Unique Wedding Rings - Some Ideas and Options

More and more often couples are looking for something new and different on their special day. From non-traditional ceremonies, to colorful wedding gowns, to cupcakes in lieu of the standard cake, couples are choosing to make their own mark on their wedding day.

So how do you set yourself apart?
Some couples are choosing unique wedding rings to celebrate their unique love. There are a range of options out there when choosing your unique wedding rings. One option is ring tattoos around your ring fingers. You can choose matching designs, complimentary designs or even a special quote to wrap around your fingers. Or, to set yourselves apart even more, get matching tattoos elsewhere and forego the ring idea altogether.

Another popular option is to get custom engraved rings to add an even more personal touch on your big day. You can write your own message, a significant saying, or a meaningful quote. And the engraved message doesn’t have to go on the inside of the ring; now couples are letting everyone in on their special message by putting it on the outside.

Customizing Your Ring Is a Popular Choice
You can even take the idea of a custom ring to the next level and get specially designed rings for you and your mate. The options are endless when you work with a jeweler to come up with a design that is one of a kind. There are some jewelers that specialize in custom jewelry design, or you might even have a friend who designs jewelry for an even more meaningful touch.

Antique stores, auctions (e-bay, too!) and even flea markets are another great way to find unique wedding rings. Not only will you find rings that no one else has, but this way you can also incorporate a little history into your nuptials. Not to mention, this takes care of that whole “something old” conundrum that some brides struggle with.

What if you want something different, but the idea of unique wedding rings is a little out there for you? Some people—perhaps due to their line of work, or an allergy—can’t wear a ring on their finger, so some couples choose to wear their rings on a necklace around their neck, but you don’t have to have an allergy to use this idea. The rings themselves don’t always have to be unique; sometimes it’s the way you wear it that sets you apart.

The Right Choice for You
Ultimately, whatever unique wedding rings you pick, the most important thing is that they should speak to you and your sense of style and self. If the two of you met in a tattoo parlor, what could be more perfect than matching tattoos?

Or maybe the two of you share a love of Shakespeare or French poetry, so a quote would be the perfect way to commemorate your love. The rings should say something about what makes you a great couple, and why you love each other.
