Unity Sand Ceremony Shadow Box Set Comparison



Having trouble trying to decide on which Unity Sand Ceremony Set is right for you?  Below is our side by side comparison listing the features of the Forever Frame, Cathy’s Concepts Unity Sand Ceremony Shadow Box Set, and Weddingstar’s Clearly Love Sand Ceremony Shadow Box, and Clearly Love Sand Ceremony Shadow Box with Photo Frame.


As a bride shopping online it hard to tell which Sand Ceremony Unity Set will work during your type of ceremony and as a decorative keepsake in your home.

The Forever Frame is the Sand Ceremony Shadow Box Sets that’s adaptable if you want a change in how you display it, years after your wedding day.  Slide in an engagement photo for the ceremony and change it with a wedding photo.  Then change the photo for the holiday season or replace it with an anniversary picture.  This is the only shadow box frame that has a special plate that keeps your sand design from shifting. 

The lid for the top of the frame can be placed behind the frame for the ceremony.  Personalizing the Forever Frame has many options of where to place your engraved message unlike many other sand ceremony shadow box sets.  Whether you place your names and wedding date on the top, or bottom you can engrave on the wood, glass or engraved plate where many of the other popular shadow box frames limit you to just one option. This Sand Ceremony Unity Set known as The Forever Frame is much larger in size.  Its measures 11.25" x 9" x 3".   Let’s not forget that there are several frame color choices each made of solid wood.   The Forever Frame is strong due to its solid wood construction.  With the solid wood construction comes sturdiness, additional weight by it being made from real wood and being larger in size makes this shadow box frame more pricy than its competitors frames or unity sand ceremony sets which are some of the cons of this shadow box set.  With this frame being quite larger it takes more sand to fill leading to a longer ceremony and even more additional cost in the purchase of sand. 



The Cathy’s Concepts Unity Sand Ceremony Shadow Box Set has some great features that brides like.  The price point is just one reason why this is such a hot item.  The Forever Frame is a bit pricy for some bride’s pocket books.  If you were thanking of adding a photo to this particular shadow box frame there is no separation between photo and sand like The Forever Frame or Weddingstar Clearly Love Shadow Box.  The photo would not be seen clearly if engraved. The lid of the shadow box is attached making it unable to get lost during the wedding festivities.  But some brides see this inability to detach the lid as a reason not to purchase as it is seen in wedding photos.  Personalization on the frame features a trendy design that’s classic yet modern.  The Unity Sand Ceremony Shadow Box Set by Cathy’s Concepts does includes two pouring vases with the purchase of the frame saving on additional cost but some brides have expressed while they are stylish vases they don’t hold a-lot of sand to use during the ceremony to fill the frame to each brides desired amount of sand they want inside the box.  Additional matching pouring vases are available to purchase if so desired.  The Unity Sand Ceremony Shadow Box by Cathy’s Concepts is a smaller more compact frame size unlike its competitors making it easy to display in one’s home as any space will do.  While this frame is not solid wood many brides like the light weight feel.  When sand is added it does provide additional weight.   The Unity Sand Ceremony Shadow Box comes in two colors black or white and measures 8 inches high by 6 inches wide by 3 inches deep. Overall this a fantastic little shadow box frames for the price.  It can sit stylishly on display in your home for many years to come.





The Weddingstar Clearly Love Sand Ceremony Shadow Box and Clearly Love Sand Ceremony Shadow Box with Photo Frame are made of acrylic.  Providing a stylish and classic piece that easily shows off your sand ceremony design.  The difference between these two Weddingstar shadow box frames is the Photo Frame Shadow Box lets you display a single 4”x6” photo of each of you and lets you personalize it with a single initial on the center of the sand compartment.   The Clearly Love SandCeremony Shadow Box lets you place a narrowed photo and invitation into separate compartments and personalize the center of the sand compartment with a monogram or initial and message.   
 


Both the Weddingstar Clearly Love Shadow Box pieces measure 13 3/4" x 2" x 10" H. The sand compartment is separate from the other compartments and has a lid to secure the sand inside and holds two bags of sand.  Depending on the design and personalization desired either the Clearly Love Sand Ceremony Shadow Box or Clearly Love Sand Ceremony Shadow Box with Photo Frame make a lovely keepsake.
