We both knew that these pieces were going to come out nice, but we were blown away by just how beautiful they are. We had our sand made into the stemless glasses, an ornament, and the twister heart. My husband once again had to concede that his original idea of wanting beach sand incorporated into the clear glass them wasn’t the great idea he thought it was.

work with you every step of the way. They give updates throughout the whole process and get your pieces back to you in a timely manner. We ordered the bud vase ceremony and then added on an ornament and ring dish with our extra glass. It was a perfect way to include our moms in their ceremony and a perfect way to remember the day.

re beautiful!
We chose 4 colors and purchased a bowl and pendant for ourselves, and gift ornaments for our parents. Since our families live out of town, we had a unique twist to our unity ceremony so we could give the gifts to our parents during our wedding. We actually combined the glass in advance and went to the wedding with gifts in hand so we could include our families. We had a reader show the glass bowl and explain that one color represented the bride, one the groom, one color for the bride's family, and one for the groom's family. Then together my husband and I gave our parents their boxed gifts that were created with the same glass. It was a special way to personalize our ceremony and honor our families. Our guests commented on how beautiful the glass was! Thank you, Fluid Philosophy!
