PLATE

One of the most popular alternatives to the ring cushion is the ring plate. This modern option comes in various shapes and sizes from a classic circle or oval to a sweet heart shape. It usually comes with a hole through which a ribbon or piece of string can be fitted to tie your rings to – you don’t want them slipping off and rolling away!

PADLOCK

This creative option is a really interesting one – comprising of a custom padlock bearing a sweet message or initials, which holds the rings when it is locked. The key within the lock is turned by the newlyweds to open it and put the rings on each other’s fingers, giving a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘key to my heart’.

BOX

Another fun alternative is a custom or personalised box, in which the rings are safely secured until the big moment. The great thing about a box is that it’s sure to keep your precious rings safe, and fits snuggly inside the best man’s pocket for transportation!

RUSTIC

If you’ve got your heart set on a rustic theme for your wedding, there are a number of ring bearing options to consider, from wood slices to pieces of bark fitted with twine to keep the rings in place. This popular style works particularly well in an outdoor setting.

NEST

If you’re getting married in the spring, a cute little nest which can carry your rings safely to the altar is a fun and original option. Using anything from sprigs of fern for some colour or straw for a more aged look, this delicate creation has got to be one of our favourites!

BOOK

Live your very own love story by carrying your rings in a book. This is one you can do yourself – simply take your selected book, carve out a shape big enough to accommodate your rings and glue the pages together – and voila, your very own custom ring bearer book!
