What to Look For In Wedding Ring Boxes

Wedding Theme

“The theme of your wedding could play a role in your wedding ring box,” says Amer-Guerrera. “Any sentimental additions, like engravings or personalization, would also add to the significance and potentially turn into an heirloom,” she adds.

The Ring Bearer

“It’s also important to consider who will be carrying the box—is it someone with tiny hands taking on the responsibility? If so, size might be a factor,” says Amer-Guerrera, who adds that if the couple wishes to have their family pet carry the ring down the aisle, “a box with a clasp might be best.”
