In these cases, you can take the traditions from various customs that you like the best and leave the rest. For example, the lighting of the unity candle is a traditional part of a Christian wedding that you may want to use even if you are not having a Christian ceremony. One alternative to the unity candle that many couples are using is called the sand ceremony. Rather than lighting a candle, the bride and groom pour sand from two individual containers into one container. The sand mixes together and represents the joining of husband and wife, much in the way that two flames join together on the unity candle to make one. Tags: Wedding Ceremony Traditions

After the bridesmaids have taken their walk down the aisle the flower girl will walk down the aisle and scatter flower petals behind her.
