Although a practice we take for granted these days, men wearing bands
during wedding is a somewhat recent tradition that has spread
throughout the Western world, but in some Eastern and Asian countries as
well. Men wearing wedding bands is a tradition that surfaced right
after the Second World War and for some reason, has stuck with us since
then. Before a wedding ceremony, the couple usually goes out and starts
searching for bands that will not only match the style and wishes of
each individual, but also match each other properly.
Men's wedding
bands are usually made out of a simple material, without any kinds of
additional gems, jewels or materials inserted into it. Gold, platinum or
titanium are obvious choices, both because of their exquisiteness and
their great-looking designs. Aside from that, these kinds of materials
last for a long time and are not prone to environmental damage and are
seldom subjected to wear and tear. But the main thing about them is that
they can be simple and still look stylish.
While simple is the
word on most men's thoughts when it comes to bands, recent years have
brought an increase in designer bands for men. These can include
diamonds, gems or other precious metals can be included to give a
certain design to the wedding band. For example, men who are really
passionate about card games can have some sort of cards imprinted on
them, while football enthusiasts can have helmets imprinted. Again, all
of this is left to the groom who can choose his style of men's bands
that best suits his wishes.
As far as the simple design goes,
there's no clear-cut formula for one-size-fits-all wedding bands.
Measurements have to be taken on the spot, but there are a few things
you can take into account when choosing the right wedding band. For
example, the width and thickness of the band: for a comfortable ring, go
for a 4 millimeter wide and 2 millimeter thick wedding band. These are
popular choices around the world, mostly because of their good design,
great feel and awesome look. These dimensions can also be taken into
consideration when choosing men's designer wedding bands. As with
wedding decorations, the venue for the reception, wedding video services and choice of food, wedding bands are choices that belong solely to the bride and groom, together as a couple.
