Weddings in every culture have their own unique traditions and customs. In Western weddings, it's traditional for a ring bearer, usually a young boy, to carry the wedding bands to the altar on a ring pillow. You should place a lot of thought into choosing the colors and design of your ring pillow so it's both functional and beautiful. Read on to learn how to choose a wedding ring pillow.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Pick a color for your pillow. White and ivory are the most common colors, but some weddings also use the wedding colors or even bright and unique colors.
Step 2

Decide what shape you'd like for your wedding ring pillow. Most pillows are small squares, but you can also find heart-shaped pillows if you prefer something other than a square.
Step 3

Choose a design that matches your own personal style. Some wedding ring pillows are simple, elegant satin, while others are adorned with beads, pearls, jewels and lace.
Step 4

Purchase a ring pillow with ribbon to tie the rings to, especially if you'll be using a young child as a ring bearer. This helps prevent the rings from getting lost and adds a touch of elegance to the pillow design.
Step 5

Speak to a tailor or wedding planner about a custom-made ring pillow if you can't find one that you like.
