Wedding Sand Ceremony
Beautiful Ceremony Sets and Vases

Add a spiritual touch to your special day with a wedding sand ceremony. Much like a unity candle ceremony, a sand wedding ceremony symbolizes the joining of two lives blending together as one.

The tradition of how this beautiful ceremony originated is not clear, but the symbolic implications are apparent; once the sand representing each person is combined together into one container, the grains intermingle so that they can not be separated.

And this is what the union of a marriage is all about - being together, united as one, for the rest of our lives.

Often, a wedding sand ceremony is chosen for a beach wedding service, but you certainly can perform this lovely rite of passage for any theme wedding.

The service itself only takes two to three minutes while personalized vows are recited and the sands are blended together into one vase.

What's Required

All that is required is a sand ceremony set or kit (these usually consist of sand ceremony vases - two "individual" vases and one unity vase) and your choice of wedding unity sand. Additional vases can also be purchased if more family members will be taking part in this charming ritual.

Another lovely benefit is the wonderful selection of sand colors available. Perhaps you'll decide on using colors that match your wedding theme or you may each wish to use your own personal favorite color, which you will then mix together into the central vase.

A Blending of "Blended" Families

This particular ritual is also a wonderful way to symbolize the merging of blended families. It's a great way to have your children feel a part of the ceremony too.

What a wonderful way to make children feel extra special by presenting them with their own personal vase filled with their choice of colored sand. Then, as the ceremony begins, each are invited to combine their unity sand together with your own, thus creating a truly blended family.

The end result is a wonderful keepsake that you can display for years to come.
