No Pillows, Please!

August 3rd, 2010 @ 2:50 pm by Mrs. Sand Dollar

I knew from the start I wanted a wooden ring “pillow”. It’s country chic, and super cheap! So I sent Mr. SD to his work ranch in search of a stump. Here’s what he came home with.

A nice raw slice of cedar. If you’re not familiar with cedar, I just want to tell you how delicious it smells. It’s heaven. I sanded it down smooth, cut up 4 ribbons in our colors, and voilà!

Ring holder! I love it. It was simple, easy, and turned out fantastic. And you can check out Mr. SD’s ring in real life. Pretty, yes? He hasn’t seen it yet; I moved to Lake Jackson and he still has three more weeks of school. So this weekend I’ll go for a visit and we’ll see how it fits!

So who’s carrying this beauty? This little sweet pea!

He’s my friend’s son, and is the sweetest, most precious little boy I know. I can’t wait to see him dressed to the nines in cowboy wear; he’ll be absolutely adorable.

What did you choose to hold your rings? Was it traditional or unconventional?

Groomsman’s pocket! :) We didn’t have a ringer bearer. Your ring holder would have fit our rustic/woodland theme perfectly though. Great job!

I love the idea- so cute! However I think I am going more traditional with a pillow since we’ll be in a Catholic church

Your ring bearer is adorable! I am sure he will think it is a lot cooler to carry your wooden ringholder than some little pillow.

We don’t have a ring bearer, so it’ll be in a box in the best man’s pocket. I like your take on it!

Great idea. Cedar is literally my favorite scent ever! And when you smell it later, it will remind you of your wedding day… (sigh)
