As the Ring Pillow will take center stage during the passage of vows and rings, you want to choose carefully. You can choose by shape, style, color or by adoration. Take your time and consider the following:

1. Shape: Ring Pillows are usually a standard 8 "by 8" square pillow. However, there are now round Pillows if you want something different.

2. Style: It's amazing how much range of style can be found in Ring Pillows. There are the traditional lace covered ones, the simple white satin, silk and velvet, brocade, and moire fabric. Try and match the pillow to the formality of your wedding. If you are having a traditional wedding with a large bridal party and stunning white gown, then a hand lace covered Pillow or a silk and velvet pillow would enhance your theme. If you are having a more modern look with vibrant colors and styles, then a Ring Pillow with an elegant simplicity would be more in your line.

3. Color: In the last few years, Ring Pillows have discovered color. Vibrant reds, deep purples, pinks and now this year, combinations of brown and aqua. Satin and Organza ribbons accenting the main color are also featured. So stretch your imagination, and play with having a contrasting Pillow color to your main colors. You may still decide that the beautiful satin white pillow is exactly what you want – but you can have fun looking at all the choices.

4. Many ring pillows feature lovely adornments. There are hand-made satin roses or calla lily flowers attached to the center. Others feature crystal or rhinestone shaped accents. Still others feature shells for a beach themed wedding or a cross for a Christian wedding.

5. Heirloom accessories: You can also hand make a beautiful keepsake from heirlooms that have been handed down to you. One bride bought a plain pillow and had it reclaimed in the fabric of her grandmother's wedding dress which could not be worn. It was a lovely and meaningfulful keepsake for the bride that she could then pass on in the future.

So in choosing or making the right Ring Pillow for you wedding, take into account the level of formality of your ceremony, the shape, colors and adornments featured on the pillow and what really enhances your theme. You will end up with a beautiful keepsake that can be treasured and passed on.
