A wedding is an occasion of great joy. The day would not be enjoyed thoroughly, if the event went without a wedding cake, family and flowers. But the marriage cannot be sealed without two very special items, obviously the wedding rings.

The rings may be passed down from generation to generation. Or they may have been bought at a great cost to bring extra importance to the occasion. It is only when the happy couple exchange vows and rings, does the minister then proclaim that they are ‘husband and wife’.

The rings are of such crucial importance that they aren’t just simply brought to the altar in the ministers’ pocket. Most memorable weddings appreciate the value of the rings so much that they have it brought to the altar on a little pillow – a ring bearer pillow.

Usually a little boy related to the groom in any way brings the rings on the little pillow up to the altar but if it so happens that the groom doesn’t know any young boys, the ring bearer would come from the brides’ side.

Add a little distinction to your wedding to make it more memorable by a unique ring bearer pillow from all others! Your ring bearer will carry it with delight!

Keep your rings safe. What about a pillow which pockets your rings out of harm’s way! Printed on the pocket to conceal it from interested eyes, could be rose petals, just to tack on a little color to bring the beauty out of it.

A pillow bordered with embroidery singles out your wedding from all others! Whatever ethnic background you come from, your pillow can be patterned according to your cultural arts and designs! Decide on your preferred colors to originate an exclusive heirloom that can be carried down through generations to come! This is one way in which you can still capture your cultural heredity and still not lose the importance of the event!

For a beach themed wedding, a pillow carrying not only your rings, but small seashells at the top corner is the ideal addition to honor the beach happiness. Sprinkle a little glitter and ‘bling’ to the shells and it will bring out the sparkle of your joy!

Apart from your pillow, a little more can be affixed. A case, perhaps a small jewelry box, a size small enough to sit on top of your pillow is a good concept. It may be grandmother’s jewelry box passed down from woman to woman in the family. The rings can be placed in it. At the same time, family pride is instilled and reveres the marriage ceremony.

Ring bearer pillows can be made to tone with your wedding colors and theme. The pillows can come in different shapes and sizes. They can be heart-shaped, circular-shaped, square-shaped, but most importantly they carry the two most precious items of the ceremony. The ceremony can also have more than one ring bearer, a ring bearer for the groom and one for the bride. Vary your wedding and make it more distinguished than others!

Instead of the usual floral embroidery that adorns most pillows, be different, and try out more exceptional designs. Coconut trees, palm trees, bamboo reeds, ferns, even maple leaves can grace the pillow nicely. Being unusual animates the wedding!

Try out an Oriental design. When the western world embraces the Asian world and the Asian world embraces the west, what a celebration to appreciate! Weddings worldwide are beyond doubt joyful events. Wedding themes from all nationalities add spark in one way or another. Pillows with a Chinese theme, a Dutch theme, a Korean theme and even a Caribbean theme will never hurt!

Design your pillows with unusual colors. Try a black pillow, a deep purple, a brown even a dark but soft green. Experience your wedding with unusual patterns. What about stripes, polka dots, hearts or even an extraordinary checkered pillow!

Accessorize your pillow with ruffles, lace, beads and sequences. Maybe a symbol printed in the middle of the pillow can appear unique too. A symbol of matrimony – hearts, the initials of the couple intertwined cleverly, a designed coat of arms! A phrase or a proverb that represents marriage can be printed towards the bottom of the pillow. All this calls for bravery to attempt to carry out what is most unusual to normal weddings.

Whatever you decide your pillow to look like, ensure that it blends in with your wedding suitably.

With pride, your ring-bearer will bear in his hands a singular pillow which lies two beautiful rings that will unite two people together forever!
