Rituals

Rituals are the heartbeat of a ceremony small, meaningful acts that speak volumes. Whether rooted in tradition or created just for you, they offer a beautiful way to express your values, celebrate your journey, and involve loved ones in your special day. From ancient customs to modern twists, each ritual adds depth, emotion, and a sense of shared connection.

Sand or Salt Ceremony

A salt or sand ceremony is a symbolic ritual often included in weddings, vow renewals, or family celebrations. It represents the blending of two lives, or multiple family members into one unified whole.

Handfasting

An ancient Celtic tradition symbolising unity, handfasting involves gently binding the couple’s hands with ribbons or cords. Each colour can represent a personal value love, loyalty, joy and the act itself becomes a powerful visual of two lives intertwined.

Unity Candle

Lighting a unity candle is a simple yet moving ritual. Two individual flames often lit by family members are joined to light a central candle, representing the merging of two families, two paths, and one shared future.

Tree Planting

For nature lovers or those building a legacy, planting a tree together during the ceremony is a beautiful way to mark growth, commitment, and the life you’ll nurture together.

Your Own Rituals

Every couple is unique and your ceremony should reflect that. You might choose to write your own vows, include a meaningful reading, honour absent loved ones, or invent a ritual that’s entirely your own. Whether it’s a shared toast, a tattooed ring exchange, or a symbolic gesture from your story, I’ll help you shape it with care and creativity.
