Bling, Bling


A bride knows that there are plenty of details that revolve around her, like the color scheme, the dress, and the wedding cake, but there is one detail that focuses her attention on her soon-to-be-husband. This is the wedding band. As girls, we spend countless hours thinking about what we want the engagement ring should look like. In the midst of all the wedding planning, it is important to think about the ring you will be giving your husband. This ring not only symbolizes the love you have for each other, but it is a representation of them in jewelry form. No matter what you choose, make sure that you pick the ring that is meant for him, one-of-a-kind.

One of the first things that you should consider when picking out a ring is what the day holds for your husband. Is he at a job that is rough on the hands or does he have an office job? Each has a more practical use, like platinum is more durable than gold and might be better suited for a man with a hands-on job. Also, considering choosing a different finish, such as brushed because matte finishes tend to show scratches more. Next thing to consider would be the shape. Comfort is a must these days and rings are no exception. It is becoming more and more popular to have a curved surface on the inside of the ring, rather than a flat surface. This allows for more comfort. Surprisingly enough, more and more women are choosing to give rings with diamonds in them. Though it probably doesn’t change the meaning of the saying “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”, it is becoming more acceptable for men to have some glitter on the ring. These diamonds are usually black, champagne, or yellow, which leaves the crystal clear diamond for the bride. Plus as a bonus, they usually tend to coordinate with the bride’s, which is just another reason to pick the perfect pair of rings.

As a bride, the wedding planning is all in the details and the little things. Picking out a ring is no exception. So, make sure to give yourself enough time to pick out the right ring. This will be with him forever as a constant reminder of your love for him. Remember, a little bling never hurt anyone.
