Planning your wedding is an exciting and challenging time in your life. No doubt you will need to employ many personal skills and probably learn a few new ones.
Incorporating your heritage into your wedding theme can be very interesting & lots of fun and sometimes even a little over the top. However there are lots of little touches you can use to follow family traditions and these make an otherwise ordinary wedding into something a little more meaningful, and very special.
Here a few ideas that follow some popular Celtic Wedding Traditions that will add Celtic pride to your day. Have a harpist or bagpiper play during the ceremony or cocktail hour. Display a Celtic Unity Candle Holder with plain or personalized Claddagh candles on your altar. Your favors can have a touch of Irish or Celtic flair, examples being as simple as a packet of Shamrock seeds, Celtic Knot wine stoppers, or Claddagh shaped chocolates.
Celtic or Claddagh Bridal jewelry for the bride and bridesmaids will add a nice touch your wedding day photos. Or incorporate your family tartan in the color scheme dress ribbons for the ladies and cummerbund for the gents.
Adding a loaf of Irish Soda Bread or two to each table will be a nice treat for your guests. Make sure to have a keg of Guinness and some Bailey’s on hand.
And of course, don’t forget your Celtic wedding rings. There are many styles to choose from, ranging from very traditional to some very new contemporary Celtic Wedding ring designs.
