Before Marriages were ever licensed, the Ancient Britons and Celts used handfasting to ‘tie the knot’. The words spoken while the two hands are bound together are so meaningful and special that couples find this to be a very moving part of their ceremony. It is a fascinating ritual where the hands of the couple are bound in beautiful silk ribbons or cords - Once for the past, Once for the present and Once for the future. This can be during or after the ring exchange or as a stand-alone ceremony.

The price for a personalised handfasting to include all materials is £50

A ring warming or ring blessing that involves your family and friends. Prior to the entrance the family are offered the two rings on a silk cushion or special receptacle and invited to lay their hands on top to bless the rings. This need not be a religious blessing but can be a wish, a positive energy, a good thought or indeed a prayer. The two rings then hold all the good thoughts and feelings of their guests before they exchange them in the ceremony.

This is a simple but heartwarming ceremony that embodies the shared support from those present and amplifies the significance of the ring exchange.

The price for a personalised ring warming is £25.

Blended families are popular and part of today’s society. A wonderful way to celebrate the different components and ‘colours’ of a new family coming together through marriage or commitment is with the sand blending ceremony.

Each colour will stand alone but the sands can never be separated meaning that each colour is part of the whole family work of art.

The price for a personalised sand ceremony is £25 (which does not include the sand or vessel)
