Vintage Ring Pillows: What to Look For

When it comes to planning your vintage wedding, you may feel inundated with so many vintage ring pillows out there. How do you know what to look for? Here are a few tips to help. To pick the perfect vintage ring pillow for you, you’ll want to find accnets or embellishments that align with your personal style and decor. For instance, a burlap and lace ring pillow (pictured above) is the ideal choice if your wedding has a vintage theme with a hint of rustic flair. If your vintage wedding touches on a specific decade, browse ring pillows that use re-purposed fabrics from salvaged skirts or dresses of the era (browse thrift or resale shops, or look on Etsy or Ebay). An antique (passed-down) handkerchief can be sewn on top of a classic four-square ring pillow to integrate an old-fashioned feel; if you need to borrow it just for the day, use safety pins which can be removed after the wedding without any damage. Alternatively, an antique brooch or strand of pearls can also be used as a focal point of a standard, otherwise simple ring pillow. Check out these nine vintage ring pillows for your ceremony to give you an idea of what to look for. Oh, and remember: as a rule of thumb, the perfect ring pillow is the one that tugs at your heartstrings.
