Handfasting cords

FI and I are wanting to do a handfasting for our wedding.  For those of you out there who did one or are going to do one...where did you find your cord(s)?  Did you make your own with ribbons you bought or did you buy a pre-made one?  I looked on Etsy and online at other places but they aren't really singing to me if you know what I mean.  We are doing one that uses all of our attendants and the officiant (so it would be ten cords) with each person laying a color across our hands one at a time so they can't be pre-braided.  So what did you all do or are you going to do?

Re: Handfasting cords

  • That's exactly what we did.  Pics and ceremony text in wedding bio.  We just used different colored cords of guimp/gimp braid, and ordered 1 yard of each color.  The only place that I could find a decent selection that would sell by the yard, not by the spool was http://www.mjtrim.com/Catalog/Category/66.aspx
    Holy Crap. We survived the first year!

  • Wow, Jennifer, I'm checking out your wedding website and I love it!  I hope you don't mind, but I'm inspired by your wedding.  I'm getting married next March, and was thinking about doing a handfasting.  I love your ceremony, it was beautiful!  Just wanted to pop in and say that.  
  • Yes your wedding was amazing!  Very very pretty.

  • a little late, but we are also making our own. We bought 9 different colours and are braiding 3 and then braiding all 3 together. We have one set done already and love it.
