Ring Bearer Pillows - Stepping away from tradition…

Posted in photos, articles, weddings, Bridal Style, Trend Watch by erin on the June 30th, 2009

The ring pillow or ring cushion has been used for hundreds of years in the traditional Western wedding ceremony. The ring bearer (usually a young relative of the bride or groom) carries the couples’ rings on a pillow or cushion down the aisle where he hands the rings off to the Best Man for safe keeping. Traditional pillows are made out of a white, satin or silk fabric with a string to attach the rings.

Here are some fun ways to bring a modern spin to the ring pillow:

Check out Etsy.com and search Paloma’s nest. You will find custom made ring plates that you can personalize to fit your wedding day. Our clients, Kimberly and Louis, recently wed in June 6, 2009 had their ring bearer carry a ring plate from Paloma’s Nest. This is a keepsake you will have for years and years. One idea is to use it as an ornamental piece, display it in your house as a remembrance of your special day.

Custom made pillows are also very popular where couples will incorporate different textures, fabrics and embellishments that go along with your décor or design.

Wedding Idea: Ask a crafty friend or relative to make you a custom ring pillow or cushion for that extra special touch. They will be honored to be a part of your big day!

Wedding Tip: If you are worried about the ring bearer losing the rings, place “fake” rings on pillow and have the Best Man place the real rings in pocket for safe keeping.
