Sand Ceremony Complete Kit - Hourglass

A sand ceremony is a symbolic ritual often performed during weddings or other celebrations. It involves pouring sand from separate containers into a single vessel, representing the merging of two lives or families into one. The blending of the sand symbolises the unity and commitment between the individuals involved.  It's your opportunity to personalise your ceremony and create a keepsake.

In this kit you will receive:

• An hourglass and wooden base stand.
• The number of chosen 'individual bottles' with sand (these have shrink-wrapped plastic over the cork for transport, so please remove for your ceremony. Although they have perforations, sometimes scissors is easier!)
• Mini funnel
• Choice of closures - bung & stickers

• Main Blending Bottle

Understanding Sand Density

Not all sands are created equal. Our coloured sands generally come in two different grain sizes 0.2mm (fine) and 0.5mm (medium), some are in between.

Because finer grains are ground more, 100g of 0.2mm sand will take up more space than 100g of 0.5mm sand. In other words, you’ll receive the same weight, but the volume will vary depending on the texture you choose. See the example picture in the listing.

0.2mm (fine) – smooth, silky texture, sits higher in the jar

0.5mm (medium) – slightly coarser, fills less space for the same weight

Both blend beautifully and are perfect for symbolic ceremonies.

Please note sand colours may differ slightly due to the manufacturer process and availability.

I do not manufacture the sand; it is sourced from various locations across Europe and the UK.  Please be aware that this sand is for decorative purposes only and not designed as play stand for children. There have been various dyes used to create the variety of colours I offer so be careful as they may stain clothing.

Personalisation

There is an option to personalise the wooden base, please choose this option should you wish this.  There is an additional fee for personalisation.

A mock-up of your design is sent prior to dispatch for approval.

If you have any questions, or wish to discuss creating your perfect kit, please get in touch.  I would love to create something totally unique to you.

For the perfect sand ceremony experience, I suggest not transferring the sand from the airtight bags to the individual glass bottles until the day of your ceremony, air moisture can affect sand texture and its performance. 

Please do check your kit thoroughly when you receive it.  I know these kits may not be used for several months after purchase.  Unfortunately, any claims of damage months after storage cannot be rectified. 

As with all glass products small air bubbles and minor imperfection may appear but will not distract from the bottles once filled. 

All measurements are approximates. 

Delivery -

I am UK based and I aim to ship non-personalised orders within 2 working days of receiving the order, and personalised orders within a week - depending on the time of year, demand, and how quickly you approve the mock-up stages.

It will be shipped with a tracking number, usually with Royal Mail 48hrs tracking. Please do reach out if needed urgently, and I will accommodate if able.

These are glass and are well packaged, but please check the bottle(s) for any issues as soon as you receive it, as claims to damage further down the line may not be able to be rectified.

Please note shipping costs also cover the packaging materials and not just the cost of postage. 

For international shipments, you may be charged additional fees, such as import fees, taxes, and duties.  This issue is fully regulated by the authorities of your country. All additional costs related to delivery are paid by the buyer.

If you have any questions, please contact me anytime and I will do my best to resolve any issues as quickly as possible.
