You could probably decorate the battery operated candles to look like a unity candle. I have these battery operated candles and they do look like real candles.

Really random, but I'm really tired and stressed. What about something like your families combining river rocks in a container as a foundation and then you and your FI planting something (or sticking in bamboo) as a symbol of your love growing in the foundation your families formed. ??? No idea. Sorry if it's dumb! :)
What about pouring two liquids of different colours together to create a different colour? (ie. mix blue and yellow water to make green - you can't separate them! If one of your wedding colours is a secondary colour, I'd say give it a shot!)

Great ideas so far! @Queen, don't you have to pick up the candle and flip it over to turn it on? I've only seen battery-operated tealights, not pillar candles, so I'm not sure how the larger ones work. @MissBean, really great idea, but I'm worried about spilling colored water on my dress (that why we're drinking white wine for the kiddush). @JMA, even if you're tired and stressed, that's a great idea too, and pretty easy to implement. I think I just like the idea of combining small things into 1 bigger thing.
Anyone else?
I once heard of a bride doing a soil ceremony, where they took soild from each of their homes,combined them, and then planted a bulb or other plant - I thought that was super cute!
I have heard of using wax beads instead of sand . . . it would be less messy and less beachy, but a similar process. Just a thought . . .

As an interfaith couple, we like the symbolism of a unity candle (2 people/families coming together as 1), but:
--We're not allowed to use candles in our venue.
--We don't want to use sand (it's messy and it seems very beach wedding to me) or wine (FI doesn't like it).
--As I understand them, a rose ceremony, knot ceremony, or handfasting ceremony don't really have the same symbolism that a unity candle does.
Any other ideas?
