5 Alternatives to Traditional Wedding Rings
Content here
If you’re getting married soon, you may be expected to opt for wedding bands as a sign of your love and commitment for one another. However, for some people, wedding rings are not an option, or a more unique approach is favoured.
Fortunately, there are a number of fantastic alternatives for those who don’t want to, or can’t, wear a wedding band. If you’re looking for a non-traditional way to show your love and commitment, we’ve put together other possibilities you could try.
Necklaces
If you don’t like the idea of wearing a ring every day or can’t do so for medical reasons, a necklace could work for you. Necklaces can be comfortably worn every day and is less likely to fall off or get lost. You could put a wedding band onto a chain or could choose an infinity symbol or heart to symbolise your love for your partner. Alternatively, why not get your wedding date or partners name engraves onto your necklace?
Tattoos
A more permanent commitment, many people, particularly of the younger generation, are opting for tattoos on their ring finger to symbolise their wedding day. With the help of the right tattoo artist, you could opt for a unique, intricate design on your ring finger; the options are endless! It is important to remember that tattoos are permanent and can only be removed through painful tattoo removal procedures!
Wedding Certificate
Many couples feel like they don’t feel the need to wear a wedding ring to symbolise their love and commitment. After all, there are only two people involved in a marriage. If you don’t want to show off your recent marriage through jewellery or tattoos, why not frame and display your wedding certificate in your home? It’s a much cheaper alternative to other symbolisms and can help you to reminisce every time you see it.
Silicone Wedding Band
If you’re worried about wearing an expensive wedding band every day, silicone wedding bands are a great idea for those who still want to wear a ring to symbolise their marriage. Sometimes more active jobs can cause rings to come loose and lost, or alternatively those who work with machinery may not want their ring to get caught. Silicone wedding bands can be easily replaced and won’t cause any damage, whilst still being a sign of love and commitment.
Unique Wedding Bands
Perhaps you do like the idea of wearing a wedding band, but aren’t keen on the traditional, plain silver or gold rings.
