All About Wedding Bands
A couple’s love story usually begins with a beautiful engagement ring, then wedding bands are exchanged during the wedding ceremony to express and solidify their commitment to each other. Wedding bands, contrary to popular belief, are not limited to the wedding ceremony, and you are not required to wear just one! Since they are tokens of love, people may wear more than one wedding band as a way to show their love. With that in mind, we’ve put together this guide so that you can take your love bond to another level by showing your appreciation for your beloved with the gift of a wedding band.
First things first: what exactly are wedding bands?
Some people refer to them as wedding rings, but these bands are so special that they don’t need to be worn only upon marriage. It has become a fashion trend for people to add an additional wedding band after the ceremony to signify and symbolize important events or accomplishments for the couple. For example, to celebrate an anniversary, the birth of a child (push present), significant birthdays and many other occasions which the couple may find meaningful.
So letting your creativity flow and surprising your beloved with an additional wedding band that will go beautifully with the one she already wears is one of the most thoughtful and romantic gifts you can give her. Whether this is your first time choosing a wedding band for your wedding ceremony or if you’re reading this and looking for a way to show how much you care, this post is for you.

Where exactly to wear wedding bands?
The consensus in the US is that wedding bands are to be worn on the left hand, namely on the left ring finger. That goes for both men and women. The difference between the two is that women can choose to wear them with or without the engagement ring.
Do the couple’s wedding bands need to match?
In the past, it was the tradition for both wedding bands to be of the same style, as this would represent unity and alignment, resonating with the general idea of a couple being married and spending their lives together. So the traditional choice was to match the wedding bands upon marriage.
Yet, today, the jewelry industry has evolved to craft so many unique styles and designs for both men and women. Wedding bands can be created in yellow, white, rose gold or platinum. They may be simple or accented with diamonds or colored gemstones. Even the finish of the band can be selected in high polished, satin, brushed and more.
Couples have different personalities and preferences, which means the same style may not always suit both of them perfectly.

How to pick the perfect wedding band for her
Most couples come together when choosing their wedding bands. They choose them by asking for opinions and learning from each other. If your sweetheart wants to match her wedding band with her engagement ring, most designers offer a matching wedding band specifically designed to match. She may also look for a wedding band which features some of the same design elements to complement her engagement ring, or she may be interested in looking for a totally different design band to create an eclectic look. The current trend is to create a look that she loves, whether the wedding band and engagement ring match perfectly or whether they interestingly complement each other.
