Sand Art Heart & Seashells

Sand Art Heart with Shells

Our Signature Sand & Seashells Heart ~

Among a few other beach wedding services unique to just us, and included free with every Officiant service we do, is a our popular, sand-groomed art heart outlined in seashells and imprinted with swirls and flourishes–unique to each couple.  Each one is unique, made by hand, and we have made over 1,900 of them so far, since 2011. In our first year of services, this design evolved as we saw and felt the underlying need for a marking of your very special spot on the beach because:

  • It “attunes” and adorns the area for the great honor about to happen upon it…your wedding
  • Gives the wedmates couple a visual reference point of where to stop and stand
  • Gives guests a visual reference point of where they may gather around
  • Allows the Minister/Officiant to meditatively create it and then gift it to the couple
  • It becomes symbolic of literally standing in your Heart while you vow a lifetime of Love together
  • How do we make this art?  Come see us do it for yourself! ♥

Unique Sand Ceremonies & Bottle

Unique Sand Ceremony & Bottle

Our Signature Sand Ceremony & Glass Heart Bottle ~

Our unique and lovely sand ceremonies are included free in every ceremony which our Officiant/Minister performs. It’s easy, fun, meaningful and very pretty!

During our unique sand ceremonies, as your Officiant guides you through it:

  • each of your scoop up some beach sand from beneath your own feet, right where you stand for your ceremony, then
  • place that natural sand ceremonially in a big yellow seashell
  • then together you pour it into a sturdy, pretty, keepsake glass bottle which is heart-shaped (we provide bottle or use yours)
  • last, we say a short lid/cork-closing blessing (or non-religious closuree) to ‘seal’ it all 
  • See below pictures 
  • The bottle is 4.5 inches tall, 3 inches wide, and 2.5 inches thick 
  • You may include guests, kids, family at no extra charge, or the two of you only.

Afterward, couple keeps that lovely heart-shaped bottle of loved sand, as our gift, no charge of course. Take it for engraving later or as-is. At your home, perhaps you might set it on a special shelf or nook in your home as a truly  meaningful keepsake.

  • Note, just in case:  IF your beach sand is damp (its the beach, it might be…) during ceremony, when you are home again, open and leave the top off bottle for several days to dry out more thoroughly. You want it very dry.
  • We also offer an ‘off-beach’ version which is equally fun, cool & lovely! We bring a cute pail of local beach sand and same bottle to the ceremony and add a few words telling everyone what sand in the pail, too.
