This rustic ring box ensures your rings will make it down the aisle safely.

Now that your flower girl is outfitted in the sweetest dress imaginable, it’s time to focus our attention on the other miniature person who will be attracting plenty of attention at your wedding: the ring bearer.

As this tiny guy makes his way down the aisle (at which point your guests will likely be distracted by how unbelievably adorable he looks in his tiny suit), he’ll tote with him those sparkly new rings of yours, and you’ll want to make sure he has a pretty—and safe—little something to carry them in.

Thanks to Etsy, there are a ton of unique, handmade ring carriers that make for a nice alternative to those plain satin pillows of yesteryear. From delicate engraved bowls to rustic wooden boxes and personalized platters, the ring carrier that you choose for your wedding can be a memorable keepsake for long after the Big Day.

Take a gander at the options we’ve selected below (and always be sure to secure those rings in there tight!)
