SMUDGING CEREMONY:
Burning sage is a powerful ritual that Indigenous communities have been using to clear negative energy for thousands of years. Today, people burn sage and other holy herbs to cleanse a space or environment, to generate wisdom and clarity, and to promote healing. The sage smudging ceremony can take place at any point in your wedding. Your officiant will let your guests know what's happening, then begin burning the sage. They will typically wave the smoke created from the sage bundle around the couple from their heads to their feet. You may also want to choose an intention, affirmation or prayer to guide the cleanse to make it even more meaningful.
