Handfasting is an ancient tradition that is regaining popularity among modern couples. This ritual, where couples bind their hands together with cords, symbolises unity and the intertwining of two lives.

The Meaning Behind Handfasting

• Symbol of Commitment – Historically, it represented a betrothal or a binding union before official marriage laws.

• Incorporating It Today – Some couples use it as their main vow exchange; others as a special ritual within their ceremony.

• Colour Symbolism – Different colored cords represent different values (e.g., red for passion, green for growth).

Handfasting brings a rich, symbolic element to your ceremony, perfect for couples who want a meaningful, unique touch.
