Celtic Wedding Dresses

Celtic wedding dresses - choose a beautiful renaissance gown just like your ancestors.

Traditional Celtic wedding dresses have some type of Celtic knot pattern embroidered on the bodice. The Celtic knot is the perfect symbol for Celtic wedding dresses. It is not just an attractive design, but was created as a symbol of eternity - the eternity of life, nature and love. Look closely at the knot pattern and you will see that it has no starting point and no end. Truly a design made to endure the centuries and symbolize eternity.

Brides wearing traditional Celtic wedding dresses have long used this traditional Irish Blessing during their wedding ceremonies

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sunshine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand

Celtic wedding dresses are full of symbolism, fantasy and romance.

A typical Celtic wedding dress is similar to the gowns worn by the ladies and maidens back in the times of King Arthur and Lady Geneviere. Edward Blair Leighton's painting "The Accolade" shows a beautiful example of what the perfect Celtic wedding dresses may have looked like during the magical era.
