SAND CEREMONY INSTRUCTIONS
(Note: Follow these directives as closely as possible.
They are the result of direct experience at many weddings!)
-
Purchase
three identical bud vases or the equivalent.
-
Purchase
one clear glass vase which will be large enough to hold
all the contents of the three smaller containers. Be
sure that the large container in not too large. You
want to fill it up almost to the top with the contents of
the smaller vases. Otherwise it will not look good
at all!
-
Purchase
three or four bags of SCENIC SAND from an art supply
store. Do not use beach sand or synthetic sand,
which will blow away in the breeze! Purchase enough
GOLD GLITTER to fill one of the smaller vases. Some
couples have chosen another color such as blue or red etc.
-
Be
sure the larger vase has a wide mouth of at least four
inches or more in diameter. This will facilitate
three people trying to put their sand into the same
container at the same time.
-
Prepare
the vases well ahead of time and place them on a table
behind the officiant.
-
Alert
your wedding coordinator and D.J., photographer, musicians
that you will have music, pictures and pictures during
this part of the ceremony.
-
The
result of the blending of the sand and glitter and the
vase will become a lasting keepsake and may be displayed
in your home.
More
ideas:
Have
the vases engraved with names of the bride and groom, date of
wedding, intertwined rings or hearts.
Consider
a procession up the aisle with small children carrying the
vases and presenting them to the bride and groom. Also,
parents may present the vases to the bride and groom.
