To Have and to Hold

May 26th, 2008 @ 2:55 pm by Mrs. Jasmine

Saturday afternoon, Mr. Jasmine and I set out to the Oakbrook Mall to purchase our wedding bands. It was taking us forever to find bands that we (1) loved and (2) could afford. We were lucky enough to find a beautiful band for each of us during this trip (or was it just the pressure of knowing we’re getting married in two weeks!?!). And then I remembered a purchase I made several months ago: an orb to hold our bands!

Early this year, I purchased the highly coveted and oh-so-pretty “to have and to hold” orb. I purchased mine from Everyday Artifact. The didn’t have any with a blue interior, so I chose a lavender exterior instead. I think it really nicely complements the bright copper exterior.


Since our parents are going to stand beside us during the wedding ceremony, I’m going to ask my mom to hold one half of the orb with Mr. Jasmine’s ring and his mom to hold the other half with my ring. I anticipate the orb being a beloved keepsake after the wedding and it’s certainly lovely enough to display in our home.

And here is a shot of Mr. Jasmine’s very heavy and very handsome platinum wedding band:

I promise to have photos of my band soon! What are you using to your hold your rings?

I got the white ceramic “to have & to hold” bowl from etsy seller palomasnest. We’re doing a ring warming, and I like being able to see the rings but still having them secured with a ribbon.

We’ll also be using the ring bowls from Paloma’s Nest. I think it’s a nice twist on the traditional ring bearer pillow.

Ooooh how nice Miss J! I love the copper exterior, but you know me and my attachment to all things shiny! And what a spiffy ring for Mr. J.

I’ve got this exact orb (new in box) from Everyday Artifacts just recently purchased. I’ve decided to go with a dish my mom gave us to carry our rings instead. According to the EA owner, they no longer carry these and are hard to come by. Copper exterior, lavendar interior. Let me know if you’re interested.

Future Mrs. B, are you still selling your orb? I’m interested to taking them off your hands.
