Wedding Style: Wedding bands for the groom

Source: Murray Clarke Photography

Now that your ring finger’s all blinged up, it’s time to pick a wedding band for your groom to wear after you’ve exchanged vows.  As a new Mrs. this was a struggle for my husband and I as we planned our big day but I have laid out some tips to help you along the way. But assuming he’s not a regular jewelry-wearer (like my husband), finding something your guy will commit to for decades to come can be tough. To help narrow the selection, first consider your man’s everyday style. A classic, low-profile wedding band might be better for a laid-back groom, where a flashy guy might want a little bling of his own. Also many times you have no idea who is technically supposed to buy the wedding band, so a tip is to purchase the bands together and add it to your overall wedding budget. You can definitely find a ring that will make your man proud to show off,  that's within your budget and fits his personality. Don't be overwhelmed by the numerous choices because we are here to help!

Tips to picking the perfect wedding band for the groom:

1. Ask yourself, does he like to wear jewelry? If the answer is no, or he's prone to lose jewelry then don't pick something over the top. A subtle band with an interesting finish may be the perfect solution for your groom.

2. Does your groom like a little bling? If yes, then a ring with diamond accents will be right up his alley.

3. What is your budget? Always remember that, a ring is just a symbol of your love and if your budget doesn't allow for the over the top option now, you will have a lifetime together to get there. So don't stress out, there are always 5 and 10 year anniversaries to upgrade your hardware.

4. Pick a style that fits the grooms personality, personal style and something he will want to show off for years to come!
