The Sand Ceremony

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

If the unity candle doesn’t quite fit with your wedding or is impractical such as in the case of an outdoor or beach wedding, try a sand ceremony instead. Using sand, the bride and groom alternately pour separate vials of colored sand into a common vessel, symbolizing their unity in a non-traditional but meaningful way. The different colored sand signifies their individual identities being forever joined together. You can find colored sand at your nearby arts and crafts store or use sand from your favorite vacation spot and get colored chalk to rub on the sand to tint the sand different colors.
