Celtic Wedding Invitations

Weddings can be perfect occasions to use tradition as part of its celebration. Although it is a present trend to celebrate a wedding in the most uncommon way, there are couples who choose the traditional way and this happens because their national tradition is rich in meanings and color, offering them a variety in expression and perceiving. The note of a wedding is normally set out with the wedding invitations, since they are supposed to comprise the whole spirit which will guide through the entire unfolding of a wedding celebration.  In this respect, Irish couples have a lot to say since their cultural tradition offers elements that can turn their wedding day into an unforgettable event.

Everything that is part of an Irish wedding can carry the symbolic meaning of their tradition starting with Celtic wedding invitations, rings, music till the decorations used in this special celebration. The roots of Irish wedding traditions lay deep into the nature of charm and superstitions that a medieval Celtic period has implemented in the Irish folklore. Adding a touch of this folklore to your wedding invitations sends the message of your love and belief to your guests in a way that will make them take the firm decision to attend your celebration. And the best way to add this touch is finding Celtic designs to decorate your invitation cards since Celtic culture has a lot of symbols that are so connected to what a wedding ceremony stands for.

The best choice in creating your wedding invitations is the one that combines your true feelings with the symbols contained in the Celtic culture. Lets take a look at what are the most popular symbols in this culture: Claddagh symbol is the one that means “let love and friendship reign”, shamrock – the three leaves green plant that symbolizes the great things that come in three, such as: past, present, future; love, value, and wit; hope, faith, and charity and the Celtic spiral which its meaning gave birth to so many interpretations since nothing of its symbolist significance has ever been recorded.

Regarding the Celtic Spiral symbol some say that the ascendant spirals are related to the harmony with the Earth, while the descendant ones are connected to the Pagan spells. Since these Celtic Spirals have often been found in ancient burial places, it is believed to carry the mystical powers of chasing the evil away in order not to enter the sacred places. Others are of the opinion that Celtic Spiral is the meaning of cycles of time contained in life with that point that starts from the center and going in an endless motion outward. But used as a graphics on the Celtic wedding invitations, the Celtic Spiral symbolizes or at least has to symbolize the Eternal Truth which is finding the harmony between the Earth, your self and Divinity that are parts of our existence, the same harmony that a couple has to find in their future life as husband and wife.
