Crystal Combination, Unity Ceremony

Under a luscious wedding arch topped with cascading greens and crimson hyacinths, Neda and Lucas combined different-colored crystals from Unity Crystals that represented each of their parents and themselves. These crystals were poured into a vase during the ceremony and would later be made into a sculpture for the couple to keep. "We loved the idea of doing something sentimental and something we could keep forever as a symbol of the ceremony," Neda says.
