Wedding Ring : The History

wedding rings-wedding band
The wedding ring is the final gift a couple will give each other prior to marriage. Some might say that the very first gift a couple gives each other is a promise ring - which most consider a pre-engagement ring. Then as a couple gets more serious they then give engagement rings to each other.

Many couples look forward to the moment when they'll slip a ring on their beloved. The look of love in their eyes, that moment when the ring is on their finger and they realize that they are theirs forever. What most don't realize is that these moments with wedding rings have been happening for centuries. The meaning and symbolism behind a wedding ring is rich and as intricate as its own love story. It deserves to be told so that couples know exactly why they use wedding rings.

This wedding ring is a symbol and throughout time this symbol has stood for love, devotion and at times simply for an arrangement between families. The physical structure of the wedding ring has changed and adapted as different cultures have fashioned it into different forms to make it look beautiful. Some materials are more plentiful in different areas - and other materials or precious metals are considered to be more valuable in other areas. But the meaning behind the symbol has remained the same throughout time and over continents. "I love you" "I want to be with you forever" and "You are mine."

wedding rings-wedding bandA ring in its simplest forms is a circle: meaning 'eternity.' What more could every couple want than the pure desire to spend eternity together? Most couples choose to have a sentiment or romantic saying engraved inside their wedding rings. This makes that universal symbol so much more personal for each couple.

Symbols exist throughout our culture. Even the materials the wedding ring is made out of can be seen as symbols of love and devotion. Most wedding rings include diamonds. Diamonds are literally indestructible; they are the "forever" stone you want to select to represent your love. Rubies are another choice that represents love, passion and preciousness. While the wedding ring itself is seen as valuable - the symbolism of the wedding ring shows that your beloved is valuable to you. By giving them a valuable ring - you are showing the world just how valuable they are to you. In older days - you might also be protecting your 'property' (when women were considered property and possessions).

The wedding ring was worn in later times just as it is today, on the left hand, third finger. This is because of the strong-held belief that the vein in this finger travels directly from the heart. This belief was affirmed as women began wearing their wedding rings closer to their hand and then their engagement ring on that same hand - affirming this belief about this hand being so close to your heart.

wedding rings-wedding bandWedding rings have been worn in many traditions. While the traditions may be slightly different - the sentiment and meaning - to love, treasure and honor one another forever - remains very much the same. In Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Christians, rings are exchanged not at the wedding service - but at the betrothal. The groom's ring is gold and the bride's ring is silver. In Greece rings are exchanged by couples as they are engaged they are worn on the left hand, fourth finger - and at the wedding they are switched to the right hand. In England, a wedding ring has traditionally always been exchanged. This appears to come from the long-standing belief that marriages were made as arrangements to exchange not just love and honor - but goods or property as well. This belief holds true for most European countries.

During World War II and the Korean War it became popular for men to wear wedding rings. This reminded them of the wonderful wife they had waiting at home for them. After these wars, men began to wear wedding rings to show their faithfulness, devotion and love. Now most men wear wedding rings in many cultures around the world.

wedding bouquets-wedding favorsPassport to love. If your idea of a fun wedding is a destination far away, then your theme can convey this with wedding favors that are shaped in the travel theme. Look for wedding favors that look like passports, tickets or passes - they can be personalized with the bride and groom's names, the wedding date and a little note to thank your guests for sharing your special day. The favors can be attached with ribbons to little suitcase shaped tins or favor boxes in the shapes of palm trees, boats, or seashells. If you are planning a beach or island destination, there are wonderful wedding favors like personalized sunscreen; playful dolphins bottle openers, sweet sandalwood fans.

Sail away. As part of your destination wedding, you may be planning to spend the night on a lovely cruise ship either strolling the decks in the moonlight or at one of the ship's clubs dancing the night away with your guests. It's always a nice touch to provide your guests with a little memento of this evening with sailboat shaped wedding favors that come in many forms, like glowing tea light candle holders, bookmarks or place card holders that can display photos of this adventure later on.

Miles of memories. A destination wedding may be one of the most romantic and memorable of all the weddings in the world.

Wedding Accessories : Choosing the Perfect Wedding Jewelry For You

Bridal accessoriesThere are a number of things to consider when deciding on the perfect wedding jewelry. You want the pieces to complement your wedding gown, so that must be selected first. Once you have the perfect wedding dress, then it is time to accessorize.

The color of your gown will play a part in the jewelry you select. Gold jewelry can often clash with a bright, white gown, so it's better to stick with pearls or platinum jewelry. A diamond-white gown is just barely off-white. Gold can go with it, but so can silver, rose gold or pearl. This is probably the most versatile color. An ivory gown can appear to have almost yellow undertones, so wearing white pearls can make it appear dingy or dirty. An ivory gown looks best with gold jewelry.

The next thing to consider is the cut of the neckline. A sweetheart neckline or a strapless dress can look good with or without a necklace. If you opt not to wear a necklace, then make up for it by wearing a fabulous pair of chandelier earrings. You can go with clear crystal for a sleek, modern look or make it a little more fun by adding a splash of color. Much of this will depend on your personality and the overall style of your wedding.

Wedding accessories

A V-neck dress begs for a necklace. You can choose a pendant or a choker, depending on if you want a simple, classic look or something more elegant. Make sure that the earrings don't upstage the necklace though. A halter or reverse halter dress doesn't really need a necklace, but definitely some stunning earrings. This style of dress looks great with a dramatic updo hairstyle, so the earrings will be on full display. You can also accessorize your hairstyle with some decorative pins and hair jewelry. Just make sure it doesn't clash with the earrings. Even incorporating a matching bracelet into the look is attractive.

Just remember that whatever jewelry you choose, don't overdo it. It's tempting to deck yourself out as much as possible, but you don't want your jewelry to outshine or upstage you! Your wedding accessories should complement your dress and style, but they are only accessories, not the main event!

Your wedding jewelry should be a reflection of you and your personality. If you're not a large, dangly-earring kind of girl, then stick to simple studs. It's your day, so you need to wear what makes you happy, whether it fits the "rules" or not. If you're going to spend money on jewelry for your wedding, you don't want to just wear it once. Make sure that it's something you can pull out for special occasions again and again.
