Custom unity ceremony sculpture as seen on @offbeatbride #unityceremony

This couple created some epic art with their unity ceremony

Selena and Stephen had the most super duper adorable Disney/Pixar’s Up-themed wedding featuring hot air balloon glowing centerpieces, rainbow balloon cake, grape soda boutonnieres, Carl and Ellie-style mailbox card box, balloon thumbprint guest book print, and balloon shots galore. It made our LIFE. But what really got us in the feels was when they showed us the spoils of their unique and creative unity ceremony: a custom-made unity ceremony sculpture by one of our favorite vendors, Unity in Glass. Let’s talk about what they created with their unity ceremony and how you can snag a stunning custom unity ceremony sculpture of your own.

Plan a mid-ceremony toast to get your guests in the cheering mood

Darcy and Jasper’s queer bourbon and beer bacchanal had tons of awesome pour-it-yourself bar moments with delicious selections of bourbon and pre-mixed Old Fashioneds. My favorite part of their booze-y moments was the mid-ceremony toast featuring hot apple cider with optional bourbon.
