If you're angling to have some kind of unity ceremony at your wedding, you're probably seeing a lot about salt covenants, sand ceremonies, and unity candles, amirite? We've talked about lots of alternative unity ceremonies before, but we've got even more we wanted to collect and share with you to get your brain buzzing.
This time around, we're talking about a glow stick ceremony, a baking ceremony, a Beetlejuice sandworm ceremony, a honey ceremony, and even a lightsaber candle ceremony. Then we're going to show you a particularly awesome ceremony that gives you a super shmancy physical piece of evidence of the day to keep on display from our sponsor Unity in Glass. Let's jam about unity ceremonies, people!
Glow stick ceremony
Jodi and Kim used the magic goo inside a glow stick to make their ceremony pop with fluorescent color.
Baking ingredients ceremony
You'll want to see the ingredients that Alicia and Andrew used in their baking-themed ceremony to symbolize all the tenets of their love. Plus, it just looks delicious.
Unity tiki torches
Andrea and Patrick asked their parents to help them light UNITY TIKI TORCHES! So much kitschy radness.
Honey tasting ceremony
Liz and Onyx took turns feeding each other a nip of honey for their unifying treat. I'm digging this food trend. Remember the unity sandwich?!
Beer brewing ceremony
Speaking of nom-ables, SarahKat & Ryan used their love of beer brewing to craft up this beer-themed ceremony complete with hops.
Sand ceremony featuring a sandworm
Beth and Brian channeled their Beetlejuice love into their ceremony by including a sandworm.
Lightsaber candle ceremony
Giovanna and Jonathan got their geek on with a twist on a candle lighting ceremony by using lightsaber candles.
Colored glass ceremony that creates a permanent piece of art
While we go bananas over these unity ceremonies, one of our favorites has to be from our awesome sponsor, Unity in Glass. The biggest difference between a normal unity ceremony and Unity in Glass is that after the ceremony, you end up with one of the most beautiful sculptures ever to commemorate the day and keep on display. In a nutshell, you order colored glass crystals in your wedding colors, combine them in your own way during your unity ceremony, send them back to Unity in Glass, and they create a sculptural piece using your unique colored glass that lasts forever.
Unity in Glass can also make additional items (ornaments, paperweights, fluted bowls, infinity bowls, inventions pulled from your imagination), and create additional pieces from your remaining crystals for gifts to parents, children, or close friends. It's customizable and pants-droppingly gorgeous.
