This is one of those things that you definitely can cut out,
but many couples are doing it now and Erica wanted to do it. So, I got
creative! I made my own sand!
Since, Erica had a country wedding, she used a mason jar as her vase. She also had white sand at her house. I had two skinny vases and we poured the colored
sand in there. Erica wanted blue and white which was super easy. I left half the sand white and dyed the other half.
To dye the sand, this is what I did…
What I needed…
- Sand
- Food Coloring
- Zip lock Bag
What I did …
- I placed the amount of sand I was going to use in a plastic ziplock bag.
- I added a few drops of blue food coloring.
- Then I shook and mixed up the bag until the color was evenly mixed through the sand.
- I kept adding food coloring until I got the exact color I wanted.
- It was a SUPER easy process.
I believe that the
Dollar Tree does carry sand sometimes in the art aisle. The one problem is
getting enough of the right color.
If you want Unity
Candles, a few cheaper options are …
- Check out Dollar Tree: You can buy the 2 Taper Candles and maybe even the pillar candle
- You can also use a smaller candle as long as it’s on a large candle holder.
- Borrow the candle holders or buy something that you would use a decoration for your house
- Check out thrift stores. Many times they actually have the fancy unity candles. They may be already lit but no one will be close enough to see that.
- Ask
your friends or church members. They may have some candles you can borrow.
