Wedding Bands: The Only Part of Your Wedding that Lasts a Lifetime

Weddings are a time to celebrate love and new beginnings.

Planning for a wedding typically starts months, if not years, before the big day, in an effort to bring friends and family together in a meaningful way.

More often than not, the wedding budget grows during the planning process.

In Massachusetts, recent surveys suggest the average cost of a wedding is $43,000. It’s truly a staggering number, that in many cases, is far exceeded.

While many aspects of a wedding last just a few hours—the food, drinks, entertainment, and flowers—one aspect lasts a lifetime: wedding bands.

The wedding bands a couple choose are one of the few parts of a wedding that truly last forever. They play a critical role in the wedding ceremony, marking endless love and commitment, and are then worn daily for years to come.

For some of our clients, wedding bands are even passed down to future generations.

That’s why you should feel good about investing in a wedding band that you love.

On average, the bride’s wedding band costs about $1,100. The groom’s typically costs $510, on average.

Compare that to the average cost of wedding flowers, which is closer to $2,300.

Think about that: some couples end up paying more than twice as much for something that won’t last more than a few days, as compared to something that will last for years.

It’s something to consider, if you are starting to look at wedding bands.

While men's and women's bands are available in every price range, starting under $500, it’s important to select something you really love, and will enjoy wearing. It’s worth it.

We typically recommend that wedding bands are selected 2-3 months before the wedding, to ensure plenty of time for alterations, if necessary. Of course we always have a selection of bands ready for same-day purchase, so if planning ahead isn’t possible, hope is not all lost.

We encourage you to schedule an appointment for browse and select wedding bands, to ensure a member of our team and walk you through all of the options available.
