THE UNITY SAND CEREMONY

The Unity Sand Ceremony is a novel alternative for the popular "unity candle ceremony" incorporated
into many of today's weddings. The essence is to symbolize the union of "two into one". This sand version
is not only beautiful and interesting but also more appropriate for an outdoor setting. With the addition of
fresh flowers, these distinctive vases will make an intriguing addition to a home's décor.

HOW IT WORKS:
1) The Groom will commence by pouring a portion of the black sand
into the central glass vase.


2) The Bride will follow by pouring a portion of the white sand also
into the central vase creating a layered effect.


3) To complete the ceremony, the Groom and Bride simultaneously
pour the balance of their sand into the central container.

4) Following the wedding, the two outside vases can be used to display
fresh flowers while the central vase will remain a cherished keepsake
of your wedding day.

THE FAMILY SAND CEREMONY
The Sand Unity Ceremony has become a very popular option. With the
addition of these coordinating Miniature Nesting Vases and contrasting
colors of sand, now children can be invited to take part. The mixing of the
various sand colors is a fitting way to symbolize the new Blended Family that
will result from this union. Although there are no set guidelines for this
ceremony, generally the sand is poured into the central vase in the
following order:
1. Father
2. Mother
3. Children
4. Father & Mother together.
Readings and sentiments can be customized as desired.
