Handfasting

Tying the Knot or Getting Hitched?

A Handfasting is based on old traditions from the British Isles.

A Handfasting can be part of a wedding ceremony and is increasingly popular. They are often conducted outdoors and include the symbolic tying of the hands with a cord or ribbon which you can make yourselves.

The ceremony can draw on the symbolism of the elements of air, fire, water and earth, and be a powerful way to focus on the different aspects of a relationship.
