This is in my top 5 favorites of my wedding layouts I've done. When Adam and I first started planning our wedding, one of the first things we decided on was that we would do a unity sand ceremony instead of using candles. It was still a fairly new thing, so a lot of friends and family were a little thrown off at first. I feel it's more symbolic of unity with the joining of the different colors of sand and that they can never again be separated into two parts again, unlike the candle flame which gets blown out. Adam and I used blue and yellow sand, our wedding colors. We added a nontraditional part to our ceremony. We had a vase of white sand that our Pastor poured on the top of our sand to symbolize that God is the number one priority in our marriage (Adam's idea).
The border was cut from another page and then placed around the bg piece. All the photos are matted with black cs then I used some maroon cs from Betty and Sarah's stash and double matted the 3 photos. I used 2 border punches on this. On the 5x7 photo I used a Martha Stewart punch, I also punched out a small border with the same punch and placed it on the bottom edge of the small photo at the bottom, then I stitched in the holes and placed bling at every other point. On the mat of the other photo I used an EK Success punch. The flowers and bling are from Betty's stash, as well as the ribbon on the left side of the large photo. On the right side of the middle photo is a border stamp of mine I used that says, "love." The title and subtitle are stamps. Under the large photo is a journal tag that describes the meaning of the sand ceremony that I I found online on a site where you can buy vases and sand for the ceremony. I printed onto maroon cs and then matted with black. I punch a small hole in the top and added an eyelet and some fibers. The tag reads:
"Meaning of the sand ceremony: The flowing sand and blending of the two colors in the unity sand ceremony symbolize the bringing together of two lives into one. The two sands symbolize everything that the bride and groom have been or will become in the future. The blending of the sand represents the union not only of them, but their friends and families as well. The separate sands once poured into the unity vase can never be put back into their separate vases. They are forever entwined just as the lives and loves of the bride and groom."
That's all for this one, I know it's a rather long description, thanks for stopping by!
