might not be best to listen to the latest jewellery trends as they are likely to become less popular over time and you don’t want to get stuck with a ring you no longer like. Choose a ring because you have fallen in love with it, not just because your friends love it at the time. Also, don’t forget to get it insured!

 

Don’t Forget The Upkeep Of Your Ring

After all the time you will spend wearing your ring, don’t expect to have it looking totally sparkling year upon year without any maintenance. Embellishments, gemstones and engraved rings will take more work to make them look new again, so research into what you can do to keep them clean. (And if you’re not sure you can commit, ask your jeweller about what type of wedding bands are low maintenance!)

So you’ve postponed your wedding, once, maybe twice. You might have lost deposits and your suppliers. You might be feeling just a little bit over it, and, well, we can’t blame you. It’s been a difficult and uncertain 12 months for couples to be and with restrictions finally lifting you might be feeling the pressure to produce the wedding day you envisioned before the lockdowns and the social distancing.

But what if you don’t want that anymore? We’re chatting today about the joy of smaller weddings – whether it be a registry office or your back garden you can still have the day of your dreams on a micro budget and scale.

All you need is love.

Smaller, intimate weddings are actually getting a lot more popular as it’s your chance to surround yourself, and create everlasting memories with just your closest friends and family. You get to spend quality time with the people who mean the most to you instead of trying to talk to a hundred different people and missing out on just enjoying your day.

Postponed Your Wedding

So what are your options?

Registry office

Registry office wedding are popular for couples on a budget, but they don’t have to be boring and plain!

You can fully customise the ceremony to your style by dressing up (or down) for the occasion, writing your own vows, playing your choice of music, and depending on your local registry office you might be able to bring in some decorations and personal touches. It may be more limited than a wedding venue but you can still make the day feel special.

This leads us on to…

A garden wedding reception

In the UK you can’t legally wed in your garden but there’s nothing stopping you from putting up a gazebo and hosting your wedding reception. Bunting, music, fairy lights and a fire pit will transform your ordinary garden into a magical setting for celebration.

The possibilities are endless; bbq, afternoon tea, party food buffet, cocktail station…make it your own style and relish the fact that you can pop the kettle on and fall into bed as soon as your guests leave!

Restaurant wedding reception

Perhaps you got engaged in your favourite restaurant…why not go back there to celebrate your nuptials? Book up a few tables for your selected guests and have a magical evening with delicious food, champagne and the company of your favourite people.

A micro wedding also means a micro budget – you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy your dream wedding! High street shops now stock bridal collections, your mums homemade cupcakes are as good as any wedding cake, pizza makes a wonderfully alternative wedding breakfast, and with our classic wedding rings starting from just £137 you’ll be able to splash out on a fabulous honeymoon destination – we think you more than deserve it!
