Ring bearer pillows are small decorative pillows that hold the rings used in a wedding ceremony. The pillow is carried down the aisle by the ring bearer—often a young child—as a tradition in many weddings. Ring bearer pillows come in various designs, shapes, and sizes to suit the theme or atmosphere of the wedding. Some popular styles include floral motifs to match the flower-girl basket, while others feature intricate lace patterns or personalized embroidery.
Using a ring bearer pillow is a timeless tradition, and you’ll find numerous options from shops on Etsy. It's not uncommon to see the couple’s pet pooch toting the rings to the spouses-to-be with a ring bearer pillow for dogs secured to the harness or collar. For a more traditional event, consider a classic white or ivory ring bearer pillow, or opt for something more colorful and embellished for a boho-inspired ceremony.
