Ring Bearer...do I need a pillow

I'm not doing a pillow...but my RB is also walking my dog down the aisle...so I figure having one thing in each hand would confuse a 2 year old and be too much.

I'm sure you could forgo the pillow...it's your wedding

I think it would be nice if they held something but i dont think it needs to be a pillow.

Maybe he could hold (an empty) ring box or somthing along those lines that you may already have at home?

I made pillows for my ring bearers. They were really simple and I paid less than $10 for all of the materials to make 2 pillows.

I'm pretty sure you could pick up a ring bearer pillow at the dollar store. If you have some extra ribbon laying around that matches your wedding colors you could put it on there to spice it up a bit.

I think the empty ring box is also a good idea since you will probably have one from your wedding ring.

Perfect ideas ladies. thanks! I just didnt want to spend another $20+shipping although there are such cute ones on etsy!

Glad we could help!

My son will be carrying a treasure box that I'm going to paint white

he's too old to carry a pillow

You could make use of any container that you could dress up yourself, or anything that has a sentimental value that you want to be included in your wedding. you could check google images for wedding pillow alternatives and it has lots of great ideas.

I am using a rose ring box. Its a silver rose that opens up around the bud.

What about having them carry a banner or a sign? I have seen this in alot of photos and it's adorable. Signs and banners can be DIYed fairly easily and cheap.

You don't have to have a pillow if you don't want one. I've come across pics of lots of substitutes. Today I saw someone that used a small pumpkin with ribbon for their fall wedding. And I must say it was really nice. So basically its up to you!!!

A toy?

ring a bell?

You can alwasy make or find a cool box... decorate it fun. I have seen them carrying bibles as well.

I agree with others..........At least have them something in hand........or a empty ring box is perfect idea.........here are few different and unique ring bearer ideas I am thinking to have in my wedding.........
