Having Fun With Wedding Rings

Typically in weddings, we see fairly traditional presentations of fairly traditional wedding rings. The rings are always looked forward to well in advance, and bringing them out marks the culmination of a wedding ceremony in many ways. However, if you are getting married soon, or even if you are planning a wedding, you do not have to stick to tradition when it comes to presenting the wedding rings. Instead, consider having some fun with them, both in terms of the rings themselves and how they are presented at the wedding ceremony. Here are a few specific ideas.

Personalizing Wedding Rings

• Wedding rings do not have to be simple golden bands. A quick look at a site like http://www.77diamonds.com/wedding_rings.html will show you that you actually have a lot of options for picking out rings. Whether you choose rings with patterns on them, rings studded with diamonds, or even engraved wedding bands, you can certainly personalize them and have some fun with the process.

Wedding Ring Presentation

• One fun way to present the wedding rings is to hang them on the bride’s necklace. This will likely be an enjoyable surprise for the wedding guests, and it puts the rings on full display for everyone to see. When the time comes, the bride can simply slide them off of her necklace and they can take their places on the married couple’s ring fingers.

• Another nice idea to consider is having a special guest present the rings, rather than using a traditional ring bearer. Some examples might be a special grandparent, or even a mutual friend that the bride and groom have shared for years. Having a person like this sitting in the front row to present the rings can result in a very nice moment at the wedding ceremony.

Find comfortable flat wedding shoes for your wedding?

Did you know that many brides think high heeled shoes are sexier just because they saw it on fashion magazine? But the truth is, most brides choose to wear flat wedding shoes and to be safe and comfortable on their wedding day.

Let me tell you how to choose the most comfortable flat wedding shoes for your wedding day.

Tip number one- If you are going to wear a dress that will cover your shoes, try to find a flat shoe with a small heel. This way it will still be comfortable enough for you to walk and dance, but it will also make sure you won't get dirt from the floor on your dress. Remember, if your heels are too high, you might fall of and embarrass yourself in front of your guests on your wedding day.

Tip #2 - If you chose a wedding dress that isn't white (like cream for example) you shouldn't buy a flat wedding shoes of the same color. This will look weird. I suggest choosing a natural color like silver, gold or bronze, this will go with every dress color and will make you look trendy.

Tip #3 - Research online. It takes a lot of time to go through different stores and try different designs. You can start researching on the internet for flat wedding shoes and get an idea of what you like and what you hate. This will help you speed up the process of searching the right pair when you walk into a store.

Searching the right shoes for your wedding is a very important task and if you choose to go with flat wedding shoes, follow your heart and search for the right shoes to fit perfectly to your dress and make your special day memorable.
