Telling Your Love Story Through Charms: Adding a Little Magic to Your Wedding

Weddings are full of tiny details that mean the world; a borrowed hairpin from a grandmother, a favourite flower tucked into a bouquet, or a song that instantly brings back the moment two people first met. One of my favourite ways to add something personal and a little bit magical to a wedding is through charms.

Charms have been used for centuries as tokens of luck, love, protection, and new beginnings. They might be small, but they carry so much meaning. When you choose them thoughtfully, they become little reminders of your story as a couple, the moments that shaped you and the things that make your relationship unique.

A Charm for Every Kind of Love Story

We have a classic range of charms that will always have their place in weddings. Hearts, horseshoes, eternity symbols, and other timeless favourites. These are perfect if you want something meaningful, beautiful, and instantly recognisable.

Some couples like to go beyond the classics, asking for something entirely unique to their story. Recently, I’ve helped source charms such as padlocks, bats, dogs, horses, and even skulls, each chosen for its special symbolism:

• Padlocks – Commitment and unbreakable bonds

• Bats – Intuition, transformation, and embracing change

• Dogs – Loyalty, companionship, and unconditional love

• Horses – Freedom, adventure, and shared journeys

• Skulls – Protection, individuality, and celebrating life

  
  

These charms aren’t part of the standard shop range, but can be sourced or created for couples who want something personal and meaningful. If you have an idea, big, small, or a little unusual, just ask. I love helping couples bring their vision to life.s of romance and good luck that will always have their place.

How Charms Can Tell Your Story

What I love most about charms is how personal they can be. No two couples are the same, and your wedding details shouldn’t be either. Charms let you weave little parts of your life into the day in a subtle, meaningful way.

You might choose:

✨ A symbol that reminds you of where you first met

✨ Something that reflects a shared passion or hobby

✨ A way to honour loved ones who can’t be there

✨ A charm that has brought you luck over the years

✨ Or something that simply feels like the two of you

Together, they become a miniature version of your love story — a handful of tiny symbols that say more than words ever could.

A Keepsake to Carry Forward

Charms attached to handfasting cords aren’t just for the ceremony. They become keepsakes to treasure long after the wedding, a reminder of the vows you shared and the story you’re writing together. Many couples even continue to add charms for anniversaries or milestones, letting their collection grow alongside their story.
