Romantic and Fun Beach Weddings

Have you ever dreamed of having your wedding on a soft sand beach next to the deep blue sea under a crystal blue sky with tinkling winds gently kissing your cheeks? Isn't it so romantic to have a beach wedding?
Let's have some fun hunting for beach themed wedding items. This Seaside Allure Wedding Collection has a band of embroidered seashells with starfish detail. You can match with a starfish cake topper or any of the many beach accessories and gift items. The Sand Ceremony fits perfectly into the beach wedding theme. The heart shaped sand ceremony vase set comes with the glass stopper which allows the heart vase to be sealed and transported home. Read our Unity Sand Ceremony blog here.

Tune into the A-Channel Friday Morning

Marry Me Productions will be joining you for breakfast Friday morning on the A-Channel for two special features (starting at 7:15am). Stacey will be letting viewers know what's hot in the wedding industry for 2010 in a segment entitled "What's Hot".

Marry Me will also be planning a live on-air wedding in a segment entitled "I do Re-do". This isn't new to Marry Me though, we were happy to be part of another "I do Re-do" back in October with a wonderful couple: Ingrid and Gino on October 23 2009. The concept was thought up by the A-Channel who wanted to give married couples whose wedding days did not go as they planned, a chance to re-do their special day.

We're so excited to be part of this idea again and to get you excited, take a look at some of the photos (photos courtesy of Andrei Filippov) of Ingrid and Gino's wedding last October.

Learning has never been so much fun !

The Unity Sand Ceremony

The unity sand ceremony is known all over the world for its beauty and sanctity. The essence of the ceremony is to symbolize the union of "two into one". This sand ceremony is not only beautiful and interesting but also appropriate for an outdoor setting, such as beach wedding, mountain wedding, garden wedding, vineyard wedding, etc. where wind may blow off the unity candles.
Here is how it works:
Prior to the wedding ceremony, fill the two side vases with sand. Usually
the groom uses black sand and the bride carries white sand. You can select the color of sand similar to your wedding colors. You may consider engraving these vases with a single initial monogram.
Step 1: The groom will commerce by pouring a portion of the black sand into the central glass vase.


Step 2: The bride will follow by repeating step 1 with the white sand.
Step 3: To complete the ceremony, the groom and bride simultaneously pour the balance of their sand into the central container.

Step 4: Following the wedding, the two side vases can be used to display fresh flowers while the central vase will remain a cherished and lasting keepsake of your wedding day.
A modified version of the unity sand ceremony is the family unity sand ceremony. It is a special way to honor your blended family and get your children invited to take part. You can add additional vases and contrasting colors of sand. The mixing of the various sand colors is a fitting way to symbolize the new blended family that will result from this union. You can pour the sand into the central vase in the following order: 1. Father 2. Mother 3. Children 4. Father and Mother together.
The Heart Shaped Sand Ceremony Vase Set is a best deal as the engravable central bottle, with glass stopper, creates a beautiful reminder that will preserve the moment for years to come.
