Unity Sand Ceremony

The Unity Sand Ceremony is ideal for any wedding. This element symbolises the joining of the couple. This ritual is particularly special if you have young children that you would like to be involved in your ceremony.

​

Wine Box / Love Letter

Before the wedding, each of you will write a love letter to one another and seal it in an envelope, to be placed in the wine box. Choose your favourite bottle of wine or other drink of choice, along with any other memorabilia and place them in the wine box. During the wedding ceremony you will seal the box and vow not to open the box until an anniversary of your choice, hopefully, reminding you of why you fell in love and chose to be together in the first place.

​

Wine Ceremony

This element is a symbol of the two of you coming together as one. You can choose to pour one white glass and one red glass in to one glass, to create a blush that you will both drink form. Or you can pour wine into one glass that you will both drink from. Alternative drinks can also be used!
