Wedding planning can come with a long list of things to organise, but choosing your wedding rings doesn't have to be one of the stressful parts.

We recommend starting to look around 6–4 months before your wedding. This gives you plenty of time to try on different styles, decide on the details and, if you're looking for something more unusual, explore a bespoke design.

How long do wedding bands take to make?

A wedding band typically takes around 4–6 weeks to make, although some can be completed more quickly depending on the design.

Starting 6–4 months ahead gives you time to consider everything without having to rush your decision. It also leaves room for details such as engraving, sizing or any adjustments.

What should you consider when choosing your wedding bands?

Once you've started looking, there are a few things worth thinking about:

How it works with your engagement ring

Your wedding band doesn't have to match your engagement ring, but it's worth trying the two together to see how they sit. You might prefer a flush fit, a small gap or a completely different style.

Your metal and width

Platinum, yellow gold, white gold and rose gold all create different looks, while the width of your band will affect both its appearance and how it feels to wear.

Whether you'd like it personalised

Engraving can add a meaningful finishing touch, whether you choose a date, initials or a personal message.

Whether you want something bespoke

If you have a particular design in mind, starting early gives you more time to create something specifically for you and your engagement ring.

Is 3 months enough time to buy wedding rings?

It can be, particularly for a straightforward design, but we wouldn't recommend leaving it until the last minute.

If your wedding is less than four months away, get in touch as soon as possible. Depending on the design and availability, we may be able to work to a shorter timeframe.

When should you buy your wedding rings?

Our advice is simple: start looking around 6–4 months before your wedding.

It gives you enough time to find something you love, personalise it if you'd like to and have your rings ready well before the big day.

And once they're sorted, you can tick one more thing off your wedding to-do list.
