Wedding Ring Etiquette

Purchasing an engagement ring and a wedding ring is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. If you’re wondering about traditional and modern ring etiquette then read our tips on what to buy, how to wear it and who pays for what.

Who should pay for the rings? Typically, the groom pays for the engagement and weddings ring for the bride, and the bride pays for the wedding band for the groom. Due to current economic situations, many couples are turning to Cubic Zirconia rings as alternative to pricier gems. Offering all the sparkle for a lot less cash, CZ rings are the perfect way to show a symbol of your love without breaking the bank.

Which finger should an engagement ring be worn? The left ring finger is usually reserved for the engagement and wedding rings. On the big day, the bride may choose to wear her engagement ring on the right ring finger, to accommodate the wedding band on her left. After that, she can wear both rings together on the left ring finger.

Some couples choose to wear promise rings before they get engaged. To avoid confusion, these are worn on the right ring finger.

What wedding ring style is the “right one”? This is a question of personal preference. The design of the ring is often dictated by price. Some couples may choose to get CZ rings instead of diamonds, whereas, for other couples, money is no object.

The bride-to-be will usually have her own preference as to the cut and clarity of the stone. With so many settings from which to select, it may take a little shopping around to find the perfect rings. For example, just a few options include: princess cut, trillion, asscher, cushion, heart, marquee, radiant and emerald. The list goes on and on.

Raine looked down at her rough, chapped hands, praying that the fluffy, pink cotton candy wisps in the sky wouldn't become gray and threatening. All too frequent leaden skies poured our constant pinging rivulets that kept Raine running inside the house from bucket to rusty farm pail and then to the abandoned horse troughs she'd dragged from the rotting barn.

Another undesirable feature of the black hair is its low moisture content. This character also makes the black hair more susceptible to weathering. Since the black hair is too curly in nature, it is difficult to comb. It is prone to hair breakage and hair shedding.

Straight hair is just as great as curly hair, because it can be formed into almost anything. Straight hair works great for ponytails, long braids, or even the simple straight down look. Those with straight hair can easily transform into curls or crimps with a little heat, but looks great for the summer with the stick straight look. Long hair works great for when you put your hair up, because it is very transformable and able to be tied back easily.

Typically hair extensions are available in lengths that range anywhere from 26 to 30 inches. So, the exact length chosen can vary. It is important to bear in mind that the longer the extensions, the heavier they are so if too long, the extensions could pull on the hair at the scalp and cause damage. Most importantly, remember that the objective is a natural look. Because of this, general speaking, extensions under 22” are recommended.


A long layered, Jennifer Aniston hairstyle is very easy to maintain, since all it requires is a trim every couple of months. Special products can be used to define the layers, such as a hair wax or spray gel to make the layers look separate from one another. A curling iron can also be used on this Jennifer Aniston hairstyle, since the different layers look great with a little bit of curl in them.

Placing your hair on a high ponytail, just resting over the middle of the crown, can give you a regal look, and this works well for casual or very formal events in the evening. The trick is in the type of elastic used. You can even put your hair in ponytails and leave some curled strands on both sides to create a romantic look.

Many women think that short hairstyles have to be boring. Yet again, the use of the right accessory is important. Short hairstyles are difficult because there is not much hair to work with. Whether your hair is curly or straight, you can use a great headband to accent your hair. Headbands are more popular than ever and come in a variety of styles, including leather and silk
