Celtic Wedding Rings

Celtic Wedding Rings

A fairly new trend in wedding ring design has risen in popularity over the past few years and it’s based on something that is anything but new. Celtic wedding rings, wedding bands and engagement rings that are designed featuring classic Celtic knot work are adorning more and more matrimonial fingers than ever before, perhaps since the days of the Celts themselves. At one time these rings could only be special ordered from specific companies and were very costly. Today, however, with the rise in popularity of ancient Celtic design, many jewelers are carrying Celtic wedding rings and jewelry of all kinds on a regular basis.

The best and most beautiful Celtic wedding rings still come from companies that design the jewelry and do all the work themselves. Special intricate designs can be custom ordered and there are companies that will work your initials into a unique Celtic design for your wedding band... Purchasing your wedding rings from one of these companies can result in your having a true one of a kind ring that is completely unique to you. If you love the Celtic look but want to spend a bit less, however, you can simply go to your closest jeweler and find a Celtic wedding ring that suits your tastes. The method you use is entirely up to you.

Celtic wedding rings take their laced designs from the patterns of the ancient Celts, European peoples in the areas of England and Ireland in the last few hundred years B.C. At one time the Celtic civilization stretched across most of Europe, but it is from Ireland that most of the Celtic traditions and designs have been gleaned. Celtic wedding rings incorporate the most recognizable of Celtic designs, the interwoven lacework of basic shapes, entwined and overlapping in a distinct pattern.

Celtic jewelry, including Celtic wedding rings, first gained popularity with followers of neo-pagan religions like Wicca, but are now worn by people of many faiths who simply like the look of the designs. Influences of Celtic design can be seen in many cultures, traditions, and religions of today, most notably in Roman Catholicism which has long since adopted the image of the Celtic Cross as one of their own. It seems only natural that the intricate, ornate, and beautiful designs of the Celts would once again find their way into popular culture. Celtic jewelry began appearing in mainstream America again about ten years ago, although it has been around in one form or another for ages before that.

Celtic wedding rings and other Celtic jewelry make a statement about the person who wears them to the rest of the world. Wearing it says that this is a unique and different person with their own style and a different perspective. Having a Celtic wedding ring on your finger will let you hear some things as well. Most common is the comment, “Oh my gosh, what a gorgeous ring! Where did you get that?”

BONUS : Cheap Doesn't Have To Mean Cheap!

It is a known fact that weddings don't come cheap. Many weddings are now pushing the £17,000 mark! Naturally, all brides are looking at ways to keep the cost down but keep the quality up and what better place to start than by searching for inexpensive wedding favours? World of Wedding Favours offer fantastic favours of exceptional quality at low-cost prices. Cheap wedding favours can easily be made or purchased ready made yet at highly competitive prices. No bride wants her wedding favours to be of poor quality and guests to remember her wedding as "the one with the cheap wedding favours" and of course this would not be the case if you purchase good quality materials.

If you want your wedding to be first class in every way, there is no such thing as a cheap wedding favour. You certainly get what you pay for although it is possible to find inexpensive wedding favours at certain stores such as World of Wedding Favours. Quality, elegance and class must all precede cost when you are looking for quality wedding favours to supply to your guests. It is important that if you are making wedding favour boxes that they are decorated with ribbons and flowers and filled with high quality almonds, candy, dragees or chocolate hearts. Equally, if you are making traditional bomboniere that the nets are secured with pretty ribbons and the edible contents are of high quality in decor and taste.

You may wish to offer your guests inedible wedding favours such as wedding favour playing cards. Again, these can end up looking like cheap wedding favours if they are not beautifully presented perhaps in a co-ordinating organza bag or a decorated elegant wedding favour box.

Inexpensive wedding favours can clearly be purchased and produced though quality components need to be used otherwise the outcome will be tacky, cheap looking wedding favours.

After planning such a beautiful and successful day, the last thing you want on your mind is your guests leaving your wedding reception thinking that you have cut corners by offering them cheap wedding favours. For example, you can put together some inexpensive wedding favours by organza bags and filling them with a range of confectionery to suit your wedding theme. You may opt for a small wedding favour box filled with colour co-ordinating candy. Both options suggested here are of fabulous quality but reasonably priced. So, you can offer guests inexpensive wedding favours that don't look like cheap wedding favours by selecting the right supplier. World of Wedding Favours are experts at creating quality wedding favours as well as custom orders.
