The Love Letter Ritual

With the mammoth task of planning a wedding, you can often forget to take a moment to think about the most important thing - your love for each other. Your wedding day letter is a time out to reflect and put in writing during the pre-wedding madness, and a reminder that love is all you need to have the perfect wedding day. The letter can literally be read as your vows to one another at the ceremony, a wonderful way to surprise one another of your authentic feelings. Or, if you prefer, put in a time capsule to read on another special day such as an anniversary

Sand Ceremony

Sometimes referred to as a "blending of the sands" ceremony, each person pours a small container of sand (of two different colors).

The ceremony represents two people uniting as one, the vessel containing their combined sand symbolizing the marriage of their hopes, dreams, and values. It's a very visual act, perfect for outdoor weddings, that can be personalized in so many ways, including using a sentimental vessel such as a family heirloom, using multiple types of sand to represent other family members like children, or using sand from the red rocks or your favorite beaches.

Artistic Interpretation

Freehand a sketch of one another. Draw a "blind contour" of each other while never looking down at the paper. This way, you'll be able to focus on each other and show off mutual sense of humor, something that clearly brought you together.

We bring the sketching pad and pens. Frame it as a keepsake memory of your ability to "see" one another clearly.

Wine Box Ritual

Put your own stamp on your wedding ceremony. The Wine Box Ceremony Ritual, especially for couples who consider themselves wine lovers and foodies. In this ritual, each person chooses a special bottle of wine prior to the ceremony to be placed in the wine box along with a letter to your future spouse, both to be opened on your first anniversary. Think of your wine box ritual as a time capsule that captures a snapshot of your love.
