First Stop, The Wedding Ring

Let's face it, the most important part of the day is finding the ultimate wedding ring for your bride to be. However, when you are on a budget, this can be tough. There are options out there that many don't consider.
Real diamonds can get very expensive depending on where they are mined from. Then you have to deal with the proper cut, clarity and size. Hey, let's face it, every man wants their bride to have the biggest.
When you are on a budget, it may be a good idea to look into lab created diamonds. Yes, they are real diamonds, however, they were simply formed in another matter. The created diamonds were actually generated in a special lab. The environment for them is controlled and watched carefully so that each diamond comes out just the right way.
Through the creation of diamonds in a lab, you will find that in many aspects the price is a lot lower. The diamonds are certified by the lab that does create them, with all necessary information in regards to the specific diamond.
It is a good idea to check with local stores in your area for lab diamonds. This will help cut costs for you. And you are bound to find the perfect one for your bride.

What to think about when it comes to The Perfect Ring

Sure the diamond is the most important, but you need to think about different styles that your bride may like. Think about some of the rings that she may wear on a regular basis. This can help give you some ideas as to what to look for.
If your bride has an eclectic style it can be a lot easier to find just the right ring that goes with her sense of style. However, if she is more classic in her jewelry, then you may need to look a little harder.
Some jewelers will create a ring for you that will fit what you are looking for, however remember, this can cost a lot more. Ask questions of the jeweler about materials that can be used to create the ring to help cut some of the costs. Sometimes, even going to white gold, or even rose gold can be less costly. One of the most expensive however is platinum.
It is always a good idea to make a list of what you desire in the ring for your bride. This will help you have a better understanding of exactly what to look for and questions to ask. By finding the perfect ring, this will certainly help you look your best on your special day.

Groom's Men Gifts

This is something else that some men need to think about. Gifts for their best man and groom's men that will be attending the wedding. Again, if you are on a budget, keep it simple. Think about what you and your friends enjoy doing together. Keep it clean boys. There are a lot of unique ideas out there that will really help with making this decision.
Some examples you might want to consider. Etched flasks, monogrammed golf balls (if you and your buddies like to be out on the course), or even maybe some special tickets to a show or concert. Just take a few minutes to think about it, you will come up with the perfect idea.

Time to Get the Groom Ready

Last but certainly not least, is making sure that the groom looks his best for the special day. There are several things that he will need to do to be ready.

Tuxedo

Renting or purchasing a tuxedo. If you are on a budget, it is best to rent a tuxedo, especially if you know you will only be wearing it once. Check with local wedding shops, men's clothing stores, even your local dry cleaners. Many have great deals for renting suits. Just make sure it looks sharp and will go perfect with what your bride will be wearing.

Shoes

Don't forget the shoes. You might already own a pair that will look great with your tuxedo, so if possible save some money there. Yes, you can rent proper shoes, but, if you have some that look similar, you won't have to add that extra expense.
Typically as long as you have a nice pair of black socks there is another expense you won't have to worry about. Okay, enough about dressing, what about your hair? Have you given any thought to how you plan to wear it? Are you going to go with the same style that you normally go with?

Hairstyle

When thinking about your hair, maybe consider changing it up a little. Talk to your barber about what he may recommend. Or if you see a picture in a magazine that will work with your bone structure, go for it. Show up with an all new you for your bride.
