Handfasting Cord - Custom Handfasting order - Celtic Wedding Cord

A crios made especially for the occasion is the traditional handfasting cord of Celtic wedding custom.

Crios is the Irish word for a woven woolen handfast ribbon or sash. I have been making custom cords for some years now and I love the reaction of the couple when something meaningful is expressed in their cord. It is a creation made by them that will form a central part of their marriage ceremony, and can be a very special piece.

I have a wide range of colours in stock and have images of all my colours online in a Flickr album. I ask couples to send me a list of their wedding colours, or an image of their flowers for example, or the values they wish to represent in their cord. I make up an album of the shades I have that best match and work closely with them on what design you would like, the length, the main colour, pattern etc.

Colours are chosen because they symbolize something significant, or they match the wedding colours, or they somehow represent the weaving together of the couples lives.

I can weave anything from 1 to 9 colours. 6 is the traditional number of colours with white as the main one... I generally recommend 5 to 8 colours as being ideal.
