Planning Your Wedding.
When it comes to planning your wedding there is just so much to think about and plan and so many decisions to be made. If you do an Internet search on, for example, wedding cakes, you will be bombarded with literally thousands of websites and nobody has the time to scroll through each and every site trying to find the right supplier. So how do you find the right wedding suppliers for you? Over the next few weeks I am going to be sharing with you a few of the companies that I recommend to help make your wedding day perfect (no surprises who I recommend for the photography!).
The History Behind the Custom.
The origins of the wearing of a wedding ring begins back in ancient Egypt. The ring, being a circle and having no beginning and no ending, was a symbol of eternity to the Egyptians. Even the hole through which you put your finger had meaning. It symbolised a door or gateway leading to events unknown, and it is therefore not surprising that this symbol of eternity became common as a gift of love in the hope that the couple's union may take on the eternal characteristics of the ring.
The Egyptians wore the ring on the third finger of the left hand as it was believed that this finger contained a vein which lead straight to the heart so it was thought the most appropriate finger on which to put this symbol of love, and this tradition carries on today.
The Wedding Ring Workshop.
When it comes to choosing your own wedding ring, the designs are endless. Everyone looks for something unique, beautiful and meaningful to themselves and what could be more meaningful than making each others wedding ring? No, I'm not talking about a Blue Peter job with tin foil, I mean a real piece of jewellery, made of gold and hand made by you. Tucked away in Hatton Garden in London is a wonderful little place called the Wedding Ring Workshop. Here you can spend a day being guided by experienced ring makers through the process of making your rings, from melting the ingot of gold, through to milling, shaping, welding and polishing. Its a fantastic and fascinating day well spent and you will be amazed and proud of the beautiful rings you make. While you are making your rings they spoil you with Champagne and nibbles, and take you off for some lunch afterwards. Its a really fantastic experience and makes your wedding rings unique and so much more personal . Give their website a visit at http://www.weddingringworkshop.co.uk/
