Matching wedding bands don't have to be limiting. They can work with a lot of different design styles and still express your personality. It's important to show who you are as a person as well as a couple. Of course most of these rings will showcase gold and diamonds but it's the color and style of the ring that is really going to set it apart from everyone else's wedding set.
For a traditional wedding band you'll usually want to go with a very plain yellow gold ring. It should be white or yellow gold. Then it should have a curved or rope edge to it. This is one of the least expensive pieces and you can find them almost anywhere. This is great if you like a very classic look that will be just as stylish in a few years as it is now.
You might want an antique wedding set or feeling. The danger to this is that it can be quite feminine. While this is great for the bride the groom may not be too thrilled with it. Instead you'll really have to find a balance so that you both can have coordinating rings that you are happy with. You can find a few subtle pieces of scrollwork to incorporate more of a vintage feeling on his ring.
Another style of wedding set is a modern look which will go perfectly with round jewelry. Here you will really be able to experiment with different metals such as titanium. It also should come in the form of an oversized band. This is where going with an alternative metal can really come in handy simply because you can get a bigger look for your money. This style should be very sleek without any adornment. The focus should be on the sheer size and color of the piece. In this case you really have to work to find a more feminine approach for the brides wedding set so that it will fit in with a more traditional diamond engagement ring.
