The Laings Journal
Planning your wedding is a really busy and exciting time, but one thing you shouldn’t overlook is your wedding ring. Your wedding ring is a symbol of your marriage and a representation of your unity and love. It can seem overwhelming to embark on ring shopping round two, but this is where we can help you to find a ring that you’ll love for the rest of your life.
A Bridal Set
Buying a wedding ring is all about finding a design that complements your engagement ring. Neither ring should outshine the other and you want to create a beautiful pairing, bringing out the best in both of your rings. When you are purchasing a wedding ring it’s important to try it on with your engagement ring so that you can see how they sit as one. Some wedding sets are made to go together, so it’s worth asking if your engagement ring already has the perfect partner.
Which gold is right?
What metal you want can be a good starting point when choosing a wedding ring. The main metals tend to be yellow, white and rose gold, as well as platinum and palladium. You can go for a matching metal for a more traditional look, but mix-and-match is also becoming very popular. Another thought to consider is whether you want your wedding ring to match your husbands. An easy way to achieve this is by going for matching metals.
The Grooms Ring
Don’t forget that the groom’s wedding ring is just as important as the bride's! This could be the first piece of jewellery that he has worn so you want to make sure it is comfortable, keep it on in the shop for a while, and take a walk around the shop floor. For gents a simple and classic band will always be popular, however there is an array of options out there if he’s looking for something a little different. From mixed metals to pieces with grooves, as well as diamond-set rings, a distinct design may be the one that catches his eye.
A Touch of Sparkle
A diamond-set wedding ring can really enhance the sparkle of your engagement ring. The diamond bands are more typically known as eternity rings, but the glittering pieces have become popular as wedding rings. The dazzling diamonds create a really luxurious look no matter what the style of your engagement ring is. They’re the perfect alternative for anyone who wants to start their married life with a touch of sparkle!
The Countdown
The planning of your wedding is a really exciting and busy time, but don’t overlook the wedding rings! All of our wedding and eternity rings are specially made to order for the perfect fit. Simple wedding bands can take anything from 4-6 weeks, with diamond-set pieces taking even longer. Don’t leave it until the last minute! We advise that you start shopping 3-6 months prior to your big day to ensure you have the wedding ring of your dreams delivered on time.
