Put Away the DIY for Creative Ring Pillows

Creative Ring Pillows for Every Style

Creative Ring Pillow

Not everything creative and inspired (such as creative ring pillows or flower girl baskets) has to be a DIY adventure on your wedding day. While it’s fun to craft swizzle sticks for your cocktail hour and balloon save-the-dates, some of the more intimidating details (such as things that require sewing materials or a soldering iron) should maybe be left up to the professionals. If you’re up to the challenge of crafting your own creative ring pillows, by all means, go for it. Creative ring pillows, however, are still original and awesome when they’re put together elsewhere. It’s being used in YOUR wedding – that’s why it’s your detail. Creative ring pillows don’t have to be restricted to pillow form, either. Many couples are finding that beautiful and inspired ring boxes make wonderful creative ring pillows. It’s all of the beauty with none of the fluff. Creative ring pillows can also reflect the theme of your day – western ware, winter wonderland, or even rustic vintage lovebirds. So whether your dream creative ring pillows are covered in seashells or shaped into an oversized lily, know that we’ve got you covered; no need to bust out the glue gun.

Things to Consider for your Canine Ring Pillow

Canine Ring Pillow Tricks and Considerations

Canine Ring Pillow

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 Time for a Unique Ring Bearer Pillow

A Unique Ring Bearer Pillow for your Ceremony

Unique Ring Bearer Pillow

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!).
