How to make DIY handfasting cords PLUS handfasting cord ideas
There is no right or wrong way to make handfasting cords, and they can be as elaborate or simple as you want them to be. It really comes down to what you want to represent yourselves, or what is easiest for you.
Severina & Seraphim Seattle handfasting
Part of what I love so much about Offbeat Bride is that I feel like it’s all about finding inspiration outside of my little aesthetic bubble. For instance, I’m soooo not a native of the goth/industrial/fetish scene, but I can find about 10 inspiring things in the wedding photo below, which is from Severina & Seraphim‘s Seattle handfasting.

Lisa & Rowly’s kid-friendly campsite wedding
Since both our families were from out of state, we searched for a place where we could be together for a weekend. We wanted more of an experience than just a few hours of the traditional ceremony, food and dancing. We lucked out finding the Woods at Wihakowi, which is about 5 miles from our own house. It was small enough that we could take it over for the weekend but had enough space (36 acres!) that everyone could spread out.
