Choosing the perfect wedding ring is a vital part of the journey, just like choosing the perfect engagement ring, the proposal venue, the church, and the list of guests, couples pay close attention to every detail. Aside from all the important factors in picking a pair, soon-to-wed couples may add a personal touch by including their love story to one of the most important symbols of their commitment, and promise on their wedding day.
Here are a few of the things to consider when choosing your wedding rings:
- Timeline - The search for your wedding rings should begin at least three to six months before the wedding. This timeline allows you to explore your options, including having bespoke or custom-made rings done. Find or customize the ring design that best represents you and your partner's love story. This allowance allows you ample time for revisions and adjustments, as well as gives enough room for any additions to the design you've chosen, such as engravings. Rushing the process might lead to settling for less than what you truly desire.
- Consider your lifestyle - Your wedding rings are something you'll be wearing daily, so it's important to choose a ring that suits your lifestyle best. Couples with an active lifestyle are advised to pick more durable metals such as platinum. Scratches are less visible on satin finished wedding rings than glossy ones, so it's another thing to consider. Ensure that the design you choose can withstand your daily activities.
- Style - Some couples go for the classic plain bands while some go the more personalized route. Make sure to communicate on whether to choose one over the other. At a time when almost everything can be customized and made specifically to your liking, it's also one thing to consider whether you want your rings to match perfectly or get each other pieces that represent your personalities.
- Set a budget - Wedding rings come in a wide range of prices, and having a budget helps narrow down your choices. Prices depend on an array of factors, and although having a flexible budget gives you more room to choose, setting one would help you decide better and easier.
- Shop together - Choosing an engagement ring is meant to be a surprise. This, however, has now become a team activity. It is now part of the beginning of your journey as a couple and one of the first of many decisions you'll have to make together. It's a part of the whole wedding experience, so make it a memorable one. Decide on it together, and choose rings that fit your partner's personality and represent your love story the best.
