Forever Starts Here: Wedding Ring Trends, Tips & FAQ's

Introducing Forever Starts Here ✨

A weekly wedding-focused series designed to help couples feel more confident, inspired and informed when choosing the rings they'll wear forever. Every Wednesday from now through June, we'll be dropping expert tips, style secrets and behind-the-scenes looks at our workshop. 

To kick things off, our very own, Gemma Murphy, sat down with one of our Wedding Ring Specialists, David, to chat through some common frequently asked questions couples have when starting their wedding ring journey. 

Your Wedding Ring FAQ's: The Highlights

What Wedding Ring styles are couples choosing right now?

When it comes to bridal trends, we’re seeing a huge rise in the “old money” aesthetic - think timeless and elegant.

For ladies, wider and chunkier bands are becoming increasingly popular, with many brides opting for slightly heavier and thicker styles for a more statement look while still keeping that classic feel.

For gents, the trend is definitely leaning towards minimal styles. Plain court bands remain a timeless favourite, while modern metals, such as Zirconium, are rapidly becoming a go-to choice for the modern groom. We’re also seeing more men choosing traditional yellow gold bands for a classic finish.

Whether your style is contemporary, traditional or completely unique, explore our extensive range in-store by booking an appointment, or browsing a curated selection of our favourite styles online.

When should you start shopping for Wedding Rings?

One of the biggest pieces of advice is: don’t leave your wedding rings until the last minute!

We recommend starting your search at least 6 months before your wedding day. While many rings can be ordered within 6–8 weeks, extra time is often needed for resizing, adjustments, bespoke designs or fitted wedding rings.

Starting early also gives you the opportunity to properly explore styles, compare options and enjoy the process without added pressure as your big day approaches.

Can Wedding Rings be personalised?

Absolutely! Personalisation has become a popular way for couples to make their wedding rings feel more unique and meaningful. 

Many brides are now opting for bespoke fitted wedding rings, designed to sit perfectly alongside their engagement ring for a seamless look.

There are so many ways to make your rings feel unique to you, including:

  • Engraving initials, names or wedding dates
  • Hand engraving
  • Fingerprint engraving
  • Bespoke finishes and design details

And if you already have a vision in mind, we’d love to see it. From social media inspiration to carefully curated Pinterest boards, our specialists can help bring your ideas to life! 

Should you bring your partner to your appointment?

Yes, we definitely recommend it! While brides love browsing styles and gathering inspiration beforehand, it’s important for both partners to attend the appointment when possible, especially for accurate ring sizing and fittings.

Trying rings on together can also make the experience feel even more special and ensures both rings complement each other beautifully.

And for those with busy schedules, we also offer late-night Thursday appointments! You can book an appointment through here.
