To reflect the joining and blending of two lives into one, it is suggested to fill one cylinder with white sand to represent the couple’s spiritual foundation and to fill the other two cylinders each with a different colored sand to represent the individuals. During the ceremony each color is poured into the tall cylinder one by one (usually the celebrant adds the white sand first) and then all three are added together at the top to symbolize the union.

Kit includes three small 7 3/4" tall decanters, a large 10 3/4" tall keepsake decanter, corks and paper funnel. Each small decanter represents bride, groom and officiant or children of the couple; sand from small decanters is blended into larger decanter during ceremony. Sand sold separately.
