Whether you’ve enlisted the help of a friend, a young family member or a pet to be your ring bearer, the tried-and-true pillow adorned with your wedding bands has been a traditional accent for generations. However, with many engaged couples designing their ceremonies from the ground up, even this humble fixture of your ceremony could be given a dose of personal flair. Ring boxes aren’t relegated to pillows anymore – they can be a wonderful decorative statement on your wedding day and a gorgeous keepsake for years to come. Here are a few of the best we’ve spotted here at Nanina’s in the Park.
- Animal-inspired boxes
Are you and your significant other huge animal lovers? A decorative ring box in the shape of a cat, dog, turtle, bird or any other animal that says something about you and your spouse will be a fabulous addition to your ceremony. You can even incorporate this accent into other aspects of your day, such as wedding reception table décor and other accessories throughout your venue.
- Book Case
This style has become extremely popular, and this is a wonderfully inconspicuous and artful take on the traditional ring box. On the outside, it appears like a small book, but the inside opens up to a small cutaway that will hold both of your wedding bands. If you or your significant other always seem to have your nose in a good book, this ring box will certainly speak to you!
- Glass Box
An ornate glass box is a wonderful way to subtly showcase the wedding bands during the ceremony, and it can even be accented with colorful beads or other materials to enhance its visual impact. Best of all, these boxes will make wonderful pieces of décor in your home. You may even use it to store your fancy engagement rings when they’re not in use!
