If you’re considering a unique, personalised wedding blessing, Wildflower creates ceremonies that are meaningful for you, in places that are special to you.
In light of all you have shared, a wedding blessing can carry even more gravitas than the vows you first made in marriage – to know someone truly, and to celebrate your commitment to them in full knowledge of both their shadow and their light, is a profound expression of love.
While wedding blessings have gained more visibility in recent years, this sacred recognition of love and commitment has been celebrated by couples for decades in Italian culture, and even the Church of England offers a service called “Thanksgiving for marriage” for couples wanting a wedding blessing.
The journey of a marriage is something so deeply intimate; the richness of your stories meshing and intertwining in a history so vast and intricate it creates entire worlds. This then, is your time to stand and behold all you have brought into existence, together pulling the warp and weft of life, weaving the extraordinary into the everyday, choosing one another through trials and triumphs, over and over again.
“Tell me a story of who you are, and see who I am in the stories I live. And together we will remember that each of us always has a choice.” (Oriah Mountain Dreamer.)

In recent years, many couples celebrate special anniversaries with a wedding blessing – whilst some choose to bless their wedding every year in an intimate ceremony between themselves, or themselves and a celebrant.
There are no legal restrictions or necessities for couples who would like a wedding blessing, so together we are free to create a ceremony that resonates with your heartfire and truly honours the paths you have chosen to tread.
For those who feel a strong connection to nature, the Avalonian Celtic Handfasting is performed around the alchemic elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The sacred nature of this ceremony means it is unscripted – I have been put through my paces to earn the right to perform this stunning ceremony, and it has been worth every second.
This ancient rite of handfasting is offered by Wildflower to those of all faiths and none, and can be as spiritual as you would like to make it. Even if you are of no spiritual inclination at all, this meaningful ceremony, steeped in joyful tradition, is a stunning way to honour the pledges you made in love, witnessed by your friends and family.
The Avalonian handfasting ceremony invites beloveds on a journey around the wheel of the elements – earth, air, fire and water – the building blocks that make up all life in the universe and a mirror to the journey of a long-term relationship. During this ceremony, couples can celebrate a wedding blessing by way of being handfasted with a ‘hoop and wand’, inviting blessings of the wisdom you have accumulated and the excitement of the years to come.
Whether you would like to choose a completely bespoke ceremony, or the Avalonian handfasting, it would be my honour to create you the service that brings you joy and paves the way for your future prosperity.
