Have you considered including a Celtic handfasting ceremony in your Ireland elopement?
It’s one of the most meaningful and popular Irish wedding traditions we see couples from the USA and Canada choosing for their ceremonies here in Ireland. During the ritual, the couple’s hands are gently tied together using ribbons or cords to symbolize unity and commitment — which is where the phrase “tying the knot” is believed to come from.
- Irish whiskey toasts
- Tea ceremonies
- Unity candles
- Wishing stone ceremonies
- Sand ceremonies
- Ring warming rituals
These little touches can make your ceremony feel even more personal, emotional, and connected to Ireland’s traditions and scenery.
We just published a
full blog all about Celtic handfasting ceremonies and other wedding rituals couples can include in their Ireland elopement or destination wedding. Enjoy. 💚
Love from Ireland,
