I received an email from a gentleman (Jeff, the owner of heirloom hourglass) who commented on my site a while back about this post about a sand ceremony that I had found online that I wanted to recreate and our thoughts on what we were going to do (and did) at our wedding.
Jeff emailed me a couple days ago to ask that I remove his comment as after his comment was made another company commented very rudely with their info making not so nice comments about Jeff and his company. This is not the place for that nonsense. I thought it was very above board that Jeff, instead of getting in contact with me and asking me to remove the other comments, asked for his to be removed just to make the whole thing go away. NOT ON MY WATCH. So here's what we're going to do...
If you know of anyone getting married, having a big anniversary or you know how hard it is to buy for your parents?? And all you softballers, wouldn't this be cool for a tournament or something? Here's the best idea I've seen in a while and truthfully what I probably would have done had we not been cutting budget corners. Take a moment and check out Heirloom Hourglass.
You can order different colors of sand, similar to how we did our blending ceremony or as they suggest for beach weddings or honeymoons in beach locations or something such as that, take sand from a significant spot and use it! Really really pretty!
Our sand ceremony was beautiful, same general idea but we used walmart glass (oh yeah that says classy), for us it signified our family, all three of us, coming together to be a family.
Here's some ideas from Heirloom Hourglass!
(1) Heirloom Hourglass is perfect for those “Once In A Lifetime” trips to the Beach. We’ve all been to a place on vacation that we may never return to…..what better way to capture and preserve those moments in the sun and sand than by bringing home an hourglass filled with that very sand from your journey?
(2) Cruises, Hotels, and Resorts……we all wish we could relive the moments we spent at these special places over and over – Heirloom Hourglass takes you back to that special experience every time you look at it. Knowing the contents of your hourglass is a symbol of those moments spent relaxing with family and friends preserves the story of those memories for all time. Filling your Heirloom Hourglass with sand from a beach near that Cruise Ship Port of Call or Resort Beach means you’re creating an heirloom that will last for generations.
(3) Heirloom Hourglass makes a great gift! Imagine giving your Mom, Dad, Grandparents, and other relatives the gift of a beautiful hourglass containing sand from the first beach you ever went to with them. Capture the moments of that first vacation as Husband Wife, or mark your Anniversary with an Heirloom Hourglass filled with sand from the first time you went to the ocean or lake together. Giving the gift of an unfilled Heirloom Hourglass will be cherished by traveling friends and family as well.
(4) Heirloom Hourglass is a very meaningful, deeply symbolic Wedding gift, and we provide the exclusive “Heirloom Hourglass Unity Ceremony” on our website, www.heirloomhourglass.com. During the Wedding, Husband and Wife can fill the hourglass with sand from places that are special to them – each time the Heirloom Hourglass is turned over, the sand blends more and more over time. This is a perfect symbol of two people coming together in Marriage. Match your Wedding colors with colored sand, stones, and other materials which can also be found on our website. Heirloom Hourglass also makes the perfect gift for Bridesmaids and Groomsmen as well.
(5) Heirloom Hourglass is great for any home – whether you have lived in your home for years or are just buying or building a new home, preserve your memories forever by filling an Heirloom Hourglass with some soil from your property.
(6) Heirloom Hourglass is the perfect way to remember that Once In A Lifetime sporting event. If you’ve ever been to a golf course you may never return to, or played the best game of football or baseball in your life – commemorate the occasion with some sand or soil from that location and preserve it forever in an Heirloom Hourglass.
(7) Heirloom Hourglass helps you remember that hike to the top of a mountain or lake trail. Be sure to take only small amounts of soil without disturbing fragile vegetation so these natural locations can be enjoyed by all.
(8) Corporate gifts – Heirloom Hourglass is a truly meaningful way to acknowledge or thank colleagues and employees.
(9) Fill your Heirloom Hourglass with the sand, stones, shells, and more that we offer in a wide range of colors – use your school colors, Wedding colors, or change the colors often to match any décor or occasion. Our website is loaded with many different materials to fill your hourglass with, and the unique Heirloom Hourglass design allows you to change the contents of your hourglass anytime you want.
(10) Inspirational – give Heirloom Hourglass unfilled with engraved tags affixed that say the name of a beach the recipient has always wanted to go to…..or give it filled with sand from that beach, and let them be inspired and strive to one day visit that place!
