Kobe. Wedding Rings. November 28th , 2017.
Remember: You`re going to wear this band every day, so the goal is to choose something that seamlessly becomes a part of your life. If you play sports or an instrument, a slimmer ring with rounded edges (appropriately called the `comfort fit`) may make the most sense. If you work with your hands, you may want to search for a simple, solid metal ring and avoid gemstones that can come loose or carvings, which can trap dirt. If you`re super active, go for platinum, which is extra durable (when scratched, the metal is merely displaced and doesn`t actually wear away). Try Something Different. You may love the idea of a braided rose gold ring or a diamond eternity band, but once you get to the store, try some rings that aren`t on your inspiration board. Chat with the jeweler, then let them make suggestions based on what you like and don`t rule anything out. Just like with wedding dresses, you may end up loving something you never thought you would. Wear it around the store for a few minutes and while you have it on, try writing and texting as a comfort test. Think Long Term. While you shouldn`t be afraid of being trendy, make sure the style you choose is something you`ll want to wear for, say, the next 40 years. Just don`t stress too much: You`re not married to the ring and can always make changes to it (add diamonds or go from white gold to platinum) later on to mark a special anniversary. Consider the Maintenance. To keep a wedding band with stones clean and sparkling, you`ll need to wash and soak it in warm sudsy water, then gently brush it with a soft toothbrush or eyebrow brush (too much pressure can loosen the stones from their setting), rinse it and pat it dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Sound like too much upkeep? You may want to opt for a fuss-free gold or platinum ring—simply rub it with a soft, lint-free cloth (chamois works well) and you`re good to go. Size It Right. Most people rarely take off their wedding bands; they wear them through summers, winters, exercise, pregnancies—all times when your fingers swell and contract from heat, cold, water retention or weight gain. To find the right size that will best weather all of those changes, schedule your final ring fitting at a time when you`re calm and your body temperature is normal. That means you should never finalize first thing in the morning (you retain water from the night before), right after you`ve exercised (fingers swell) or when you`re extremely hot or cold (which can cause your hands to expand and shrink). Check for Quality. Quality control applies to all rings, not just your wedding bands. Make sure the ring has two marks inside the band: the manufacturer`s trademark (this proves they stand behind their work) and the quality mark, 24K or PLAT, for example (this proves the metal quality is what the retailer says it is).
Fix it before you post. Use an editing app like Photoshop Express, VSCO Cam or Afterlight. These apps make it easy to experiment with cropping, contrast, saturation and sharpness to get the very best from your digital photo. If all else fails, use a filter. Instagram`s go-to filters made it easy for anyone to take a share-worthy photo. Add your ring selfie, apply that perfect Valencia filter and done. Share! If ever there were a time to be sentimental, it`s now. Write the caption about marrying your best friend, get creative with the emojis and tag the location of your proposal to share on social media.
Arrange Help for Any Guests Who Need It. If you have any ill or elderly guests coming to your wedding, it will be meaningful for them to know you`re so glad they can attend. Show your love by making sure they have proper transportation to and from the airport and your wedding events and that they have a comfortable place to stay. You can ask family members, friends or attendants to help with any pick-ups and drop-offs. Hand These Items Off. Getting married also means having a lot of important things to distribute among your family and attendants. Give your marriage license to your officiant. Present attendants with gifts at the rehearsal dinner. Present parents and each other with gifts. Give wedding bands to the best man and the maid of honor to hold during the ceremony. Give the best man the officiant`s fee envelope to be handed off after the ceremony. Hand off place cards, table cards, menus, favors and any other items for setting the tables to the caterer and/or reception site manager.
Have Your Wedding Attire Ready to Go. Make arrangements at your bridal salon or local cleaners to have your wedding dress steamed—and don`t try it on after it`s been steamed or else it`ll wrinkle again. Store it in the garment bag from the bridal salon and hang it in a closet in a smoke-free and pet-free room. (You can lift the skirt out of the bag—just make sure to put a clean sheet on the ground below it first.) Also have an attendant pick up the groom and groomsmen tuxes. Deliver Welcome Baskets. Whether it`s you or an attendant, deliver your welcome baskets for guests to the hotel concierge. Make a list of names, delivery instructions and any additional information you have to prevent any mix-ups. How to Create a Wedding Communication Plan. You didn`t know you needed one, but having a communication plan could save you a lot of anxiety come the wedding day. How many guests will be at your wedding? Will you have a small, intimate gathering of 30? A large bash of over 500? No matter how small or large your guest list is, you`ll need a way to communicate with everyone you`ve invited just in case things go awry.
Need more inspiration? Consider checking out some of your favorite celebrity wedding rings or plan a brainstorming session with your fiance to talk about different ring styles. By putting your knowledge of each other together, you might come up with an idea you couldn’t have alone - a sign of a great marriage! Don’t forget to have fun with it; this is a great time to let your creativity run wild. Once you’ve got your ideas solidified, it’s time to take the process to a jeweler (one that creates custom rings like Brilliance) and watch them come to life. No part of the process is more enjoyable than that! Choose a Stone for Your Wedding Ring. So you`ve decided on the style for your customized wedding ring, and now you’ve found a jeweler to help you make it.
