Something Blue (and Personal): The Story Behind My Wedding Ring Pillows

Something Blue (and Personal): The Story Behind My  Wedding Ring Pillows

A Little History

The ring pillow dates all the way back to ancient Egypt, where precious jewels were presented on decorative fabrics during ceremonial occasions. Over time, that tradition evolved — and by the Victorian era, brides began using small pillows to carry their wedding rings down the aisle, symbolizing purity, devotion, and the promise of new beginnings. I’ve always loved that symbolism — something soft, made with care, carrying the most meaningful of treasures.

A Modern Heirloom

Each G. March Design Wedding Ring Pillow combines that old-world sentiment with a clean, modern aesthetic. Measuring 9” x 9”, each pillow design features delicate detail and the perfect balance of elegance and personality. You can choose from four elegant font styles for your initials and select from a range of colors — or, for an extra touch of customization, provide your own hex color for a completely personalized look. If you’d like to find your perfect shade, you can visit a color website such as https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel or simply search “hex color picker” online. Once you find the hue you love, copy the six-digit hex code (for example, #A7C7E7) an send it to me with your order. I’ll match your thread colors as closely as possible to bring your palette to life.

Kit or Canvas — Your Choice

You can order your ring pillow in one of two ways: As a complete kit, which includes
everything you need; the printed canvas, Essentials 50% Silk / 50% Merino Wool thread in all the colors needed to complete the design, a needle, and step-by-step instructions or as a printed canvas only, perfect for experienced stitchers who already have their own threads and want to customize their materials. This flexibility lets every maker choose the experience that suits them best — whether you love the convenience of an all-in-one kit or prefer to stitch with your own color stash.

Beyond the Aisle

After the wedding day, your pillow becomes more than just part of the ceremony — it
becomes a beautiful keepsake. Whether you place it on your bed, tuck it into a chair, or display it on a shelf, it will forever remind you of that special moment when you said “I do.” Not every pillow in the collection is personalized — some feature playful sayings like “No Take-Backs” or the sweet simplicity of “I Do.” Each one is a piece of art meant to celebrate love — whether it’s yours or a thoughtful gift for someone else’s.

A Handmade Beginning to Happily Ever After

Creating these pillows is my way of celebrating love stories — stitched one detail at a time. From the moment you thread your needle to the final knot, you’re not just making something beautiful — you’re making something meaningful.
