Planning
a Sand Blending Wedding
Wedding Ceremony Checklist
Increasingly
popular both indoors and outdoor wedding ceremonies, sand blending ceremony is often used as a
substitute for unity candle ceremony. Here are the steps that go into
the sand blending ceremony:
-
In enacting the sand blending ceremony, the bride and groom will use one
large container as the unity or family container, and two smaller containers
as the individual containers.
-
When the wedding ceremony takes place on the beach, the favoured containers are
a large sea shell as the family container, and smaller seashells containing
the sands used by the bride and groom.
-
The sea shells are not as easy to find as they should be, and many bride
and groom use such substitute containers as transparent glasses, vases and
vials for the blending of sand wedding ceremony.
-
To be most effective, the large family container is placed in the
middle of a small table, with the smaller containers on each side.
-
When the wedding ceremony is being conducted, the couple stand behind the table
so that all the guests can see the pouring of the sands.
-
The sands might be plain, or they might consist of coloured sand for
visual effect.
-
When children are involved in the sand-blending
wedding ceremony, the sands
might be poured by the bride and groom and the children together.
-
When the wedding includes several children from each side of the family, the sand
might be first poured in by the bride and groom, then by the groom's children,
and then by the bride's children.
-
The pouring of sand should be done unhurriedly, and the action could be
backed by appropriate background music.
-
Some practicalities to watch
is that the openings of all containers are not too narrow. If the wedding ceremony is
out of doors, also watch the strength of the wind so that the sand
isn't diverted before it gets into the family container.
-
Apart from using the local sand, there are also numerous colours which
can be chosen, including a different colour for the bride and groom, and for
each of the children.
-
Another idea chosen by some couples is that
the sand used is from the area in which the bride and groom come from.
