Cheat Sheet: When Shopping for a Wedding Band

Let’s face it, shopping for a wedding band is often overlooked and, when finally tackled, can be daunting. With so many styles, it seems like the choices are endless, thus, we’ve developed a cheat sheet of things to consider when looking for one of the most important pieces of jewelry you will ever own.

Will you wear the ring every day? If you want to wear the engagement ring everyday, then the wedding band should mirror the style of the engagement ring. Be sure to consider how the rings look when paired and how well they sit together.

Will you mix things up and sometimes not pair with your engagement ring? If you are not going to rock your engagement ring everyday then perhaps you want a wedding band that is slightly more detailed.

Are you looking for matching bands for you and your husband-to-be? Of course, you do not have to have matching bands, however, if you would like to have similar styles, make sure you both agree on the style of the bands. If you can’t reach agreement, consider bands that compliment each other.

Do you like to mix and match your jewelry metals depending on what you’re wearing for the day? If so, consider two-tone wedding bands that pair flawlessly with whatever jewelry you feel like wearing: yellow gold, white gold, platinum or sterling silver all look fabulous with a two-tone wedding band.

Picking Your Bridal Party

Most of the blogs that appear on this page discuss engagement rings or other type of jewelry by Ritani (besides the celebrity gossip of course).  We pride ourselves on having fine pieces of jewelry available for every special moment in your life.

For this week’s blog, I want to concentrate on the bridal party: the groomsmen and bridesmaids.  Most of the attention is given to the bride and the groom, and we totally ignore those that make the day so special.  The bridal party plays a huge role in a wedding’s success…or its failure.

Picking your bridal party is very important…and after reading this quote that I found on a brides experience with one her bridesmaids will no doubt convince you:

“I went wedding dress shopping with a couple of bridesmaids and had an 11 a.m. appointment at a bridal salon. One of my bridesmaids had been drinking at a christening before our appointment and showed up totally wasted. She was loud, slurring, and grabbing different wedding dresses off the racks. The sales people kept asking her to sit down, but she wouldn’t listen. She finally said that she could tell that she wasn’t wanted there and left. As she was driving out of the parking lot, she hit the sales person’s car and drove away. They took down her tag number and called the police, who came to the scene and interviewed me as part of their investigation. My bridesmaid then called me that afternoon and screamed at me, accusing me of calling the cops on her. She did not recall hitting a car or behaving the way she did. Needless to say, she is no longer a bridesmaid.”

Rule #1: Don’t pick a bridesmaid who gets drunk at a christening IN THE MORNING!!

Rule#2: Don’t let her drive drunk

(These are common sense rules, come on people!)

I’m sure you can find hundreds of other first hand horror stories.

A Real Man’s Wedding Band

Today we’re going to talk about the man’s wedding band.  Most of our time is dealt with engagement rings and other type of jewelry because, lets face it, people are more excited to talk about this than a man band.  Some men feel that they can’t pull off a wedding ring because they can’t pull off the “jewelry look.”  These men obviously haven’t seen Ritani’s collection of classic bands and modern bands!  After putting on one of these rings, you won’t feel like less of a man, but more of a man; a real man’s man.  A man’s man with a wedding band.  Here’s just a taste of the many different rings Ritani offers:

As you can see, every ring is unique in its own way.  Those honeycomb shape rings: they aren’t honeycombs, it’s a baseball diamond!  How about the rings with jagged lines?: Truck tire imprints!  Don’t let the misconception of a man’s wedding band being referred to jewelry fool you.  Visit our website or call a Ritani representatives today to get yours!

Liz Says Engagement Rumors ‘Simply Aren’t True’

Don’t worry fellas, the rumors of Liz Taylor’s engagement to manager Jason Winters ’simply aren’t true.’  Elizabeth Taylor rebunked the rumor on Monday through Twitter, saying, “The rumors regarding my engagement simply aren’t true. Jason is my manager and dearest friend. I love him with all my heart.”  Taylor, 78, and Winters, 49, are reported to be romantically involved, but wouldn’t say anything more on the subject.  Liz’s rep said, “they’ve been together forever and are in love, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they were engaged.”  Maybe one day there will be an engagement ring on her finger.  The question is: who will propose? My money is on Liz.  And if Winters does buy a ring, I’m sure Liz could just take installment payments from his paycheck.  Remember to keep checking back on the latest celebrity news and Ritani engagement rings and jewelry!

Wedding Location-The Skies the Limit

Most couples that are engaged take a good amount of time to decide where they want to be married.  Do they want to stay local or go to some exotic island?  For those who have a small families or are planning on eloping, let me throw out an obscure location…The Grand Canyon!  Let that sink in for a second.  I visited the Grand Canyon this summer and actually witnessed a wedding taking place while at one of the viewing observations.  The bride was in a wedding dress and everything!  As they climbed down the mountain, I thought that if I was going to get married without worrying about a guest list, this would be a great place to tell family/friends/future children.  Wouldn’t you like to say you slipped that wedding ring on her finger one of the greatest landscapes in America?
