The circular wedding band symbolizes the unending love you share. It's important to select bands that you both will wear proudly for the rest of your lives.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Engagement Rings
  • Bridal Magazines
  • Wedding Bands

Step1
Browse through bridal magazines to get ideas.
Step2
Ask friends and family for recommended jewelers to make your bands. This method is usually less expensive and more personal.
Step3
Select a band that goes with the bride's engagement ring so they can be worn together.
Step4
Ask family members for heirlooms. There just might be an ideal band from a great-grandparent tucked into your mom's jewelry box.
Step5
Try on different widths to see what looks best on your hand.
Step6
Once you've chosen the bands, have the wedding date engraved on the inside. Other sentiments may be added if there's space.

Tips & Warnings

  • Expect to pay from $300 to $1,500 for a man's band, and from $300 to $3,000 for a woman's band.
  • If the band you choose is a family heirloom, preserve the original date, if there is one.
