Wedding is a celebration of unity of two loving hearts, family happiness and well-being. Often, preparation for this celebration begins long before the appointed date, because every bride wants everything to be beautiful and festive on this day, right down to the smallest details. Pillow for rings plays an important role in the solemn ceremony of marriage.
Now there is an opportunity to purchase it in the store, but many brides will probably want to make it with their own hands, to invest their warmth in this important and necessary wedding accessory, without which not a single celebration.
The choice of shape and size
Forms and sizes of pillows for rings are the most diverse. It can be a classic square shape, oval, round, and, of course, in the shape of a heart as a symbol of mutual love and loyalty. What kind of form will be needed for the wedding is always at the discretion of the main hero of the occasion - the bride. The size can vary from a miniature laconic cushion to a large and volumetric elegant basket, shells, or it can have another fancy shape that will rhyme with a wedding theme.
Design options
In the choice of design pads for rings, you can choose the most unusual solutions. It is important to focus on the overall design of the wedding. For example, if the celebration will have a certain style, you can make a pad in accordance with the basic style of the wedding. In Provence style, it is better to use natural ornaments and prints, and a dry stalk of lavender will give the product not only a special entourage and elegance, but also a pleasant aroma. Rustic or country style, which is also referred to as rustic, it is better to use canvas raw fabrics, which will give a more authentic look to the pad and provide a 100% hit in village style.
Wedding pads with embroidered initials of the newlyweds or with the image of the date on which the celebration is scheduled will look extraordinary. You can use the lace on the sides of the pads and embroider something already on it, if skill allows and there is a necessary amount of time, since this work is very painstaking. But if you gently and correctly embroider an accessory, the result will definitely please you, and it will be worth the time spent by 100%.
The task of choosing a design is greatly facilitated in the event that the celebration will be in a particular subject. If the wedding will be sustained in a particular color or color print, it will also be very appropriate to use it in the decoration of the ring pads. Red, marsala, burgundy, blue, purple, yellow, orange or rainbow, or perhaps a cushion or polka dot pillow - a lot of options, the main thing is the desire of the bride and groom and the willingness of guests to support the idea of the newlyweds in their aspirations and wear dresses or shirts identical color or shade.
Wedding design can be in tune with the professional activities of someone from the newlyweds. For example, if the groom is a pilot, the future spouse can use in the decoration of the wedding cushion any element associated with the airplanes and the sky. Even a small aircraft figure will be an original addition to the decor of a wedding accessory. And so - for any profession by analogy, as there are plenty of accessories on the shelves and you can find any kind of decoration.

The main thing is to clearly represent the already established image of the wedding cushion and, in accordance with it, make your choice in favor of one or another decorative element.
How to do it yourself?
Best of all this will help step by step master class. We will consider the manufacture of a wedding cushion of a standard square shape with guipure and a bottom. Often brides are worried that the rings will not fall right at the solemn ceremony, because this is considered to be a very bad omen according to popular beliefs. Shaking hands, commotion, or any other factors may contribute to this unpleasant experience. Therefore, we will consider just such a variant of the pillow - with a bottom so that the rings of the newlyweds will not go away exactly.
Making a wedding pillow is a rather simple and fascinating activity that will surely bring pleasure in the pre-holiday preparation for the happiest and most exciting day.
We will need:
- base fabric;
- guipure;
- synthetic winterizer;
- filler;
- lace ribbon (about 1 m);
- artificial flowers.
First you need to start with the pattern of the product. To do this, you can use templates that are pre-cut out of paper, cardboard or old newspaper. You can draw them yourself, and since the product is standard square in shape, it will be easy to do. The size of the patterns should be 17x17 cm, and the size of the finished product - 15x15 cm.
When the elements of the pattern are ready, you need to cut out the necessary parts from the fabric. To do this, it is best to take colored chalk, mark the cut-off point on the back of the fabric with dashed lines. Fabric we use two types: guipure and the main canvas. You can choose a light fabric and dark guipure. In our case, the guipure is white and the main fabric is blue. The main thing is that the colors of the fabrics contrast with each other. We will have four cuts of fabric of identical size: 2 cuts of the base and 2 cuts of guipure.
Next, we cut a piece of 17x17 cm in size from the synthetic winterizer. Place the fabric in such a way that the main fabric is the first layer and the guipure is on top. The second element will be similar, but without the padding. There should be five parts in total - this is the basis of the accessory.
We fasten the layers of fabric to the synthetic winterizer with the help of needles, and then we stitch the product around the perimeter, not forgetting to retreat from the edge 1 centimeter. For the decor of the pillow, the lace ribbon should be pulled off so that its total length is 70 centimeters. We attach the ribbon to the part with needles and attach it. Then we sew two main parts. We place them in such a way that they are located facing each other. Sintepon in this position of the elements will be temporarily outside. At the same time, it is necessary to leave about 5 cm unstitched, so that it is convenient to turn the pad over to the front side.
Now you need to make a bottom - a recess for the rings in the middle. Measure out 5x5 cm and mark using crayon, and then stitch. The next step is to fill the edges of the pad with holofiber. After completing the work, you need to carefully sew a hole.
Now there is only a design.If desired, you can add a few shiny rhinestones or beads. Decorate the pad with artificial flowers and leaves with a glue gun.
