Sand Pouring Ceremony Kit

Product Description

The Sand Pouring Ceremony is a beautiful alternative to the unity candle lighting ceremony. This kit includes 4 cylinders: one that is 9" tall with a 3" diameter, and three that are 7 1/2" tall and 1 3/4" diameter. The large cylinder is adorned with two white hearts. Sand is sold separately.

To symbolize the joining and blending of two lives into one, it is recommended to fill one small cylinder with white sand to represent the couple's spiritual foundation. The other two small cylinders each would get filled with a different colored sand to signify the bride and the groom.

During the ceremony, each color is poured into the tall cylinder one by one. Usually the religious/church official adds about half of the the white sand first. Then, the bride adds half her sand and the groom adds half his sand. The reserved halves are poured in together by the bride, groom and church official. Thus, as this last sand is added in, it blends together. The bride and groom become one under their faith.
