12 Irish Wedding Traditions and Their Significance - Brides

Invited to an Irish wedding? You may be familiar with some of the Irish wedding traditions used in the ceremony and at the reception—but you might not know what they signify or mean. Irish weddings are some of the most romantic and soulful ones to attend—even if you aren't Irish. You'll enjoy the celebration even more by understanding the sentiment behind these Celtic traditions and symbols of love. 

"Many of our wedding traditions originated from the fear of evil spirits in ancient Ireland and other parts of Europe," says Nora Sheils of Bridal Bliss Events. "While some traditions are relevant today like wearing a veil and carrying fragrant flowers, others are not like getting married during harvest or before lent, eating salt on your wedding day, or that Saturdays are considered an unlucky day to tie the knot."
