Wooden Wedding Rings

So what tokens do conservationists exchange at their handfasting ceremony? We thought that wooden rings would be gorgeous and managed to find these. They are handmade in Scotland by The Wood Hut, from windfall trees.

Mine will be made from Yew, Maple and Walnut.

while Chris's will be fashioned from Oak and Yew.

All of the trees that provided these woods have ancient symbolism associated with them.

The mystical Yew is a tree of transformation and new beginnings. 

Maple tree meanings include balance, promise and practicality.

Oak is a tree representing strength and stability.

Walnut is a tree of passion, broad-horizons and spontanaety. 


Let's hope that they bring these characteristics to our marriage!
