| A LOVELY CEREMONY... FOR A MEMORABLE WEDDING |
| The Sand Ceremony |
A Sand Ceremony is a wonderful way to celebrate the joining together of
your lives, and a meaningful addition to your wedding ceremony. It's also a
wonderful way to include children or other family members in the creation of
your new family. Usually, it's done after your rings have been exchanged.
Here's how it works:
Each person involved in the sand ceremony has a container with their own
individual color of sand (see below for colors available). During the Sand
Ceremony (a nice touch is to play some gentle music in the background), each
participant pours a little of their colored sand into the container; then the
next person pours in a little, taking turns, until the container is full. As the
sands blend together, a beautiful design is created, and just as the colors of
sand in the central container can never be separated into individual colors
again, so your lives can never be separated again. After your ceremony, you
have a one-of-a-kind wedding keepsake.
I offer several different containers, as well as a selection of colored sand.
Please see the details and prices below. I bring all supplies, including a small
table and lace covering, and a choice of background music. If you wish to
bring your own supplies, table and music, the wording can be included in your
ceremony at no additional charge.
| Here is a very simple illustration of how blended sands look together. Of course, each vase will be different! |
| Here are the different containers that are available. From left to right, Small Heart Vase (4"), $25; Small Round Vase (4"), $25; Medium Heart Vase (no top) (7"), $30; Medium cylinder with glass candle top (9"), $30; Large cylinder with glass candle top (11"), $35. The Medium cylinder and Large cylinder are recommended for three or more participants, as they hold more sand. Colored sand is included in price. Candles are not included. |
| I recommend that you choose at least one light color and one darker color, in order to be able to have a good contrast in your vase. The first group of colors (left to right) are the neutrals -- Black, White, Beige, Brown, Gray, and Gray/Green. The second group of colors are the soft colors -- Cranberry, Harvest, Coral, Pink, Lavender and Light Blue. The third group of colors are the Bright Colors -- Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Dark Blue and Purple. Choose the colors that express you best! |
