This Southwestern Gift Is a Meaningful Symbol of Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shumakolowa Gifts, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center<\/a><\/p>\n

File this under wedding gifts<\/a> you haven\u2019t thought of! Here in the Southwest we\u2019re surrounded by nature\u2019s gifts and get to experience the art of many cultures every day. The Pueblo Indian people have been making pottery by hand for hundreds of years, and one of their most meaningful and popular forms is the wedding vase. The vases were traditionally used in Pueblo wedding ceremonies, but today they\u2019ve become a moving symbol of love and celebration of marriage. They are also a wedding gift favorite in New Mexico!<\/p>\n

In Pueblo wedding ceremonies<\/a>, the groom\u2019s parents provide the wedding vase, and on the day of the wedding, the vase is filled with holy water and given to the bride. She drinks from one side and the groom drinks from the other. It\u2019s not so different from the exchanging of rings ceremony.<\/p>\n

The two spouts represent the separate spirits of the bride and groom and the handle represents their union. We love the symbolism!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve learned there\u2019s a wedding vase for every style. For the traditionalist, choose a vase in the traditional style of Santa Clara Pueblo, like this one handmade by legendary artist Mida Tafoya.<\/p>\n
