How to choose the wedding rings: our tips on the symbol of love.

They are the symbol, which figuratively and spiritually seals your love. You generally wear them on your left ring fingers, because it is believed that one of its arteries leads directly to your heart. And you will wear them together, as long as your beautiful love lasts. You’ve guessed it right, we bet: we’re talking of the wedding rings. Let’s see how to choose the best ones for the two of you.

Classic wedding rings have blunt edges; the French ones are thinner and more convex; the so called Mantuan is higher and flat; there can also be wedding rings with multiple circles. Wedding rings can be made in yellow, white or red gold. The most precious are in platinum. The symbol doesn’t change, but it evolves in its shapes in accordance with fashion. You may want to add a little diamond or a gemstone on it; you may also want to make them more personal, by adding grooves and decorations. Just remember not to wear any other ring on that day. You can of course still wear your engagement ring, but move it on the right ring finger to follow the tradition. The engagement ring should also be made of the same metal of the wedding ring, to keep the harmony.

According to different habits, the wedding ring is the last of a series of gifts that the couple exchanges as an oath sign before getting sacrally united in their marriage. Although the groom is traditionally the one who buys the wedding rings, you may get them as a gift from your best men. The Italian tradition especially sees the best men carry the wedding rings to the altar, or it sees them give the wedding rings to two little kids dressed as pageboy and/or girls, who then bring them to the altar.

During your preparations, remember to pay attention to the wedding rings’ case. Choose one that it’s in line with your wedding’s theme, or with its main style and colors. It could be a tiny little embroidered pillow, whose decorations may recall your wedding dress, for instance. Or it could also be a little porcelain plate with your couple’s initials painted on. Or also a little and portable flower arrangement, why not? Just follow your own tastes, and what makes you feel at ease.
