The Unity Sand Ceremony is a beautiful complement to any wedding or vow renewal ceremony.
When you and your loved one pour your sands into your unity vase, you offer a symbolic demonstration of how your hearts have come together as one. And once poured, your sands mingle together and can never be separated – an enduring vision of how your lives have become forever intertwined.
And best of all, after you have poured your sand in this symbolic ceremony you will have a treasured keepsake that you can display in a special place in your home.
When your friends see your unity vase arranged in its place of honor they will be moved by its simple beauty and message of lasting love.
DID YOU KNOW?
In 2003, “The Bachelorette” star Trista Rehn married Ryan Sutter in a lavish ceremony watched by over 26 million people worldwide – and their Unity Sand Ceremony was the most talked-about element of their wedding! (Coincidentally, Trista and Ryan are the ONLY couple from The Bachelor and Bachelorette shows who have enjoyed long-term success with their marriage.)
 Even though the actual ceremony is quite simple and can be easily incorporated into any type of wedding celebration without too much planning, there’s a lot of advance research that must be done in order to pull it off without a hitch.
There are many questions you’ll need to answer in order to make your Unity Sand Ceremony the beautiful and symbolic event you want it to be. You’ll want to know the answer to questions such as…
- Where can you buy the sand and the vases?
- How much sand do you need?
- How does the Unity Sand Ceremony fit in with the rest of the wedding ceremony?
- What kind of vows are you supposed to recite when you pour the sands into your Unity vase?
- Do the Unity Sand Ceremony vows complement the traditional wedding vows – or replace them?
- Does the Unity Sand Ceremony work well with religious weddings, such as traditional Christian or Jewish? (The answer is YES.)
- What role does your wedding officiant play?
- How do you include children of previous relationships or other family members or friends in the pouring ceremony?
- Who pours first?
- How do you choose your colors to make sure they look beautiful and reflect the most important values of your relationship?
- How do you create an attractive pattern when pouring the sands in your vase?
- If you’re having a destination wedding, how do you pack your vase to ensure it doesn’t break or spill your precious sand all over your luggage?
- How do you make sure your vase will fit with your home décor so you and your family and friends can appreciate its beauty for decades to come?
Finding the answers to all these questions can be a long and extremely time-consuming process. You’d have to spend many hours doing research online and scouring wedding magazines and books from your local library hunting down all the information you need. Because up until recently, the answers to all these questions were never located in one convenient place.
After Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter of “The Bachelorette” fame got married in 2003 and conducted their own stunning Unity Sand Ceremony in front of 26 million people, many of my clients started asking me what I knew about this elegant ceremony.
 ... And at first my answer was, “Not very much!”
But because I was determined to provide my clients with the beautiful and meaningful ceremony they desired, I got to work. Besides, I was intrigued by what they told me about the ceremony and wanted to know more about it myself.
As a lover of aesthetic beauty with over 20 years of professional experience in design and art direction, I fell instantly in love with the simple elegance of the unity sand ceremony – and became obsessed with learning everything I could about it.
I’ll spare you the grisly details, but I spent hundreds of hours doing research online and off, accumulating all the information I could find.
And I discovered that though this beautiful ceremony has a long tradition – having been practiced for hundreds of years by both American Native Indians and Hawaiians – not much had ever been written on the subject.
So I consulted with representatives of those cultures as well as other experts in the wedding industry.
And I created a unique design approach for defining unity sand ceremony color palettes and sand pouring sequences that are guaranteed to produce beautiful and symbolic patterns – something no one else had ever done before.
And then I worked with my clients to incorporate this wonderful new element into their weddings to create ceremonies that their guests later called, “unforgettable” and “breathtakingly beautiful.”
Since then, I’ve personally helped hundreds of couples conduct their own uniquely beautiful Unity Sand Ceremonies.
I’ve helped them write Unity Sand Ceremony vows that work for all different types of wedding ceremonies, from casual beach weddings to lavish traditional Christian church weddings…
I’ve helped them incorporate their loved ones into the ceremony so it reflects the miracle of their two worlds coming together as one…
I’ve helped them select the vases and sands that created lasting works of art they now proudly display in their homes…
… And I’ve helped them choose the perfect sand colors to represent the love they feel for each AND beautifully complement their home décor.
"The Unity Sand Ceremony was a much nicer idea than other ceremonies because it’s something that we’ll always have. And the comments we got on the ceremony were unbelievable. People, including the bishop, thought that it was just awesome." ~ Linda Bain, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
As I’ve done my research and worked with my clients, I have taken notes on everything I’ve learned so that I could compile all that information in one place and share it with anyone who was interested in including a Unity Sand Ceremony in their wedding celebration.
Over the years, I have spent literally 1000s of hours accumulating all this information – so you don’t have to.
 If you’re in the process of planning a wedding – whether it’s your own or someone else’s – you’re probably pretty busy right now.
After all, what with the ceremony, reception, catering, and honeymoon to be arranged – not to mention dealing with all the family stuff and wedding party drama that can sometimes occur – there’s so much that needs to be done.
If you’re already feeling overwhelmed by everything you have to accomplish before the wedding, you might think that adding a Unity Sand Ceremony to your wedding celebration might prove to be too challenging.
Please don’t worry…
… With the information you’re about to discover, you’ll soon find this to be the easiest and most enjoyable part of your wedding planning!

"I liked how many options there were and the ability to mix and match introductions, ceremonies and ALL the variations and the great pictures as examples."
~ Bek Milne, Civil Marriage Celebrant, Perth, Western Australia
“This was such a great help for all of us. Our officiant didn’t have much experience with the sand ceremony itself. And your book helped a great deal by providing several sample introductions to choose from. It also really eased our minds knowing the order for which things should happen as well as the most appropriate vows for us to say during the ceremony.”
~ Tonya Hayden, Alpharetta, Georgia
