Summer is here and wedding season is in full force. July is a slower month than June, but come August the number of people walking the aisle increases with September proving to be a strong month as well. The warm weather months are certainly ideal for holding a marriage ceremony with guests finding it easier to plan their busy schedules around an important day of celebration.
If your marriage is still a month or two away and you haven't picked out your rings yet, don't fret. Setting a church, synagogue, or mosque date, arranging the hall, catering, putting together the bridal party, honeymoon, and everything else takes time; now that you have that the bulk of the work has passed, you can spend a relaxing, stress-free time choosing wedding bands.
Finding the Perfect Wedding Rings
every bride has an idea of what ring she wants and, if possible, the ring that he'll be wearing too. If your man is hesitant about wearing a ring, then put aside your plans for matching bands. Though having rings that match can be a wonderful public expression of your love for each other, that shouldn't be a critical point. Many men find rings to be uncomfortable, so if your platinum round pave set diamond wedding ring doesn't come in an equivalent ring for him, don't fret - wear the ring you want and let him pick out the ring that he likes.
Traditional, Contemporary, or Both?
Styles of rings vary from the traditional to the contemporary, with many women choosing to blend both. Fashion designers such as M Danhov understand what brides want and that includes diamonds - lots of them! For example, the Ladies 18k White Gold MY4 by Danhov Diamond Wedding Band represents the ultimate wedding band: four rows of 2.15 carats of pave' set diamonds in white gold. Stunningly elegant, yet amazingly refined, rings from the Danhov Collection are admired and desired worldwide.
Men have many choices too when it comes to wedding bands. The rules have changed to the point where any man, if he likes them, can have a wedding ring that is encrusted in diamonds too. A customized ring can be made that fits his personality and, if your are one lucky woman, match your ring too. One special note: many men prefer comfort-fit rings, those wedding bands which have rounded inner edges to them.
When Ordering Your Rings
On-line ring buying has grown in leaps and bounds because consumers have discovered that they can get the same rings through mail order that they can buy at the local jewelry store. Because retailers like James Allen have a small overhead, the savings are passed on to the customer in the form of lower prices. Moreover, in many cases on-line purchases are delivered state tax free, translating into additional savings for the happy couple. That ring selling for $6000 at the mall jewelry shop could retail for under $5000 on-line!
No matter where you choose to buy your wedding rings, finding a pair that satisfies you both is very important. Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime event, and a day you'll want to cherish forever. Find the right pair of rings and you'll have a forever reminder of your commitment to each other, rings that will satisfy both husband and wife.
