Submitted By: Heirloom Hourglass

If you are recently engaged and planning a Wedding, you are probably thinking of all the things you need to do to make your special day perfect. A ceremony site, the florist, the photographer, a reception site, the dress, the cake, the vows and much more all combine for creating the kind of Wedding Day you've been hoping for. As you pour through the magazines, attend bridal shows, and browse the internet looking for ideas to bring it all together, you may begin to ask yourself how you can capture the moment you're working so hard to achieve in a very symbolic way that will take you back to your perfectly planned Wedding many years from that day.

For many couples, including a Unity Ceremony in their Wedding is regarded as a deeply symbolic way to really capture the essence of their Wedding Day. Traditionally performed using a Unity Candle or Roses, this ceremony brings together the couple, the families, and all their planning, hopes, and aspirations in a single moment. The Unity Ceremony is viewed by many as a unique expression of the culmination of the couple's journey through their lives that resulted in their union of marriage and the joining of their families. The Unity Candle, roses, or other items used in the Unity Ceremony are intended to become a Wedding Day Keepsake that will symbolize the couple's love far into their future together.

For today’s couples, the Unity Sand Ceremony has emerged as a popular new trend in Weddings everywhere. Having gained national exposure through its use in very exclusive celebrity Weddings, the Sand Ceremony has become a highly sought after addition to Weddings around the world. The joining and blending of the sands during a Wedding Unity Sand Ceremony is widely regarded as the ultimate symbol of the union of the couple and their families, and serves as a unique and touching addition to any Wedding. The Wedding Sand Ceremony has been commonly performed using vases, and is very popular in beach weddings, outdoor weddings, resort weddings, destination weddings, and theme weddings, and can easily be incorporated into a church wedding.

The Hourglass Wedding Unity Sand Ceremony takes the deep symbolic value of the sand ceremony a step further by incorporating the use of an hourglass. The Hourglass Ceremony allows you to fill the hourglass with real beach sand or colored sand, then seal it and keep it forever, making it the perfect Wedding Day Sand Ceremony solution. To perform the Hourglass Wedding Unity Ceremony, all that is needed is the fillable Hourglass, two sand holders or shells found on the beach, the ceremony to be read by the Wedding Officiant, and a glass funnel for filling the hourglass. Before the Wedding, the couple collects sand from a place or places that have special meaning to them. These places may include a beach the couple went to with family when they were children, the first beach they ever went to together as a couple, or from the beach where they first saw the ocean. Many couples also use colored sand. Utilizing different colors of sand is the perfect way to match wedding colors, symbolize the couple, their families, and it is also the ideal way to include extended family and children. During the Wedding, the Officiant reads the ceremony, and the couple pours their sands into the hourglass at the same time. As the sands begin to blend and flow together and the hourglass is sealed, the couple has captured the essence of their Wedding Day, preserved the memories, and created an heirloom that can be passed down through many generations of their new family.

The hourglass is widely regarded as the ultimate symbol of the passage of time, making it the perfect Sand Ceremony accessory. Each evening, or whenever they wish, the couple may turn the hourglass over and watch their sands from their Wedding Day flow and blend together more and more over time. This is deeply symbolic of their marriage and their love, and it will take them back to how they felt on their Wedding Day for many years to come.

If your ceremony site prohibits the use of candles, or if you are planning an outdoor wedding, beach wedding, or theme wedding, you may want to consider the use of the Hourglass Sand Ceremony. If the traditional sand ceremony has always appealed to you, but you have been looking for a way to create an heirloom and to allow for the sands to flow together whenever you wish, an Hourglass is definitely your answer.
