A traditional Irish wedding is a very beautiful ceremony. Many couples choose to honor the ancient Celtic rite of the "union of hands" in their marriage, where the bride and groom join hands through a ribbon tied. The popular custom of marrying wearing "something blue, something new, something old and something borrowed" is of Irish origin.
Irish Brides often add to their white dresses a crown of flowers on her head reminiscent of Celtic clothing, usually lavender, and are not used on face veils. Even today many grooms choose to use the ancient Celtic blessings for a life of love even when they are practicing Christians.
