The sand pouring ceremony.

Sand pouring rituals are ancient traditions that have been practised by different cultures for centuries. These rituals involve pouring sand into a container, often with different colours of sand representing different aspects of life. The act of pouring sand can symbolise a variety of things, from unity and togetherness to the blending of families.

One of the most well-known sand pouring rituals is the Unity Sand Ceremony, which is often performed at weddings. During this ceremony, the couple pour sand from separate containers into a single container, representing the merging of their lives and the creation of a new family.

The colours of the sand can be chosen to represent different aspects of the couple's personalities or even the wedding theme. This ritual is a lovely opportunity to get other members of the family involved in the ceremony, by adding more layers of sand to the container, which can then be displayed at home. The sand ritual is often chosen by couples who already have children, to symbolise the blending of two families.
