Oahu Dream Weddings

The Sand Ceremony is the pouring of sand from two vessels, one for the bride and one for the groom into a single vessel at some point during the ceremony, usually after the vows, exchange of the rings, or lei exchange.

This is to represent the combining of two lives and/or the blending of two families. Our minister does not charge for this inclusion and are happy to do it for you. Children may also participate.

Decorative sand-mixing sets are easily found on the Internt in a variety of styles. They include two dispenser vases that hold the sand, a decorative glass vase or frame display to pour the sand into, and special fine grain colored sand in a selection of colors. Purchase what you like and bring it with you.

We ask if you are planning to do this, just so we can let our vendors know to ask you about it before the ceremony.

FYI: You can use beach sand but, our experience is that it's more coarse than purchased colored sand and doesn't pour smoothly but, up to you.
