Pumpkin Coach Arras Wedding Coins

The Unity Coins (also known as Las Arras or Arrhae) is a traditional element of Filipino Catholic weddings that originated from Spain. Our coin box is designed in the style of a sphere, symbolizing endlessness and infinity.

In Catholic ceremonies, a Coin Bearer or Sponsor presents the wedding officiant with 13 coins, which represent Jesus Christ and his 12 apostles. In non-denominational weddings, the coin ceremony represents the couple's sharing of worldly goods, and their promise to support one another for richer or poorer.

Though the coin ceremony is conventionally a Catholic tradition, we encourage you to incorporate Filipino ceremony accessories into your wedding, no matter your religious background.

We have more Arras available within our Filipino Wedding Ceremony collection.

How To Incorporate Las Arras Into Your Wedding

In traditional Filipino weddings, the Coin Bearer presents the officiant with the Arras, who blesses the coins. The officiant then gives the coins to the groom, who trickles them into the bride's hands as a sign of his promise to support her and their family.

Today, financial responsibilities are generally shared between the couple. In this case, the first person trickles the coins into their partner's hands, who then does the same. Read more about Filipino Wedding Traditions
