A Wedding Handfast (or handfasting cord) is a symbolic piece of fabric used in the ancient Celtic tradition of handfasting - the ritual of binding a couple’s hands together during their wedding ceremony. This act represents the joining of two lives and the promises made to one another.

Often crafted in tartan, a handfast brings heritage, colour, and meaning to your ceremony. The fabric may be chosen to reflect family lineage, a shared connection, or simply a design that speaks to you as a couple.

Whether used as part of a traditional Celtic service or incorporated into a modern wedding, a tartan handfast creates a beautiful keepsake of your vows as a lasting reminder of the moment you “tied the knot.”

Bespoke wedding handfasts can be made with two different tartans.
