Irish have a strong culture and traditions which you can add to your ceremony to make it extra special. In Irish weddings, you can find traditions such as handfasting (tying the knot), traditional Irish music and dance, as well as braided hair with flowers, a symbol of power and luck which can be a beautiful addition to the bride. Also, did you know that Irish brides would traditionally wear blue to their weddings - a color connected to purity? There are also lots of lucky symbols in Ireland that you could incorporate into the ceremony or in your decor, such as the horseshoe, shamrocks, rainbows, and harps.
