The 2010 wedding season is well under way, and this is about the time when many couples are putting the finishing touches on their big day. One of those little details that is often left until the end of the planning is the ring pillow—or, should I say, the ring vessel. Couples are getting crafty (often literally so!) and coming up with fantastic alternatives to the traditional design.
Here are a few creations I adore. All are from various sellers on Etsy, and each design reflects a unique style, from woodsy simplicity to classic elegance. Which is your favourite? I can’t decide!
This collage seems easiest to explain in columns… so:
