Just the Bride:

  • Needs to decide on the wedding gown. You may need to consult with a dress designer or company that specializes in Celtic wedding attire. If your wish is to have a dress that reflects your Celtic heritage, many options are available to you. Many Celtic brides choose, somewhere on the dress, to have the Celtic knot sewn or patterned into the gown. The "knot" is symbolic of love, commitment and life. This would compliment nicely with the hand-fasting ceremony too.
  • Chooses the maid or matron of honor and other attendants.
  • Plans the flower arrangements, wedding favors (name cards, catering, stationary to name just a few). When you choose your attendants be sure to have them help you with these too.
