Unity Sand Ceremony Picture Frame is a HOT new item
This beautiful frame from Daisy Days is a unique twist on the Unity Sand Ceremony that will provide a cherished keepsake for years to come. The frame is available with your choice of three colors to fit any taste and decor: white, black or cherry wood. You simply pour the sand into the bottom of the frame. Then, with a special Keeper Plate, you seal the sand in place. This prevents the sand from mixing or leaking. You can add other items to the frame as well to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake... flowers from your bridal bouquet, decorations, or even shells from a destination wedding. You can change the picture anytime without disturbing the sand.
