Gone are the days of boring gold and silver bands. People are looking for more durable, fun and unique ways to symbolize their love for one another. Luckily, there are plenty of options out there. Think outside the box and the sky is the limit.
Leave Your Mark on Each Other
If you don’t want to stray too far from the classic metallic band, but still would like to add a twist, fingerprint wedding band selections may be a good idea for you. You can actually wear your significant other’s fingerprint on your own finger. It’s a touching way to personalize this important signifier of your loving union. You’ll be carrying a piece of your partner wherever you go.
Forget About Precious Metals
Those who work manual labor, spend a lot of time camping or just enjoy getting down and dirty in general may be worried about wearing an expensive or delicate piece of jewelry all the time. There are stylish and practical silicone bands available for just such an outdoorsy type. If you don’t want to wear one permanently, you might still want to keep these rings on hand to switch out to occasionally if the need should ever arise.
Wear It Around Your Neck
Wearing an actual ring might not be your style. Why not expand to other types of jewelry? You could wear a normal wedding band on a chain, or you could find another type of personalized pendant, like Dimples. If you’re feeling really adventurous, you might even consider getting matching toe rings, earrings or bracelets. You could even get a whole set of wedding jewelry, to give you options for every outfit and occasion.
Make It Permanent
If you’re feeling super solid in your relationship, it wouldn’t be too outlandish to think about taking the plunge and getting a tattoo band, especially if you’re already into body art. You’d never have to take it off, polish it or worry about losing it. It could be as simple or elaborate as you like. Maybe you could even have fun designing it together. If you don’t want a tattoo on your finger, it could be cool to have a symbol over your hearts or wrists.
You no longer need to feel confined by traditional ideas about wedding bands. The only ball and chain in your life is a lack of imagination. Feel free to try some of these out with your partner to determine what is best for you!
