have you heard of unity sand? you can include a unity sand ceremony on your big day. pouring sand from two containers into one represents your lives becoming one through marriage. sometimes the unity sand replaces lighting a unity candle.

brian and i love the beach and would live there if we could! for our wedding, we collected random vases for a long time and then added sand and white candles to use as centerpieces along with flowers. they gave the room a wonderful glow! check out other details from our big day here!
i kept one of the sand/candle vases from the wedding and put it on a shelf with one of our engagement pictures. reminds me of the good memories of that day!

coral and sand wedding board... if incorporating sand in your wedding
is too much of a hassle, consider sand as an accent color.
it's soft, subtle, and calming.
