I Want to Do a Sand Ceremony♡
Have you heard of the popular wedding performance, the Sand Ceremony (the Sand Mixing Ritual)?
The Sand Ceremony is a performance where the bride and groom pour different colored sands into the same container, symbolizing "two individuals who have walked different paths, now moving forward together," which is a beautiful meaning♡
For the Sand Ceremony, it is common to use creatively designed containers, such as jars or three-dimensional boards,
but recently, using an【hourglass】 has become romantic and stylish♡
Right now, a certain hourglass specialty shop is gaining attention♩
Recommended Hourglass Specialty Shop "Sablier de Verre"*
The speciality shop for hourglasses is "Sablier de Verre," located in Sendagi, Tokyo.
The owner has fulfilled a childhood dream of becoming an hourglass shopkeeper,
and the shop is filled with romance, aiming to share the charm of hourglasses with the whole country*
The shop always has over 100 types of products from hourglass artisans, of which "only three exist in the country,"
and it is also possible to order custom hourglasses with memorable sand or original designs♡
Since it’s rare to find a specialty shop dedicated to hourglasses, it makes you want to visit at least once♩
There are Wedding Ceremony Hourglasses for Weddings♡
At "Sablier de Verre," there are hourglasses specifically for wedding ceremonies*
They come as a set with a wooden frame, the main body, and sand packed in small bottles,
and the way to use it involves guests pouring sand into the main body at the reception (welcome space).
There are two colors of sand, one for the groom's side and one for the bride's side, and initially, the sand appears speckled like this*
When the bride and groom turn it over, the sands fall in circles♩
During the wedding, when the bride and groom place the lid on the wooden frame and turn it over, the two types of sand fall in double circles♡
Just like this♡
It’s very beautiful as it evokes the concept of "eternity," don’t you think?
The reason it forms a double circle like this is that the sands have different specific weights, causing the heavier one to fall first.
No matter how many times it is turned over, it creates the same circles♩
After the performance, placing it around the welcome space or on the high table for guests to enjoy is also lovely.
