The ring bearer pillow is what is used to carry the rings down the aisle which the bride and groom will exchange during the wedding ceremony. Usually the ring bearer is a member of either the bride or grooms family between the ages of three and ten. At that age many times the little boy may have trouble standing still during the wedding ceremony so to ensure that the rings are not lost or dropped while the bride and groom are saying their vows the rings are attached to a ring bearer pillow. The ring bearer pillow is also something that will become a treasured keepsake for the bride and may even become a family heirloom where the daughter or son will use it for their wedding. This is why it is important to make sure that you have the right ring bearer pillow and what better way to do this than make it yourself.

Making it yourself you can personalize it as you would like using the materials and pattern that you choose. All you need is your choice of fabric, a sewing machine, trimming, and polyester batting to put inside the pillow. You will also need ribbon to which you will tie the rings to the ring bearer pillow. The material that you need to use should measure between eight and ten inches square. Most are white or off-white in color but if you like you could make it in the shade of the bridesmaid or matron of honor dresses but in a lighter shade. Whatever color you choose you need to make sure that when the rings are tied to the pillow that they stand out. You will also need approximately two to three yards of ribbon and lace if you are using lace or other trimming to put around the edges of the pillow.

The polyester batting should be cut the same dimensions as the ring bearer pillow. Depending on how thick or soft you want the pillow to be you may need two or three pieces of the batting. Before sewing the ring bearer pillow together you need to attach the trimming to the right side of the fabric that will form the top of the ring bearer pillow and then you pin the right side of the two pieces of material together with the batting between the materials and sew them together. Leave a small opening so you can turn the ring bearer pillow inside out and then hand sew the opening shut. You are now ready to attach the ribbon to the top of the pillow by hand. You can even embroider the bride and grooms initials into the ring bearer pillow to make it more personal.

In case you find it too time consuming to make or devote time to personalizing the ring bearer pillow then there are many online stores selling elegant yet affordable ring bearer pillows. Help yourself by visiting these stores and selecting the one you find to be the most appealing and at the same time within your budget.
