Getting Married Barefoot in the Sands of Anna Maria Island...
So Your Getting Married on one of the Sugar White Sand Beaches of Anna Maria Island.... So Why Not Enjoy an Authentic Wedding Sand Ceremony!
There is no better way to celebrate love than a Gulf Coast Beach Wedding on Anna Maria Island.
However, we all know that Candles and wind don’t mix. So why not substitute a sand ceremony for the more popular tradition of the Unity candle ceremony.
No one knows for sure where the first sand ceremony was performed, but it is no secret that the wedding sand ceremony has been increasing in popularity, especially on Anna Maria Island, Florida.
After all, the island does have white sand beaches stretching for 7 miles along the Gulf coastline!
The wedding sand ceremony is very popular in places such as California and Florida where there is such an abundance of beautiful beach settings and of course lots of sand.
There are a number of different ways to perform the sand unity ceremony. Traditionally, two vessels of sand are poured together either into a third keepsake vessel, or into the wind to represent the coming together of your lives.
Over the next few posts we will outline and describe in more detail a few of the more popular Wedding Sand Ceremonies commonly performed on Anna Maria Island.
