RING & COIN PILLOW SET

There are traditional Catholic wedding customs that involve unity candles, coins, a belu and cords. Here is the symbolism behind the exchange of coins.   

The Coins – The wedding coins are called arras. The custom of the groom giving wedding coins comes from Spain. The groom gives the bride 13 coins to symbolize their mutual prosperity. Traditionally, it was like a dowry and thus it also symbolizes his promise to support her and their family.


It’s lovely to have symbolism and traditions a part of any wedding ceremony. The unity candles are traditionally incorporated into any Catholic church service, but can also be incorporated in any chapel or civil wedding!
