Bringing Sand Ceremony Home


Recommended Posts

I found this great website that actually sells glass stoppers for their sand containers or gel candle making stuff... here check out the website.. I will be buying the maple colored lid... such a cool idea!!!

 

 

Does anyone know - can this be done with regular candle wax or do you need special gel candle waxhuh.gif

Is this hard to do??

I transported our beach sand from Mexico back without a problem, no one in customs stopped us. Of course I had that baby wrapped as much as possible in bubble wrap. The vase I used was heart shaped and cost a dollar at walmart, came with a cork....can't beat that!!! It was cheap and served its purpose. We added seashells to it that we collected on the beach also.

I have a question to all you brides who have already done the sand ceremony... how much sand of each color did you need? I have received my order of my colored sand and they are 1pound bags each... is that going to be enough? Plus we will be adding the sand from the beach to the bottom of the vase?? Can anyone help me out with thishuh.gif Thanks!!! :)

As far as taking the sand there - leave it in its original container so there arent' any questions at customs. When you bring it back make sure to fill it all the way and tap...tap...tap. Otherwise your sand will shift and become all swirled up and will look funny like mine did (boo!)

 

I carried mine back in my carryon and since we had connnecting flights we had to be re-screened. The screener made me un wrap the bottle because they thought I was taking a bottle of liquid on. Once I showed them what it was and told them it was from my wedding they were really nice and sent me on my way.

Its that latest craze for weddings... usually destination weddings.. it is the ceremony just like a unity candle ceremony, except its unity sand ceremony.. you buy the colors of your wedding in sand and then your husband pours one color and you pour the other color blending the two sands together like blending your hearts together as one.. or a unity candle.. same idea... hope that helps!!!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
