The Unity Sand Ceremony is a beautiful wedding ritual. It represents leaving two separate lives to make one life together. The Bride and Groom pour into one vase, at the same time, two individual colors of sand. Their flowing together creates a design made by the couple as they share their first experience of unity as husband and wife.
The newly formed union is represented by the intertwined pattern of sand created by the couple. This symbol is then a keepsake of their wedding day.
The Unity Sand Ceremony can also be altered in many ways to include other people. Individual vases in different colors can be given also to family and friends who will add their sand to the couple’s sand, all flowing into the container, creating a colorful and one-of-a kind symbol of unity.
In an age where couples are planning weddings that are unique to their beliefs and lifestyle, the Sand Ceremony can be personalized in many different ways to fit the occasion.
