Choosing Wedding Bands: Celtic Wedding Bands

By Liam Grant

Couples who have made the decision to tie they knot have many choices to make. Where do they settle? How will they make ends meet? Are children part of the equation? If yes, how many? Weddings are often planned in little minds many years in advance. Couples making determinations about the rest of their lives also have a decision to make about what wedding ring will represent them best. When couples choose Celtic wedding bands it is often due to their beauty, the meaning of the art itself, and the lasting significance of the designs.

Many couples choose Celtic wedding bands because of their simple beauty. Celtic art revolves around free-flowing lines that create designs such as tridents or knots. Some Celtic designs are very ornate and complex, but even the most complicated design is just a series of simple lines. Modern Celtic art has grown to include images of hearts that are linked together, and looping lines that together form a whimsical design. These designs can be looked at for a long time without becoming dull or boring.

There are also couples who choose Celtic wedding bands to symbolize their heritage. The Celtic people at one point inhabited many parts of Europe. They weren't so much a nation as they were a series of tribes that spoke related languages. There were Celts at one point in Italy, Germany, Spain, France, as well as Britain and Ireland. Those couples who have family roots that stretch to the old world, often choose Celtic wedding rings to honor where they come from. Other couples choose Celtic rings for the culture they represent. There are many people who feel Celtic art connects them to countries with strong Celtic heritage such as Ireland and England.

Couples will also choose Celtic rings because they are timeless. Unlike many trends, Celtic art has been around for centuries and is not likely to be dated anytime soon. Choosing Celtic wedding rings protects couples from feeling their rings no longer have class or style. Since couples plan to have their relationships last, they should plan on their choice of rings to not look dated.

Ultimately, the type of wedding ring a couple chooses does not determine what type of marriage they will have, but it shows a lot about their personality. A ring should represent where a couple is, and where they want to go. They should represent what they are passionate about. Couples who share passions for music, art, and culture are often the type of couple that are most likely to grow together long-term.

Globally, artists the world over continue to look to Celtic art to express themselves today. Simple lines creating such beautiful and intricate designs is one reason couples choose Celtic wedding bands. Another reason is for the historic value and link they provide. Additionally, having already withstood the test of time, Celtic rings will remain beautiful for years and years.
