A unity wedding candle is an integral part of many wedding ceremonies today. It is a ritual used to symbolically represent joining two individual lives in an obvious physical demonstration. However, some wedding venues prohibit open flames, and when the ceremony is outdoors, there is always the fear of wind extinguishing the flame. If you are facing either of these situations while planning your wedding, a sand candle is a wonderful way to keep the unity wedding candle as part of your special day.
The unity sand candle ceremony kit contains two individual containers—one filled with white sand, the other with silver sand, the different colors representing the two individual lives being joined. During the ceremony itself, it may prove helpful to have the wedding officiant explain the meaning of the unity sand candle ritual to the guests. The result after the sand is poured is a unique blend that can never be replicated, just as the two people entering marriage make their own one-of-a-kind partnership. Long after the ceremony is over, the candle can be kept as an enduring keepsake of the wedding day.
