The Sand Ceremony
On this occasion, we celebrated a beautifully relaxed name-giving ceremony for a young child, surrounded by family in this serene setting. The parents chose to include a sand ceremony, adding a powerful layer of symbolism to the celebration. Coloured sand was gently poured into a single vessel, with each colour representing a loved one’s role in the child’s life—one for the parents, one for the child, another for the godparents, and one honouring the grandparents. As the sands blended together, it created a lasting keepsake and a heartfelt reminder that this child is supported, cherished, and connected to their family in a truly meaningful way.
