Adding a Unique Touch to Your Traditional Wedding Ceremony

Weddings ought to be special, perfect, and memorable for those who come to join, celebrate and honor the wedding day and — the wedding couple. Because of this, most weddings are planned for months and sometimes even for years to make sure nothing gets overlooked and that the best possible options are chosen. Because of all the bustle and excitement going on for the coming day, it can sometimes be difficult to plan out the details of the actual ceremony.  Of course, you want to make your marriage ceremony unique, but with everything else you have to think about, unique ideas could easily evade you. The staff at Completely Weddings has come up with two “out-of-the-ordinary” wedding ceremony elements that you might want to include in your own wedding to make it more memorable.

Personalized Sand Ceremony Unity Kit

Aside from the traditional unity candle, coin, veil, and chord ceremonies, you can add something that’s not always done in every wedding. Instead of lighting a unity candle, you can do a unity sand ceremony where the bride and groom will each have a vial of differently colored sand to pour together into another bigger decorative container. The effect will be a totally different, blended color of sand that will beautifully symbolize how the bride and groom becomes a single new entity from two separate lives joined together by the sanctity of marriage. Use the unity sand vase as a trendy centerpiece in your new home to remind you that your love will never end throughout the years. Use the pouring vases for candles or flowers.  

Rose Ceremony

You can also choose to perform a rose ceremony.  You and your groom will give each other a single red rose.  The red rose symbolizes your undying love for each other.  Hand these roses to one of your bridesmaid to hand upside down in a cool, dry place to dry.  When you come back from your honeymoon, the roses will be dry enough for you to keep as a remembrance of your wedding vows to forever love and honor each other.  Throughout your weded years,  each time your partner hands you a rose, it will remind both of you of the day when the only thing that mattered between the two of you is the love that brought the two of you together — and, which burns brighter with each passing year.
