Celtic Wedding Invitations
When you feel your cultural bonds spiritually, then ethnic wedding invitations make a great way of expressing your belonging; it is a way of integration in tradition while sticking to symbols, themes and even customs related to major life events. Celtic wedding invitations enjoy a great popularity not only among people with a family Celtic heritage but among many other couples who are simply fascinated by what the Celtic culture has to offer. Knots and wooden designs make the fundamental forms of decoration for Celtic wedding invitations; yet, style variations certainly cannot stop here, because you can truly let your imagination be creative.
Celtic wedding invitations rely on symbolic decorations with all sorts of intricate patterns, but in the majority of cases, the invitations are just the first part of a themed wedding. Irish and Scottish families will often marry in highland castles and therefore will prefer sticking to their Celtic tradition and go through all the ritual according to ancestral beliefs, laws and customs. Hence, use your creativity to come up with designs not only for the Celtic wedding invitations but for the dress details, the table linen and the flower arrangements.
The tradition of the bride's bouquet carrying is a Celtic tradition that few people know about, for example. Besides the nice look the herbs in the bouquet were believed to cast away evil spirits. Even the way the wedding ring is worn has a Celtic origin because the Celts believed that the third finger of the left hand is directly linked with the heart through the veins. The amalgam of similarities can go a lot further than that and therefore way beyond the use of Celtic wedding invitations. If you want to relate back to tradition, there is hardly a better way to do so.
Graphics achieves most of the aesthetic effect of the Celtic wedding invitations, because of the spiritual dimension it adds to an otherwise plain look. Flowers and animal parts, the couple's initials together with symmetrical knots, flowing lines and swirls: these make the cornerstones of Celtic wedding invitations. You can use special paper to print them, and there are even special Celtic borders that come together with the stationaries. Planning the Celtic wedding will in fact carry you deeper into Celtic decorations and their symbolism, which will eventually bring a specific unique atmosphere to enjoy on the big day. Congratulations!
