Unity Vases

Personalize your wedding ceremony and enjoy a piece of art that will forever commemorate your day.  Each person chooses a palette of glass frit that represents themselves. During the ceremony the couple combines their individual colors into a common vessel. The blending of these individual grains of glass representing their separate and individual characteristics that will complement each other in the future. The combination of the glass is then used to create a one-of-a-kind piece by our glass artists and will be a remembrance of the day. We will work with you to choose the colors and design your blown glass art piece. If you wish, we can further personalize your day by creating ornaments, paperweights, or flowers that can be given to your wedding party, parents, or those that made your day special.
