mixing of the sands box
mixing of the sands box
This is the alternative to the unity candle at weddings. It’s called a mixing of the sands. The bride and groom each have a different colored sand and they each pour the sand in the box. As the sand mixes one it symbolic meaning is becoming one. Two it creates a cool design that is a wedding keepsake. This is mine from our wedding last year.

Beautiful! I need to find out more about those. Have several young friends getting married this year. Where can I get more information on designs and history?

I really don’t know. I saw my cousin had a plane black rectangular box with glass and one hole. So I just created mine. Added two holes of which was very easy for both of us to pour the sand in. My cousin stated that the one hole made a mess. Plus they didn’t get a cool sand design. One thing is make sure its sealed completely. I would just go off of mine. Change the design make one horizontal with a elongated slot so the can pour the sand in a fashion to get a wave effect. Do one as a quater circle etc.
