The Perfect Timing: When To Buy Your Dream Wedding Bands

Shopping for wedding bands less than six months before your wedding can be highly advantageous, particularly for ensuring the ring aligns with your current style preferences and the latest trends. However, if you're opting for custom bands, it's important to check the jeweler’s turnaround time to avoid any last-minute stress. Aim to start looking for your wedding rings about 3-6 months before your big day. This way, you have enough time to explore different wedding ring styles, consider custom designs, and make any necessary adjustments.

Shopping for your wedding band less than six months in advance can be highly advantageous, particularly for ensuring the ring aligns with your current style preferences and the latest trends. We are getting both wedding bands customed so we are meeting with our jeweller nine months before (she needs time to gather all the non-diamond stones that she'll need for my band). A jewelry store near me is having an event with discounts this week. So we may potentially buy this week. It's a little soon, but it'll be one less thing we have to do later. We purchased ours about 7 months in advance. We knew what we wanted, and we had the money set aside, so we saw no harm in buying them early. We are going ring shopping sometime this month so we can get an idea about what we want and get his size.

If it was just up to me, those rings would be ours right now. But my FH is the type who waits until the last minute on certain things, like, "Oh, it's my mom's birthday today. What should I get her?". So we have to mentally come to a compromise between my neurotic buying it a year in advance and his wanting to pick it up on the way to the wedding otherwise we would have no peace! We got ours about 5 months before, but if he has a ring and it just needs sized, it shouldn't take longer than a few weeks depending on where you take it and what its made of.
