Make Your Own Sand Ceremony Set
A sand ceremony is ideal for wedding taking place on a beach, boat, backyard or in a windy location where unity candles will not stay lit or are unsafe. Like a unity candle, the sand is used to symbolize the joining of the bride and groom or the joining of their families. The sand ceremony concept has been said to have roots in the Native American and Hawaiian wedding customs.
Many sand ceremony sets are available from wedding accessory retailers, but they are very easy to make and become even more personal when you create it on your own.
