Choosing a Wedding Ring Pillow
Many different cultural traditions include the use of a wedding ring pillow used
by a young ring bearer to bring the wedding rings down the aisle. Wedding ring
pillows are usually small, often between eight and ten inches square. They will
usually include some sort of method for attaching the wedding rings, such as a
ribbon or small box. You will find many different styles of wedding ring
pillows, many of which contain trimmings such as rhinestones, pearls, ribbons,
charms, and bows.
Often a wedding ring pillow is used with ceremonial, or fake, wedding rings
instead of the real things, which are given to the best man for safekeeping.
This ensures that the young ring bearer will not lose the actual rings. This
also enables you to securely sew the ceremonial rings onto the pillow as they
will not need to be quickly removed during the ceremony. When the wedding ring
pillow does contain the real rings, one pillow is often used for both rings that
will be used during the ceremony. Some couples, however, will prefer to use a
separate pillow and ring bearer for each ring.
While wedding ring pillows are most often square, you can find them in just
about every shape, including adorable heart wedding ring pillows. There is also
a wide selection of shapes available. Some people will choose to add decorations
to a different kind of pillow instead of purchasing a pillow made especially for
a wedding ceremony.
Remember that your wedding ring pillow will be a part of your special
celebration and most likely in the pictures for all the years to come. Choosing
the right pillow will make for beautiful shots to be treasured as part of your
wedding album. Your wedding ring pillow often will become a treasured keepsake
that will adorn your home long after the ceremony is over.
