Since our ceremony sites at La Venta & Verandas are typically outdoors, we often see a sand ceremony as opposed to the Unity Candles.  It is a great idea for a symbolism of uniting the couples many qualities and virtues.  With the sands blended together this beautiful vase can be displayed within their home to remind all who see it of that moment when they blended their lives together with the blessings of their families and dearest friends.  I liked this particular style of vases (with the heart-shapes).  This couple purchased this set from:  www.weddingstar.com.  It is called “Heart Shaped 6-Piece Vase Set”.
