Handfasting: A Timeless Tradition of Binding Love

Handfasting is an ancient Celtic tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages, symbolizing the binding of two lives together. During this ceremony, the couple’s hands are tied together with a ribbon or cord, representing their unity and commitment to one another. The phrase “tying the knot” actually originates from this beautiful practice. Handfasting can be personalized with cords that have special significance to you, whether in terms of color, material, or even words or symbols embroidered onto them.

A Brief History of Handfasting

Originated in Celtic traditions as a form of temporary or trial marriage.
Later evolved into a recognized part of wedding ceremonies, often performed before or during a legal marriage.
Today, it is a meaningful way to symbolize unity, often used in modern weddings and vow renewals.
