Here Come the Rings: 8 Alternatives for the Ring Bearer

While it is very common for a bride to decide to have the ring bearer carry the rings down the aisle on a pillow, some brides want to mix things up a little bit. So, why not?

There are many adorable and unique ways that your favorite little dude can carry your precious rings down the aisle securely and safely. While it may take a little bit of creativity and DIY action to create these ideas, it is totally worth it in the end! So whether you decide to create your own masterpiece or purchase it online, consider these options when figuring out how your ring bearer will go about his duty!

 

1. Glass Box with Moss

Are you a natural bride that wants to incorporate nature as much as you possibly can on your big day? A little bit of moss can go a long way!

This small and simple way to carry the rings will please any mother nature type bride.

 

2. Mr. and Mrs. Separated Ring Box

Need a his and her twist on things? This separated ring box may be just what you need! This is perfect for any classy bride looking to walk down the aisle in a church. The small pillows underneath still give it the traditional look for a traditional bride, and the elegant “Mrs.” and “Mr.” is the icing on the cake!

 

3. Oak Ring Bearer Box

4. Brown Wood Ring Bearer Ring Holder

5. Dog Ring Bearer Ring Collar

Are you having your furry friend take the place of your ring bearer? Then of course one of the best ways for them to carry the rings down the aisle is by their dog collar!
