Celtic wedding dresses

 

For those brides who have a love of the Celtic heritage, it is important to find a designer who is able to design and produce beautiful Celtic wedding dresses such as the ones shown below.

If you look at a Celtic knot, you will see that it is created with no end and no beginning. How fitting a sentiment on the day a bride and groom seal their love for each other. The more inter-woven the knot was, the more protection it was said to give..

In fact many of our wedding traditions were originated by the Celts such as wearing a veil, wedding cake and even the fact that your wedding ring is worn on the third finger on your left hand. This was because they believed there was a vein running through this finger that led directly to the heart and by having your loved one place a wedding ring on it, meant they had a direct link to their loved one's heart! Aaah!

Celtic wedding dresses are very popular and not just for brides getting married in Wales, Ireland & Scotland. Many brides who choose to marry in Castles are also opting for a "Celtic" theme for their wedding day. There is a certain fairytale feel to the celtic theme which is very romantic making it an ideal wedding theme. If you are planning a winter wedding then Celtic wedding dresses are ideal as they often have long flowing sleeves and can incorporate sumptuous heavier materials such as velvet and brocade material which are naturally warmer than many traditional wedding dress fabrics. That said, there are many light weight celtic style wedding dresses as well made from fabrics such as silk and chiffon.
