This unique sand ceremony set uses a handblown hourglass that is filled during the ceremony then sealed up to be used as an actual time piece (time measured depends on the amount of sand added). What better way to celebrate the beginning of time as husband and wife?

The wood base has that rustic, shabby chic look and holds a 4"x6" photo. The back and base easily come apart so it takes up minimal space if being used at a destination wedding.

PLEASE NOTE: Since these bases are made from wood, no two will look the same and there will be variations in color, grain, holes, gouges, etc than what is shown in the picture.

SAND IS NOT INCLUDED, YOU WILL NEED 4 OUNCES TOTAL. YOU CAN USE FINE BEACH SAND (SIFT SAND AND MAKE SURE IT IS DRY FIRST), VERY FINE COLORED SAND OR ORDINARY TABLE SALT. IF YOU TRY USING COARSE SALT OR COARSE SAND, OR SAND THAT HAS MOISTURE IN IT, YOU MAY ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS WITH THE SAND MOVING FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER.


…………………………………………………………………………………………..

NOTE: The center section is larger than normal to help the material flow from one end to the other without getting stuck (you’re going to be using off the shelf materials like fine sand or table salt, while true hourglasses are filled in clean environments with marble dust or iron oxide). If filled with 4-5 ounces (110-130 grams) you can expect it to run around 3-4 minutes.
