Incorporate Wedding stuff?

[Lil Miss Witchy]

I recently got married and would love to include some of my wedding stuff on my permenant altar! I'm just not sure how to do this! The things I have that I'd like to display are


wedding cake looking candle
silver pin
white shoes
bride/groom beanie bears
champagne glasses
cake serving knife and spatula
bells
flowers (silk pink and orange roses)
jar of sand (from the sand ceremony)
photo album (this is a maybe)




I know there's a few other things that I can't think of right now! If you could give me any ideas how to incorporate these things I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Thank you bunches in advance!

It seems that all of the things you list are sacred to you and for good reason. You can offer something to your patron as a sacrifice. Offer up something that means something to you, something you're connected to, and leave it on the altar. Sharing this part of you that means so much to you with your patron would be very powerful and meaningful, I think.

champagne glasses - Use as your Chalice
cake serving knife and spatula - Use the knife as your athame. It probably possesses great power for you because of what it represents. Use it.
bells -if they ring, people use bells to summon their God/dess or guardians of the watchtowers, or even when closing their circle or signaling the end of a ritual.
flowers (silk pink and orange roses) - flowers on the altar are great always :)
jar of sand (from the sand ceremony) - can represent earth instead of using salt

First of all, let me congratulate you on your recent marriage! May you two look at each other fifty years from now and find you love each other all the more for your years together...:)
Secondly, I most definitely agree with Faewyn's suggestions...but I'd like to add a few of my own.
wedding cake looking candle. Use this as a symbol of the union between the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine. It's important to you; the wedding cake symbolizes the wedding itself, and you and your significant other are Divinity incarnate, no? :) Let the candle serve as that symbol.
white shoes. In a peculiar way, these could be used to symbolize Air, as Air symbolizes travel, presumably you had a honeymoon or you will, and at the very least, shoes symbolize travel. Shoes = travel = Air. At least, I can see the connection. Maybe use them as incense burners or something. :) Brightest blessings to you for your marriage, either way!

Congrats!!

I agree with what Faeawyn and Cielamara had to say. I would also like to add (cheesy as it may sound ;) )

As everything you would like to add has lots of value to you you could try incorperating it in many ways.

The teddy bears could be used as a god/dess idol (for lack of a better word)

Since I am not sure as to what kind of pin it is I can't say anything about that. I am assumeing that it isn't the kind you write with because of the way you spelt it. But you could use it as decoration.

I am at a loss for the shoes. :) Cielamara has got a good one for that.

As for the rest well I think the other ideas are very good. You could use the photo album as basicly an *offering* (not the best word but you get the idea) You and your husband are in love and to show your gratitude and thanks, it could be used as an offering to your god/dess for thanks in blessing your life. (sorry if it makes no sense, it does in my head I assure you) :lol:

Once again congradulations. May you be blessed with many happy and wonderful years.

The silver pin could represent fire. Silver is a metal, has to be heated in fire and then formed in a mold and whatnot. There you go.

The bears could be a symbol for the god and goddess, as previously said, instead of using a statue.

The glasses, as said, could be used as your chalice. :) You can also put pretty glass marbles in them to represent bubbles as one, and use it for water.

The knife could be your athame, as previously said, but I'm not sure about the cake server. It's wedge-shaped, right? That's how mine is. Hm..

Bells. The Faerie tradition uses bells, too, to announce the start and end of a ritual. Almost like calling attention.

Flowers on the altar can't go wrong.

Jar of sand for earth.

Photo album could be a symbol of thanks. :)
