All brides have a distinct idea of how they want their wedding and wedding bands will depict their personal style and flair. For some brides, this may mean that their wedding day is filled with frills and excessive embellishment, and for others this may mean leaning toward a more organic down-to-earth look. Whether it’s by being surrounded by nature or just celebrating life in the outdoors, country themed weddings — and by extension country wedding bands — are all about being humble and appreciative for the things around you.
Inspired by classic American western style and the weddings of Country music celebrities such as Jake Owen, Miranda Lambert, and others, Country-Rustic themed weddings are becoming one of the most popular options for today’s modern bride. Natural textures such as trees, bark, grass, wood, are heavily incorporated into country themes to accentuate the rustic feeling as well. Just look on Pinterest and you’ll find thousands of dream-wedding boards dedicated to creating the ideal fairy-tale country wedding, but as anyone will tell you, no wedding planning can be absolutely complete without the ideal wedding bands that perfectly encapsulate a bride’s distinctive and unique personality.
To help in finding the wedding band perfect for any “down-home” rustic wedding, here are a few wedding band ideas that are sure to satisfy every country bride.
1. Vintage Wedding Bands with Modern Twists
Within the past few years, contemporary wedding band fashions have ranged from bands that are simple and unadorned (think your grandparents’ rings), to pieces that are more diamond-encrusted then their engagement ring counterparts. Taking a little bit from both sides of this spectrum of bridal aesthetics, wedding bands featuring understated adornments including pave, channel, or bezel-set diamonds are perfect for bringing a subtle hint of glamour without sacrificing any eternal ring elegance and sophistication. Eternity wedding bands offered by modern day designers, such as Tacori and Michael M, are a perfect representation of how antique looking rings have evolved to keep their vintage look, while at the same time combining elements of contemporary fashion. Vintage-style wedding bands have become so increased in popularity not simply because of the fact they look “old”, but more because they are extremely detailed in designs that modern wedding bands lack.
2. Floral/Nature-inspired Wedding Bands
How’s the old saying go, “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl”? Understanding this adage, contemporary designer including Tacori, Hearts on Fire, and especially Simon G., are creating diamond rings that reflect the natural landscapes that surely inspired them.
Available today are tons of nature-inspired wedding bands that feature smaller, eternity-style, twisted bands, that are intertwined to resemble bird nests, vines, and other woodland essentials, these sorts nature-inspired rings are perfect for brides whose dream wedding leans more on the pastoral, peaceful, range-life side.
3. Non-Diamond Adorned Wedding Bands
Perfect for brides move to the beat of their own country drummer, those women who live life to the fullest, and idolize Dolly, Reba, and Patsy, the typical diamond wedding band just won’t do. If this sounds like you—or someone you know—try alternatively styled eternity bands by Tacori or the men’s and women’s bands from Michael M, who have begun integrating gemstones other than your standard white diamond such as beautiful turquoise, deep-blue sapphires, as well as especially-distinctive black diamonds. Bands like these are unique from the common fashions of wedding bands you usually find at most of today’s retailers.
