The Dallas Wedding Timeline: When to Buy Your Engagement Ring, Wedding Bands, and Gifts

Planning a wedding in Dallas is an exciting adventure filled with venue tours, cake tastings, and dress fittings. But one of the most important—and often overlooked—parts of the planning process is timing your jewelry purchases. From the first “Yes!” to the “I do,” your rings and fine jewelry play a starring role in your love story.

At RS Diamond Broker, with over 30 years of experience in the Dallas jewelry industry, we’ve helped countless couples navigate this journey. Here’s a wedding jewelry timeline designed to make sure you stay on track and stress-free.

12+ Months Before the Wedding: The Engagement Ring

• Most Dallas proposals happen months (or even a year) before the wedding date.

• Start shopping early so you can explore diamond cuts, settings, and custom design options without feeling rushed.

• If you’re considering a custom engagement ring, allow at least 6–8 weeks for design and production.

💡 RS Diamond Broker Tip: Dallas is home to countless picture-perfect proposal spots—Reunion Tower,

Klyde Warren Park, or the Dallas Arboretum. Make sure your ring is ready in time for your dream moment.

6–8 Months Before the Wedding: The Wedding Bands

• Once the engagement excitement has settled, it’s time to pick out wedding bands.

• Couples often underestimate how much time it takes to find (or custom design) bands that complement both the engagement ring and personal style.

• If engraving or custom metalwork is part of the plan, allow for extra time.

💡 RS Diamond Broker Tip: Many Dallas couples shop for their bands together—it’s a fun and romantic way to take a break from the busyness of wedding planning.

3–4 Months Before the Wedding: Jewelry for the Big Day

• Think about accessories for the wedding party. Earrings for bridesmaids, cufflinks for groomsmen, or a meaningful piece for the mother of the bride can add a personal touch.

• Shopping early allows time for personalization, like initials or gemstones in wedding colors.

💡 RS Diamond Broker Tip: Personalized jewelry also makes a thoughtful gift for out-of-town guests traveling to Dallas for your celebration.

1–2 Months Before the Wedding: The Final Touches

• Schedule a professional cleaning for your engagement ring so it shines brilliantly on the big day.

• Double-check ring sizing—especially if you’ve had any adjustments done.

• Pick up wedding bands and keep them stored safely until the ceremony.

💡 RS Diamond Broker Tip: At RS Diamond Broker, we’ll give your ring a complimentary sparkle treatment before your big day so it looks flawless in photos.

After the Wedding: Anniversaries & Upgrades

• The jewelry journey doesn’t stop at “I do.” Many couples celebrate milestones with diamond earrings, eternity bands, or even a ring upgrade years down the road.

• Having a trusted Dallas jeweler means you’ll always have a partner for life’s next chapter.
