Handfasting Cord Colours & Their Symbolism

  • Apr 2, 2020
  • 1 min read

As I mentioned in my last blog post, traditional handfasting ceremonies will include one coloured ribbon being laid upon the couple's clasped hands after each vow is read. Here are some colour guides you may* want to use.

  • White: purity, devotion, peace

  • Red: passion, love

  • Dark Blue: strength, longevity

  • Light Blue: health, patience

  • Gray: balanced

  • Black: wisdom, empowered

  • Green: fertility, luck

  • Yellow: charm, harmony

  • Orange: plentiful, kindness

  • Purple: progress, power

  • Pink: romance, happiness

  • Gold: unity, longevity

  • Silver: protection, inspiration

  • Brown: earth, home

*MAY want to use. I say this because we are our own bodies of symbolism and if you wish to have the cord represent a different colour for you... so mote it be!

There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap-Berlinintim away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you…

Detailed and practical, this guide explains concrete rebar in a way that feels approachable without oversimplifying. The step by step clarity is especially useful for readers new to the subject.
