Summer is traditionally ‘wedding season’ in the UK, with August generally being the most popular month to get married. The summer sun, the school holidays and the fact that there is a bank holiday at the end of the month generally means that August is prime wedding time, and those who have chosen the eighth month as the time they will say their vows will already be deep into the planning process. But with venues to arrange, guest lists to finalise and menus to consider, the actual wedding rings are often written off as a one-day task which can be taken care of in an afternoon!

Au contraire, say the staff at Bay Rings – with so many choices regarding metal, style, stones, cut, carat and cost, choosing a wedding ring can be a very time-consuming activity. It’s important for couples getting married this summer that they pick out their rings in advance to avoid last-minute jitters about their bespoke wedding ring arriving on time.

A spokesman for Bay Rings says, “The time leading up to summer is often our busiest, and we urge all customers to get their orders in way ahead of their wedding in order to ensure that, by the time they are ready to say their vows, their rings are exactly how they imagined them. If purchasing a bespoke ring, it is always wise to leave plenty of time between ordering and delivery, as the ring has to be made up. What’s more, if you are unsure of your ring size and worry that you may need to send back a ring and order a replacement, which takes yet more time – time that many couples don’t have when they leave their rings as the last order of business!”

He adds, “Buying a budget-friendly ring early in the process also gives couples an idea of how much they have left to spend on a wedding, rather than having little to no money left at the end of the planning process for the all-important marital jewellery.”

Bay Rings have a comprehensive selection of wedding rings in various different materials and finishes on their site, and they also specialise in bespoke offerings that are personal to each couple.

With the prices of these holidays soaring, couples need to make vital cutbacks to their wedding budget in order to be able to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience on their honeymoon. Many newlyweds prefer to start their married life together in total bliss on a luxury sunshine break or an adventure trail, and the demand for this type of holiday is so great among couples that things such as outfit rental and low-cost rings are becoming a main feature of their wedding, in order to free up some much-needed funds. Bay Rings are one of the wedding providers helping couples to realise their travelling dreams and unleash their inner wanderlust.

A spokesman for Bay Rings said, “Many people are choosing to shun the traditional ideal of an extravagant church wedding so that they can instead experience the wonders of the world on an incredible holiday. With our range of custom wedding rings at low prices, we are helping many couples to realise this dream, see the world and start their married life off in memorable fashion with round-the-world trips and luxurious honeymoon destinations they wouldn’t otherwise have been able to afford.”

Bay Rings’ stunning range of budget wedding rings encompasses a range of different materials, with titanium, platinum and white gold amongst the most popular. They also include traditional yellow gold, and unique two-tone wedding rings for those who want something a little different on their big day. The rings start at just £172.70 for a beautiful platinum wedding ring, freeing up much-needed funds to put into the honeymoon savings pot.

All of the rings can be customised to suit the bride or grooms wishes; they can be engraved with script or important dates, they can have delicate detailing and they can even be set with stunning diamonds. A diamond-set platinum ring with three stones begins at just £434.95, demonstrating that great value doesn’t have to come at a high price.

As an online-only store, Bay Rings is in a unique position to offer these endlessly beautiful pieces of jewellery for less, simply because they have no overheads to pay. In the same way that couples forego expensive dresses and extravagant rings so that they can put their funds towards a more memorable holiday, Bay Rings have foregone a retail outlet so that they can pass the savings on directly to its customers.
