Unity ceremonies symbolize the coming together of two people into one loving relationship. They signify the beginning of the rest of the newlyweds' life together through marriage, and are a great way to experience this unity with their loved ones. With so many unity ceremonies out there, we decided to show you a few of our favorites!

Unity Paint
During this ceremony, the each splashes (or pour) a different color of paint onto a blank canvas. This symbolizes their unity and leaves a great piece of art work to hang in their home.

Unity Sand
Another of the more traditional ceremonies, both bride and groom take turns pouring different color of sands creating a beautiful design. Sand can be poured into vases, picture frames and much more allowing the couple to keep it as a reminder of their big day.
Unity Wine
This ceremony is for the wine lovers out there. Bride and groom pour a glass of wine into a carafe so the drinks can merge, as the couple, then allowing them to drink the wine.
