Weddingbee Blog

The clock is ticking, but I wanted to squeeze in one more DIY post before the big day. There will be quite a few after we get back since I’ve been too busy to post about a lot of projects recently. I’m a blog slacker, I know.

Anyway, I find myself with pangs of jealousy each time someone posts a picture of a super cute ring holder. I scoured eBay for quite some time looking for something to hold my rings, but nothing ever really jumped out at me (that was in my price range). So, I was forced to resort to alternate methods.

Ring boxes tend to be so bulky anyways, and I wanted something slim and modern, that could easily slide into the pant or jacket pocket of our best man, since we don’t have a ring bearer. Then one day I came across this post on The Dieline showcasing the rings and packaging of AMT studios.

I contacted the company but they were only making black cases at the time. If we got one, it would say ’diamond ring’ on it and there would be a sizing chart on the back. They could do something else, but it would cost a pretty penny. (We are out of pretty pennies at this point.)

The wheels started turning and I ended up with these:

His and hers slimline ring boxes, with our wedding date inscribed on the back. I measured the diameter and height of our rings to ensure a snug fit and cut the pieces out using a laser cutter. I then used spray mount to hold the pieces together. Each ’box’ has a top and a bottom held closed with white elastics. It’s a pretty simple concept, but we are pretty simple people.

Our wedding bands are already up in Maine, but I threw my e-ring in there so you can get the general idea.

Have you found wedding inspiration in an unusual place?
