Do Couples Pick out Wedding Bands Together?

When you've found the one for you and it's time to get engaged, then comes the question: how do couples choose their wedding bands? Should they do it together, or separately? Blakeman's put together this blog post to tell you all you need to know to answer this common question.

Should couples pick their wedding bands together?

The short answer to this question is: if they want to, why not? These days, it has become increasingly common for couples to participate equally in the process of choosing wedding bands. In that case, it’s only normal for them to sit and discuss their expectations when it comes to these bands.

But it may also be the case that a groom wants to surprise the bride. In that event, it may not be best for him to invite her to participate in the process, as this would spoil the surprise. If that is the case, it's nice to know what the bride enjoys, just to be safe.

So, there is no right or wrong answer. It's entirely up to the couple. And, it may be a good idea to get a sense of what the bride thinks about it - if you're the groom and you're in charge of buying and choosing the wedding bands. If that's part of your wedding plans, you should start by seeing if you want your wedding bands to match.

Decide if the wedding bands will match

Do the two of you have similar tastes and preferences when it comes to precious metals? Also, do you have similar skin complexions and look good in similar hues? If yes, then it may be a good idea to decide to match the wedding bands in terms of the same precious metals and similar models.

But, if the initial answer to those questions is no, then you don't need to worry about matching wedding bands at all! The idea that wedding bands have to match is long gone. These days, what matters the most is that the couple's preferences are taken into consideration. So, if you happen to have different tastes, no worries; you can still pick your wedding bands together, even if they will not look the same.

Picking the bride's wedding band

To define what the bride's wedding band will look like, it's important to first find out if she will be planning to wear it with her engagement ring or not. Knowing that information is essential, because if she wants to wear her wedding band along with her engagement ring, then her wedding band is going to have to match it. This is to ensure that it will look good when worn either on top of the engagement ring, or under it - whichever she prefers.

To be sure about the matching process, speak to one of our experts. They will let you know the best way to combine her engagement ring with her wedding band and make that adjustment so that she will love looking at her rings as she wears them everyday. The reason white gold is so popular among brides is because it looks amazing on any skin tone, so people tend to prefer it – especially if the jewelry they tend to wear is silvered-toned.

Picking the groom's wedding band

The perfect wedding band for the groom should reflect his personal style and preferences. There are plenty of choices to choose from; say, if he enjoys wearing a watch, he could opt for a platinum, titanium or even white gold wedding band, as these metals are perfect matches to the stainless steel featured in most timepieces. And, they have the added plus of looking good on anyone. Another factor to consider is his complexion: the darker the skin color, the better it is suited by metals such as yellow gold and even rose gold.
