What Is a Wedding Chasuble?
A wedding chasuble is the outermost liturgical vestment worn by a priest for the celebration of the Eucharist, worn here for the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony during the Nuptial Mass. It is a wide, sleeveless mantle that slips over the head and hangs open at the sides. Because the Church associates white and gold with joy and solemnity, wedding chasubles are most often made in white, cream, or gold, often finished with embroidered wedding motifs such as rings or intertwined hearts.
Symbolism and the Liturgical Colour
White and gold are the liturgical colours used for celebrations of joy, which is why they are the standard choice for a Nuptial Mass. Our wedding chasubles are made in cream and gold tones, with gold embroidery and gold satin trim on the belt, so the vestment matches the character of the sacrament.
What Comes in the Set
Several models in this category are supplied as a set: the product descriptions list an inner stole included with the chasuble, embroidered with golden crosses at both ends and at the neck. On those models the stole is coordinated in design and colour with the vestment, so the priest can wear the full matching set for the wedding.
