3-Piece Unity Sand Ceremony Glass Vase Wedding Set*
The 3-Piece Unity Sand Ceremony Glass Vase Wedding Set is the moment in the middle of your ceremony that everyone leans forward to watch. Two of you step up with a side vase each, you pour together, and the two streams of color braid into one in the vase between you. Nobody has to say anything. The guests in the back row can see exactly what just happened.
This is a 3 Piece Classic Sand Ceremony Glass Vase Wedding Set in clear glass, modern and simple enough to sit on any altar, arbor or beach table without competing with the flowers. The middle vase stands 9"H with a 4.4" top diameter and a 2.5" bottom diameter, and the central bottle will accommodate approximately 3 lbs of sand. The two side vases stand 7"H with a 2" top diameter and a 3" bottom diameter, and each side vase holds 1 lb of sand. Set includes 3 vases as shown.
This modern glass vase set has been designed for use with sand but is equally lovely shown here with colored water. The Water Unity Ceremony is another option for couples looking for something just a little different: simply pour distinctive colors of water from the smaller vases into the larger vase to represent the union of husband and wife. Either way the result is the same, a layered keepsake you carry home and put somewhere you will walk past every day.
Then make it yours. Each vase can be engraved in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999, with your first names, your wedding date, your new surname or a line you both like. Years from now the colors are still layered in the glass and the names are still cut into it, and the shelf in your living room is quietly holding the best afternoon of your life.
It is just as moving for a blended family, with a third vase of sand poured by the children, or for a vow renewal where the layers go back a few decades.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and pour.

Which one should I choose
Couples planning the unity moment are usually choosing between sand, water and a candle, and this same glass set covers two of the three.
| 3-Piece Unity Sand Ceremony Glass Vase Wedding Set with sand | Choose it for the classic layered look that survives the drive home: about 3 lbs in the middle vase, 1 lb from each side. |
|---|---|
| The same set used for a Water Unity Ceremony | Choose it when you want something just a little different, pouring distinctive colors of water from the smaller vases into the larger one. |
| A unity candle | Choose it only for an indoor ceremony with no wind; a candle gets blown out at the end, while the vase stays layered on your shelf. |
For an outdoor or beach ceremony, and for a keepsake you still have in ten years, the 3-piece glass vase set is the safer and more lasting choice.
