Wedding sand ceremonies featuring hourglasses is an exciting new option for brides and grooms! Generally used as a substitute for lighting a unity candle, the bride and groom use the sand ceremony to symbolize the start of their lives together by combining sand in an hourglass.

Unity Sand Ceremony expresses the coming together of two people or two families into one new family. It is a very simple idea that can be incredibly powerful. Typically, each person has different colored sand and takes turns pouring it into one clear vessel, forming a layered effect. Sometimes just the couple participates, and sometimes the couple's children or parents join in with their own colored sand, adding to the layers of colors, and expressing the harmony of the entire family.
