Symbolic Ceremonies

Handfasting

Hand-fasting is a Celtic symbolic unity tradition in which a couple stand face to face as their hands are tied together - hence the phrase, tying the knot! As your hands are bound with ties, you declare words that express your commitment to one another, as you become betrothed.
It is used to add symbolism and personalisation to your wedding. After the ceremony, you'll keep your cord/ties as a keepsake of your vows to each other .

Sand Ceremony

The delightful blending of the ‘Sand Ceremony’ is a popular and contemporary Ceremony. The sand is used to symbolise the merging of two lives, the Bride and Groom, and / or their two combined families’ with children.
The pouring of two or more different coloured sands into a larger vessel creates a beautiful work of art and momento to be treasured forever.
