The band symbolises everlasting love and is traditionally worn on the third finger of the left hand.
Ancient Egyptians believed that this finger contained the “vena amoris”, the vein of love, that runs directly to the heart.
Many couples choose a wedding set of matching engagement ring, wedding band and eternity ring, but it is more common, with people choosing to have longer engagements, to buy separate rings.
Start the search by deciding what will go well with the engagement ring.
The gold colours should match and the carat weights should be the same, otherwise a purer gold ring would wear down a less pure one worn next to it.
Simple gold bands are the classic choice, but many variations on this style are now available.
White gold has soared in popularity over recent years and is now the colour of choice for many younger couples because of its versatility when wearing other colours.
Diamond studded bands are becoming popular, but ensure they do not clash or detract from the engagement ring.
Patterned and Celtic style bands are also widely available.
Dual-coloured bands are a fashionable choice, with a smaller band of white gold on a yellow base being a popular current style.
Couples often decide to have a personal message, or initials, engraved on the inside of their wedding band. This gives a personal and romantic individual twist, but if you choose this option it is better to go for a wider wedding band.
For the big day itself, decide whether to buy or hire bridal jewellery. To make a real statement without breaking the bank, hire some stunning diamond earrings and a necklace.
But many brides like to keep their wedding jewellery, and often a simple, elegant solitaire diamond necklace is all that is needed to set off the beautiful dress.
If the bride’s hair is worn up, some beautiful earrings will complement the style well.
Choose the hairstyle well in advance so you can decide what hair jewellery, such as tiaras or elegant slides, will be needed. // My Wedding Planner
