Unity Ceremony Ideas

In most modern weddings, you’ll witness a unity ceremony. This symbolizes the joining of “two becoming one” or “two families becoming one”. This started with the unity candle. One partner taking a candle and together, lighting a new one.

  1. Unity Candle

Here are some more fun ideas for your unity ceremony during your wedding!

2. Sand Ceremony

3. Plant a tree! Both these families used soil from both their families yards/farms + poured them together and planted it at their home.

4. Branding. Cally + Travis branded their own piece of wood to put in their home. I loved this unique idea!

5. CHEER with BEER. This couple + their bridal party cracked open some cold ones together to celebrate!

6. Wine + notes in a box for your first anniversary! This can be done a couple ways, you + your partner can write notes to each other for you both to read on your anniversary or your parents can write you notes to read!

There are 6 unity ceremony ideas for your wedding day!

Here are a few other ideas:

+ Time capsule: Ask guests or friends + family to write down something for an anniversary time capsule: Such as “Where do you see us in X years?” Then, during your ceremony nail it shut and wait!
+ Tie a knot or a braided cord.
+ Paint, dump paint on a canvas, either plain or with you new last initial on it.
+ No unity ceremony – maybe you wanna ditch tradition?

    Hello! I love the branding of the wood idea. What did they use to get the iron hot?

      They had them in the fire pit right next to it! That way they stayed hot and everyone enjoyed the fire!
