Do our wedding rings have to match?
My partner and i are getting married in August. My engagement ring is gold, because i wanted to use my late mothers. My partner is not a big fan of gold, and would like a silver or white gold wedding ring. Do our wedding rings have to match? Or does it even matter if i have a gold engagement ring and silver or white gold wedding ring?! Also, can someone please tell me what in the colour scheme has to match please? I'm struggling to decide on colours and getting very confused!! Thank you soooo much for any help!

no wedding rings don't have to match go with whatever your personal tastes are, i have a white gold diamond set wedding ring and my husband has a yellow gold band with engraving on the outside.
If you mean colour scheme for the wedding then yeah that has to match or it will be a bit of a mess

Hello, my husband and i chose different wedding rings and actually had ones with both gold and white gold on. So they match nicely with the engagement rings too. I don't like gold much myself but the two together look really good.
Do you mean colour scheme for your wedding? Usually it's ties, bridesmaid dresses and flowers that all tie in to colour scheme. You take take it much further by decorating venue in the colours too, or really just have a single colour that appears in the above.
Basically, it's about what you want though, not about what is usual, or whether great aunt doris expects it. Do it your way and enjoy...

No you should both get whatever you want. It depends on the rings but sometimes a gold engagement ring and a white gold wedding band can look great. Again, it's about personal choice. You are the ones that will be wearing them.

No your wedding bands do not have to match, but I would suggest that your fiancé go for White Gold vs. Silver. White Gold will be more expensive, but it stays whiter longer than Silver (unless it is silver plated). Another option to look at (not to add more confusionJ) might be titanium/tungsten – those metals are more reasonable in price. If you want the bands to match – then opt for both white or both yellow gold. White and yellow gold is not a match unless you both have a two tone ring. Here is a link to some of our Edward Mirell bands for your fiancé - http://www.whiteflash.com/fine-jewelry/mens-jewelr...
Good Luck!

They absolutely do not have to match. You should both get rings that you'll be happy to wear for a long time.
In terms of wedding colors, you can apply them as much or as little as you want. Say, for example, your colors are gold and light blue. If you're the type of person that really likes matching stuff, maybe your bridesmaids will be in blue dresses with gold sashes, and the groomsmen will be in black tuxes with gold vests and ties, and your reception tables will have gold tablecloths with blue napkins, and all the flowers will be blue and yellow and ivory.
But if you're the type of person that doesn't care so much about matching, maybe you use a lot of neutrals - the bridesmaids wear black dresses and carry yellow and blue flowers, and the groomsmen wear classic black tuxes with black vests/ties and yellow flowers in their lapels, and the reception tables are set in ivory linens with yellow flower arrangements.
In other words, there is no "rule" about what has to match. Just pick the things that you think look pretty together!

No they don't have to match. Some people might find it more conventional for them to be the same or similar but its not necessary. Its your day and its completely up to you what you do. Me and my fiance are getting married in June and our rings don't exactly match. Mine is a small white gold band with diamonds going around the band. My fiance doesn't like diamonds or anything like that on his ring though so he got a wide palladium band with nothing on it. We are both getting our rings engraved though.
Hope this helps

It's traditional for wedding rings to match, but not necessary. If it's your engagement ring that's gold though, you might want to consider getting a ring to match your hubby's, and wearing your engagement ring on your right hand. That's what I intended to do, but for some reason my wedding band makes me break out in hives unless I wear my engagement ring behind it on my ring finger.

nope.
my ring is white gold with diamonds, while my fiances wedding band is steel. he has large hands & works in construction so if it were gold it'd only get damaged & eventually break. it doesn't bother us at all that they don't match.
my mums bridal set is white gold, & my dads wedding band is yellow gold.
the brides wedding band & engagement doesn't have to match, but it would look much nicer if they were at least the same colour gold. it may look like you just poorly mixed & matched rings if they weren't the same colour.

touch community parks. condominium area is often unfastened you in basic terms would desire to prepare for a enable. you are able to set up a tent, lease some tables and chairs and get buffet catering. Even to get a wait artwork rigidity is fairly low value verify your community newspaper or craigs checklist. often approximately $2 hundred for a artwork rigidity of four for 4 people. maximum intense is a few foodstuff and alcohol at a marriage. in the adventure that your not that right into a cake attempt wedding ceremony cupcakes. you are able to stack them like a cake (bypass to an artwork save adn by cake tier). it fairly is particularly fashionable and lovable now. Do your wedding ceremony colorings or all in basic terms white. in case you choose to save on alcohol do in basic terms wine and beer.

No of course they don't HAVE to match, its your wedding and your marriage. Whichever you both prefer! You'll be the ones to have to live with them on your fingers for the rest of your life so it would be wise to like them :)
I would say a plummy purple would be a nice colour theme, as its not very 'in your face' and is quite classy. I would go for a dark blue though if I were to get married just because it is quite versatile and my favourite colour!
Congratulations!
