WEDDING TRADITIONS: UNITY CEREMONY

Weddings are all about the bride and groom becoming one. Thetradition of two becoming oneis symbolized through a unity ceremony, often a lightingof a unity candle or sand blending ceremony. The ideasaresimple but so meaningful!

Twoseparatecandles held by the bride and groom unite to light a bigger candle. Thisrepresents your everlastingcommitmentto one another and most importantly, your unity as a new family. A modern twist on the unity candle is the sand ceremony. Same meaning, different objects! The sand ceremony is when the couple pour two different colors of sand into a jar thatalready has the base ofa different color of sand in it. Like the unity candle, the blending of the sand represents the couples new andinseparableunion. Choose a decorative candle or a beautiful vasethat you can keep in your new home together!
