Why Unity in Glass is the Perfect Fit for Destination Weddings

Planning a destination wedding is all about creating unforgettable memories in a breathtaking setting — and finding ways to capture those fleeting moments in a lasting, meaningful way. At Unity in Glass, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with saying “I do” away from home. That’s why our process is designed to blend seamlessly with the magic (and logistics) of a destination wedding.

Here’s what makes Unity in Glass the ideal unity ceremony for your destination celebration:

1. Lightweight & Travel-Friendly

Unlike traditional unity ceremonies that involve sand or candles, our process uses brilliantly colored glass crystals, vibrant, mess-free, and easy to pack. Whether you're getting married on a beach in Tulum, a vineyard in Tuscany, or at the most magical place on earth, your Unity wedding materials are lightweight and ready to go. They fit neatly in a carry-on, keeping your ceremony stress-free and elegant from takeoff to vows.

2. No Fragile Artwork to Transport Home

You won’t need to worry about flying home with a fragile sculpture in your luggage. Instead, you combine your colors during the ceremony, then send the crystals back to our studio using the included prepaid mailer. From there, we transform them into a custom glass sculpture — a timeless piece of art — and ship it safely to your doorstep once you’re settled back home.

3. A Personal Touch that Travels Well

Destination weddings are intimate and intentional. Your unity ceremony should be just as thoughtful. Each couple selects their own color palette, adding personal significance to the artwork. The result is a piece that doesn’t just commemorate the location, but tells the story of your day through color, texture, and lasting artistry.

4. A Meaningful Keepsake (Not a Souvenir)

Many destination weddings offer keepsakes, but few offer heirlooms. Unity in Glass creations are crafted by hand in our studio by skilled glass artists. These are not mass-produced mementos. They are enduring, museum-quality works of art that capture the spirit of your vows and the beauty of your day.

5. Ideal for Group Travel & Gifting

Planning to celebrate with family and friends abroad? Many couples choose to add matching smaller items, like hand-blown ornaments or ring bowls as gifts for parents, children, or guests who played a special role in the wedding. It’s a deeply personal gesture that turns your destination ceremony into a shared legacy.
