For many people, the cherry blossom is a symbol of spring, new life, celebration, femininity, and love. Small and delicate pink petals adorn the intricate dark braches of cherry trees when they blossom in springtime in dense masses, breathing a spirit of new life into their surroundings. Many festivals are held around the world to celebrate the beauty of the cherry blossoms, and Vancouver, Washington DC, Kyoto, Macon, Van Nuys, Philadelphia, and Bloomfield are just a few of the cities that are home to many Sakura trees that give us these famous blossoms. The Cherry Blossom from Heirloom Hourglass is inspired by the pink petals blooming from the dark branches, and is designed using our elegant pink hued Blush Rose Oceanstone bases and solid oak rope pillars finished with a premium dark stain. Like all Heirloom Hourglasses in this collection, The Cherry Blossom can be filled from either side with your own sands you collect from your travels. Solid pewter ship wheels come standard with this model, and a collection kit is also included. This unique sand ceremony hourglass is the perfect addition to a wedding unity sand ceremony, family unity ceremony, or vow renewal ceremony. It is the perfect alternative to the unity candle for an outdoor wedding sand ceremony, destination beach wedding sand ceremony, or an inside wedding where a candle cannot be lit.  It also makes the perfect heartfelt gift for any occasion.
