The Versatility of Seashell Wedding Decorations
If you’re planning a beach or beach-themed wedding, you’ve no doubt run across one of the obstacles in the wedding planning process – many of the available decorations can get a little cheesy.
A ring pillow is one of those wedding "musts" that you don't really think about until the last minute.
Though most couples tend to designate cute human relatives to fill the role of “ring bearer”, some believe that the only young face they need in the wedding party is covered in fur. A canine ring pillow allows you to designate that most honorable of wedding party tasks to the friend you can always count on – your dog. The difference between a normal ring box or pillow and a canine ring pillow is the fastening mechanism. While young children have to hold a normal ring pillow, a canine ring pillow either fastens to a dog’s collar or has a long enough ribbon that your dog won’t have to hold on to anything.
Pooches of any size can enjoy the convenience of a canine ring pillow; just make sure they’re sized correctly. Take the measurements of a canine ring pillow and try to visualize how it will look attached to your dog on your wedding day. Smaller dogs may be dwarfed by a canine ring pillow that is too large, and sliding may be hard to avoid if it’s heavy around your dog’s neck.
Be sure to designate a bridesmaid or groomsman to be the dog’s handler for the day. You may think that you can keep track of your dog before and after he walks down the aisle, but the last thing you want is your canine ring pillow wrecking havoc through the pews!
The pillow your ring bearer will walk down the aisle isn’t usually a focus for brides looking to up the uniqueness of their day, but a good unique ring bearer pillow is a great opportunity to surprise and delight your guests on your wedding day. A unique ring bearer pillow doesn’t have to be crazy and bright, it’s just a little different. Experiment with your unique ring bearer pillow by trying new textures, shapes, and designs.
A unique ring bearer pillow is especially fun for a seaside wedding. Shells and marine motifs make for interesting textures and colors that can be integrated into your pillow. Choose a unique ring bearer pillow decorated with seashells or embroidered with a seaside scene for your big beach wedding.
You unique ring bearer pillow doesn’t have to be paired with an equally innovative ceremony; a pillow (designed in the shape and feel of a rose or decorated with ornate cherry blossoms) is right at home at even the most conservative church wedding. Every ceremony is the right ceremony for a unique ring bearer pillow (just make sure someone keeps an eye on the ring bearer!).
