Many couples make the mistake of waiting until the last minute to go wedding band shopping \u2014 this can cause unneeded stress, as you\u2019re already making a lot of large purchases when it comes to your wedding. Plus, if you decide to get something more custom, you may not be able to get the ring in time for the big day. Play it safe and discuss your options beforehand \u2014 including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/articles-and-news\/wedding\/how-to-divide-up-your-wedding-expenses-explained\/\">who\u2019s paying for the bands<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Think about your lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This one holds true especially for men, as women are more likely to have considered the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/jewelry-education\/engagement-rings\/when-should-i-take-my-engagement-ring-off\/\">wear and tear their engagement ring<\/a> has to go through already. Does your job require a lot of work with your hands? Are you an athlete, or do you spend a lot of time in the water? All of these answers can contribute to what kind of band you land on. Some metals are more durable than others, so it can help to educate yourselves on all the different types before making a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/engagement-wedding\/wedding-bands\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_2.jpg\" alt=\"Oval diamond engagement ring with two stackable wedding bands.\" class=\"wp-image-5655 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_2-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_2-380x285.jpg 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/450;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To match or not to match?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For women, there are a few directions you can take your wedding band, depending on what style you\u2019re looking for. Some prefer to match their band with their engagement ring to create one harmonizing set, while others may prefer to mix and match with different metals and styles. You can also choose to pair your band with your fianc\u00e9\u2019s in some way, if that\u2019s your thing. We recommend checking out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/jewelry-education\/art-of-engagement\/choosing-a-ring\/which-wedding-band-matches-my-engagement-ring\/\">these helpful blogs<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/articles-and-news\/fashion\/how-to-create-the-perfect-ring-stack\/\">for inspiration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For men, take into consideration any jewelry that you wear on an everyday basis, as well as the overall look you\u2019re trying to achieve. Men with larger hands or fingers may find that a thicker band looks better, while those who always sport a silver watch may want to stick to white-colored metals like platinum and white gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider personalized details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wedding bands are the perfect place to add a little extra personalization. Ask your partner if they\u2019d be interested in adding engravings to your bands, such as the date of your wedding, your initials, or another significant message that you can keep with you forever. At Shane Co., you can even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/mens-wedding-bands\/custom-mens-wedding-band-builder\">create a fully customized wedding band<\/a> by choosing from millions of options, from size, metal, and finish to unique inlays and patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/engagement-wedding\/wedding-bands\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_3.jpg\" alt=\"Woman wearing an oval engagement ring and two wedding bands.\" class=\"wp-image-5656 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_3-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_3-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/how_to_buy_wedding_bands_blog_images_3-380x285.jpg 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/450;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make it an experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not you shopped for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/engagement-rings\/c\">engagement ring<\/a> together, getting to pick out your wedding bands is a great way to spend some time as a couple before the big day.
