A unity sand pouring ceremony is a modern alternative to the traditional unity candle ceremony. In this ceremony, the bride and groom (and sometimes the clergy and/or children of the couple) hold small containers filled with colored sand and take turns pouring the sand into a larger container, creating beautiful layers of colorful sand to represent the blending of their individual lives into one. This larger container then becomes a lasting keepsake of the special day.

This beautiful unity sand ceremony set includes one large cylinder featuring the verse "This day I married my friend" in white lettering and three smaller cylinders. The large keepsake cylinder is 9" tall and 3" in diameter; each smaller cylinder is 7½" tall and 1¾" in diameter. Additional smaller cylinders are sold individually for sand pouring ceremonies with more participants.

The picture shows a personalized large "This day..." unity sand ceremony cylinder filled with white, purple, and emerald green sand. Sand is sold separately in 1 pound bags and is available in 16 colors.

You can have your two first names and event date engraved on the large cylinder (as shown in picture) and individual names engraved on each small cylinder to make them truly special keepsakes! Personalized cylinders are sold separately or as a 4-piece set:
