Wedding bands are more than just pieces of jewelry – they are symbols of the bond and partnership you are making on your wedding day. Because they are so important, you should place a great deal of time and consideration into choosing the right bands for you and your spouse. From gold and platinum to antique and diamond, the possibilities are endless. With this guide, you will learn a few wedding band trends that may work for you and your spouse.
Stacking
A simple band made out of gold or another metal is traditional when choosing a wedding band. However, more and more people are choosing to wear multiple thinner bands that can be stacked on top of one another.
Choose from a variety of bands in different colored metals with or without gemstones and decorative scrollwork. If you are wearing an engagement ring, as well, make sure the wedding bands complement the engagement ring when stacked together.
Color
Most people assume gold and silver tones are the only options for their wedding bands, but that is not entirely true. You can make your wedding jewelry pop by choosing bands with more color.
Rose gold is becoming a popular option because it offers a classic look without overwhelming your hand with color.
You can also incorporate colored gemstones into your wedding bands and engagement ring. Consider rubies or sapphires to make bold statements. Also, consider choosing gemstones that symbolize birth months or the month of when you got engaged and when you are getting married.
Wording
Your wedding bands can make big statements without using words. However, your bands can make statements with actual words, as well.
Instead of a plain gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, titanium, or silver band, consider a band that is shaped in a special word or phrase that is suited to you and your spouse's relationship. Forever, love, and soulmates are all good examples.
If you prefer a more traditional way to add words to your wedding bands, opt to have special dates, quotes, lyrics, Bible verses, or other meaningful words engraved onto the interior of the bands. The wording may not be seen by others, but you and your spouse will know the meaning and importance of the wording.
Wedding bands should be considered investments that symbolize you and your spouse's partnership. Contact a jewelry store that offers wedding bands for more information and personalized guidance.
