So you already have that whole engagement ring situation figured
out. Congrats! Now you and your partner are on the hunt for the right
wedding bands. Kiss the traditional flat wedding band goodbye and say
hello to an exciting spread of beautiful bands for ladies and gents.
From vintage-inspired details for her to edgy engraving for him, choose
your big day band from today's hottest trends.
For Her:
Stack 'em up: Modern brides-to-be are all about the stacking style right now. Why settle for one band to flank your sparkler when you can have two, three, four...or more? Diamond bands in particular look great stacked. The best part is that this style gives you options — you can wear the multiple rings without your engagement ring and you can switch up the metals. Plus, you can start with one band on your big day and then have your partner gift you new bands on anniversaries and other monumental life moments.
Vintage vibes: This year, what's old is new again. Brides are loving the delicate and elegant look of vintage-inspired diamond bands. The round stones, the milgrain detailing, and the side-view of these rings will definitely get you attention for all the right reasons.
Mix up those metals: If you have a white gold diamond ring, up your ring finger's wow-factor by adding a rose gold wedding band. Or, add a band that offers both hues. The two-toned look is very popular right now because it gives ladies the chance to bring their unique personalities to their jewelry.
Pavé it up: The pavé setting is a hot trend in wedding bands right now. It's elegant, practical (the stones are securely set as close together as possible), and oh-so-pretty. This look is perfect for brides-to-be who want bling without being too over-the-top.
Colored bands: A wedding band with some color is a great way to make a statement on your wedding day (and every day after). So this route is ideal for anyone looking to standout in the world of cookie cutter bands. Pick your favorite color or look to your birthstone for some inspiration.
For Him:
Diamonds for dudes: They say "diamonds are a girl's best friend," but that doesn't mean they're off limits for grooms. Right now, stylish guys are loving the subtle sparkle and sophistication that a few rocks convey. Vary the size, shape, and number of stones to control (or step up) the bling factor.
Engraving on the inside: Sure, engraving your wedding band isn't anything new, but personalized bands are so on point right now. Your wedding band should be uniquely you, after all. Ask your jeweler to add your names, your wedding date, the coordinates of your wedding venue or a cute message on the inside of the band for a truly one-of-a-kind ring.
Mix up your metals: Most guys only rock one ring on their finger after the big day, so why not pick one that's dynamic? The mixed metal look is a great way to add a little flair to the band without getting too fancy. Go for the two-tone gold look, pair rose gold with charcoal rhodium plate or bring on the black and silver. No matter how you mix your metals, have fun and find the match that fits your style.
Get alternative: Does your guy like the outdoors or is he really athletic? Consider skipping the traditional gold and silver in favor of a sophisticated black tungsten band. Alternative metals are more durable and scratch resistant than gold, so they're made for men who are active. To soften the band's brash feel, look for a band with grooved details and polished edging — it brings in that radiant shine.
