There are many ways to make your wedding unique, and one of them is to include traditional elements from your culture.
If you and your partner come from different cultures, you can even mix and match traditions to create something truly special that reflects your heritage. Here are some ideas for incorporating indigenous traditions into your wedding.
- Celtic Handfasting Ceremony
Handfasting is a traditional Celtic ceremony where the hands of the couple are tied together with a cord or ribbon.
Doing that symbolizes their union and commitment to each other. You can incorporate this ceremony into your wedding by having your officiant tie your hands together during the vows.
- Japanese Tea Ceremony
The Japanese tea ceremony entails preparing and drinking matcha, a type of green tea. This ceremony is steeped in tradition, and it’s a beautiful way to symbolize your union. You can even use matcha in your wedding cake!
- Navajo Wedding Basket
The Navajo people have a tradition of using a wedding basket in their ceremonies. This basket, woven from willow branches, is used to symbolically gather up the love and blessings of the guests for the newlyweds.
Have a Navajo wedding basket on display at the reception. If you don’t have access to that, you can substitute it for another basket. It’s your wedding, and the most important thing is the message you pass across. Guests can then place their cards and gifts into the basket as they wish the newlyweds well.
These are just a few beautiful indigenous traditions that you can incorporate into your wedding ceremony. By including one or more of these rituals, you’ll be adding a touch of tradition to your big day and making it truly unique.
