I've never considered myself a hopeless romantic 🌷 before, but I may have a secret Pinterest board (or five) dedicated to what my future wedding 💒 will look like. Never mind that I'm currently single as hell; there's something about creeping other people's fairy tale weddings and pretending that it's mine that makes me feel prepared.
I have to admit that although I really love looking at pictures 📷of brides in their beautiful Cinderella gowns surrounded by hundreds of smiling ☺️ guests, that's never been me. In fact, I've recently been drawn to the idea 💭 of an untraditional wedding ring 💍. I never knew that there were so many ways that you can express your love 💕 for each other without breaking the bank.

Why go with one symbol of love ❤️ when you can have many? I already love finding quirky charms for my Alex and Ani bracelet.

Whether it's a simple necklace or is diamond-crusted, this gesture speaks volumes. If you want an untraditional wedding ring but are still on the fence about getting an engagement ring, one of the benefits of exchanging necklaces instead of wedding rings is that you can actually hook your engagement ring onto the chain./filters:quality(70)/content/fs/wp/cmsngkyz57fbe2f47699a005989005_500x500.jpg)
