In my experience, no matter how meaningful the words of a ceremony are... wedding guests
remember what they see, not what they hear.
Not only will the family and guests be delighted, but the wedding video and photos will be rich in
imagery and creativity. The options listed below are visual and meaningful; adding substance,
creativity and dimension.
The Hand Blessing Ceremony is around 2 1/2 minutes in length; it is visual, meaningful, romantic
and has an option for humor. It is placed it before the ring exchange because it puts the focus on
the hands. I get great responses from family and friends.
The Sand Blending Ceremony is around 2 1/2 minutes in length: it is highly visual and very
meaningful. The Sand Blending Ceremony is a beautiful and significant alternative to the Unity
Candle ceremony. We provide two beautiful seashells, white sand for the bride and golden brown
or blue for the groom. The combined sand makes a wonderful wedding keepsake for the bride and
groom and a constant reminder of their promises on their wedding day.
The Red Rose Exchange is around 1 1/2 minutes in length: it is visual, meaningful and very
romantic. The Bride and Groom present to each other a red Rose as their first gift as husband and
wife. Two red roses are all that is necessary. The Red Rose Exchange is placed near the end of
the ceremony just "after" being pronounced husband and wife.
The Mothers Rose Presentation is around 1 1/2 minutes in length: it is visual, meaningful and very
touching. The bride and groom first present a rose to the brides mother; the bride embraces her
mother followed by the grooms embrace. The bride and groom then present a rose to the grooms
mother; the groom embraces his mother followed by the brides embrace.
The Unity Candle Ceremony
It is a symbolic ceremony that has the bride and groom light a single candle representing their
willingness to walk life's pathways together as one. It is placed near the end of the ceremony,
following the Ring Exchange. The mother's usually light the two outer candles as they are escorted
forward at the beginning of the ceremony.
The White Dove Release Ceremony
As a true symbol of Love, the White Dove chooses its mate for life, therefore they are a very fitting
and final addition to any wedding. They create a magical atmosphere as they circle the skies before
leaving on their new journey together.
The Wine Ceremony
The Wine Ceremony is symbolic of the pledges you have made to one another to share together
the fullness of life. Wine has certain properties that are sweet and bitter representing “Life’s
Journey”. As you drink from one cup, you acknowledge to one another that your lives, until this
moment separate, have become one.
The Breaking of the Glass Ceremony
There are many different explanations for the breaking of the glass. The glass is broken to protect
their marriage with the implied prayer...”May your bond of love be as difficult to break as it would be
to put together the pieces of this glass.” After the glass breaks , everyone is invited to shout the
Hebrew words “Mazel Tov,” meaning “Good Luck” and “Congratulations.
