Meaningful Wedding Rituals for your Ceremony
Alessandra 01/10/2024 0
Most of Wedding Ceremonies are rooted in tradition and involve a series of steps or practices that have been taken for centuries. If you’re looking for some religious, cultural or spiritual practices in order to personalize and make your Wedding Ceremony even more poignant, here you will find the most popular Wedding ceremony rituals which you and your Groom-to-be could incorporate into your Special Day!
Jumping the broom
The jumping of the broom tradition dates back to the early 19th century and has its origins in Western African Weddings. The tradition wants the couple to lay a broom on the ground and jump over it together. Nowadays, this practice represents a ‘brushing away’ of the past in order to start a new life together.
Light a unity candle
This Judeo-Christian tradition is one of the most well-known Wedding rituals and represents the unity of two people and their families too. Both the Bride and Groom hold a lit candle and combine their flames to light a third one that remains unlit throughout the ceremony. Only when the couple
exchanged their vows, they can light the pillar candle using their flames to symbolize the union of their love and their commitment.
Sand ceremony
For this popular practice, the couple pours two separate vases of sand, usually in different colors, into a larger vessel to symbolize their ‘coming together’ as a married couple forever. This practice is particularly meaningful if you’re gonna to tie the knot on a beach or want to use sand from meaningful locations.
Cord of three strands
This religious Wedding ceremony ritual, also known as God’s knot, symbolizes the joining of one man, one woman and God into a marriage relationship with a purple string, a white and a gold. The cord of three strands ceremony could be a great addition to your big day, a truly unique element that friends and family will remember forever.
Have a handfasting
The handfasting ceremony tradition is an ancient medieval Celtic Wedding ritual, this practice involves binding the couple’s opposite hands together with a ribbon or a cord to symbolize their eternal union. You could even use colored ribbons, such as white for purity or red for passion!
Foot washing ceremony ritual
Foot washing is a Christian Wedding ceremony ritual inspired by some Bible verses in which Jesus washes his disciples’ feet. It is usually done to symbolize the couple’s service, humility and commitment to each other for the rest of their lives.
Breaking the glass
The breaking of the glass is one of the most beloved traditions of a Jewish Wedding ceremony. During the ceremony, the Groom smashes a wrapped piece of glass with his foot followed by applause from the guests. Tradition says that the couple will remain married for as long as the glass is shattered!
Planting a tree
If your Ceremony will take place outdoors, you could consider this ritual! It has no official religious or cultural ties, but taking care of a tree symbolizes growth and love. During the Wedding ceremony, the Bride and the Groom will take turns adding soil from two separate containers and water to the seedling, representing two individuals coming together as one.
Whatever style of Wedding Ceremony you and your Groom-to-be will have, there is a unity ritual which can fit with your venue and your mood. It’s up to you to choose the right one for your #destinationlove

Ci sarà un futuro per eventi & matrimoni in Italia? I sogni non si fermano!
Italian Wedding & Event Industry
Dallo scoppio della pandemia globale, i matrimoni ed il lavoro di noi Wedding Planner è stato messo a dura prova con rinvii, riprogrammazione di eventi, continui cambi di programma, dallo scorso anno ad oggi.
Il mondo è stato radicalmente stravolto, in ogni aspetto, ma noi professionisti del settore desideriamo fortemente ricominciare a lavorare. Sono oltre settemila le imprese del settore e migliaia le figure professionali che con il loro lavoro hanno sempre dato lustro all’Italia, ai suoi luoghi meravigliosi, alla sua storia, alla sua tradizione, alla sua cultura, al turismo e all’economia della regione Campania.
La scorsa settimana, in una delle città più belle d’Italia e del Mondo, davanti a Palazzo Santa Lucia io – come capo delegazione Campania – insieme ai tanti colleghi abbiamo preso parte ad una manifestazione della delegazione Federmep per far sentire la voce del nostro lavoro, la voce dei vostri sogni, di progetti e speranze, in pausa ormai da tempo. Il senso di incertezza e di mancata chiarezza, costringe a rimandare il nostro lavoro e i progetti di tante coppie di futuri sposi a data da destinarsi!
Il desiderio di celebrare l’amore e di realizzare sogni, in ogni sua forma, è più acceso di prima. Il tuo matrimonio, il tuo evento privato, non è solo un evento. È lavoro, idee, mani, forze che si uniscono per dar vita ad un sogno, un momento di condivisione e gioia, un ricordo che resta. Quando si potrà farlo di nuovo? Noi speriamo presto, con tutte le misure necessarie che questo passo richiede e con la professionalità che ha sempre contraddistinto il nostro settore. Regalare sogni non è solo un lavoro, ma una vera passione. La stessa che ci fa dire che i sogni non si fermano!
The desire to celebrate love and make dreams come true, in all its forms, is stronger than ever. Your wedding, your private event, it’s not just an event. It’s work, ideas, hands, forces that come together to give life to your dreams, a moment of sharing and joy, a memory to collect. When can we do it again? We hope soon, thanks to all the necessary measures that this step requires and with the professionalism that has always distinguished our sector. It’s not just a job, but a real passion. The same that makes us say that dreams do not stop!
