I don’t know when the ring-bowl thing started, but I kind of think it’s adorable. I keep telling Mr. Pancakes that it’s SOO practical even though neither of us takes our rings off before bed. (Yes, Mr. Pancakes has a psuedo- engagement ring of his own.)

Back to the point, it seems like Paloma’s Nest has monopolized the market, and their tasty little treasures don’t come cheap! Now they’ve teamed up with my very favorite calligraphers MMInk to come up with these lovely ring bowls:

{Paloma’s Nest - $52}

Yup, you read that right…$52!!! Turns out I don’t love it THAT much. The good news is that Paloma’s Nest has also teamed up with Anthropolgie to come up with these cute little budget-friendly ring bowls (although they appear to be no longer available on the website).

I was totally sold on the ring bowl until I saw this amazing “something blue” ring pillow. I definitely don’t have a something blue yet, and it would be such a great little addition to the day.

{Emerson Made - $68}

Yup, you read that right…$68!! It’s craziness…so I did a little DIY-ring-pillow searching and found two great options:

I was thinking that I could do a burlap pillow and a pink-chiffon flower with a little bit of blue ribbon. Then I found this super simple ring pillow. It’s just pleated trim and a little bit of ribbon. I went down to MJ Trimmings to check it out, and it looks like I could put this together for just four dollars!

I was thinking that instead of the pink ribbon I could do a little bit of burlap and a little bit of blue ribbon as my “something blue.”

Now what is this I hear about using fake rings for the processional? Is this true??
