Unity Sand

After you've selected the perfect unity vase set(s) for the style of your wedding and nature of your sand ceremony (bride and groom only, blended family ceremony, etc.), it's time to select the unity sand that will create the effect that you desire. The unity sand ceremony is a touching, romantic presentation to behold but is enhanced by the visual of the beautiful colored sand flowing into the keepsake vase.

Early sand ceremonies involved couples scooping a bit of beach sand from near their feet and pouring it into a vase or other receptacle. Today, couples have the option of using colored sands to create something that is visually stunning and uniquely theirs.

The sand colors chosen often reflect the couple's favorite colors, the wedding colors, the color scheme of their shared home (or room where vases will be displayed), complementary colors or colors that evoke a certain feeling. Ideally, the chosen colors will have enough contrast to result in a well-defined, striated pattern in the vase.

Perfect for the unity sand ceremony, Crystalline Quartz sand is extra-fine and lustrous. It's available in a bevy of colors, so finding just the right colors to carry out your vision should be a cinch.

If complementary colors are desired, consulting the color wheel is your best bet. Simply select colors that are directly opposite each other on the wheel (i.e. green and purple, or orange and blue).
