'Handmade Hand Fasting bindings to help you 'Tie the Knot'. 

One of the origins of Handfasting is in ancient Celtic mythology. Traditionally, when two people were brought to be married, a cord or piece of material was used to bind the couple’s hands together during the ceremony. This symbolised the joining of two lives and two families and is where the expression ‘tying the knot’ comes from.

At 'Where Joy Resides by JBQ' we love working with couples to create a binding for your handfasting ritual that represents everything that's important to you. We craft it keeping in mind that it may, one day, become a family heirloom. Please do get in touch to find out how we can create a bespoke binding for you. 

We also specialise in handmade Vow Booklets upon which to pen your carefully considered words of love. Each booklet comes with 4 blank pages of cream 120gsm paper. You can choose between Clotted Cream, Midnight Green or Blush Pink. The Love that fills these booklets? Well that's all yours.
