To achieve a perfectly matched set of engagement and wedding rings, or if you fail to discover your vision in ready-made collections, you may decide to go down the bespoke route. Costs are often comparable, and you'll be able to ensure the same profile and perfect shape fitted around your engagement ring, allowing the two to sit together in perfect harmony. You'll need a skilled local goldsmith, so be on the lookout for privately-owned jewellers, particularly those who come highly recommended.
The price of gold right now is sky high, so you can save yourself a pretty penny by presenting your jeweller with gold family heirloom pieces that you're happy to have melted down and refashioned into your new wedding rings. This also brings a world of sentimentality and meaning. What about combining gold from both sides of your family symbolising the joining of the two in marriage?
The bespoke process allows you to be involved every step of the way, working with your jeweller to design and bring to life exactly what's in your head. Remember, you're making a significant investment in these pieces, so they should be absolutely perfect for you – no compromises. You can even find some artisan makers who host wedding ring making workshops, allowing you to craft your very own bands. What could be more personal?
When Henry proposed to Sarah four years on from their first date, the venue search for the big day began. "We knew we wanted to get married in Audlem, close to where we both grew up,” Sarah explains. “The challenge was to find a venue close enough to the church. The one we eventually chose gave us free rein to use the building in whichever way we wanted. We loved that the owners were happy for us to treat it like our home for the weekend. It had an intimate atmosphere and provided rooms for 20 of our friends to stay. It was the perfect setting for a fun weekend away with our loved ones.” So, the couple didn't hesitate and secured their date: 31st August 2024.
