Nearly everyone feels the romance of a wedding ceremony that contains lots of lit candles. Various members of the wedding party can be tasked to light the various candles needed at different stages of the wedding ceremony. While ambiance is the reason for the candles throughout the chapel, the unity candle is the one with the most meaning.
A unity candle is a new favorite tradition for the bride and groom to light together, then relight every anniversary (though most choose to display it proudly in their china cabinet on the mantle, or in a bookcase never to be lit again). This unity candle lighting ceremony can be accompanied by music from CD or a live entertainer, have an additional vow, or be done in complete silence.
Having enough candles for the entire ceremony as well as the reception can be expensive. A Unity Candle is often priced from $50 to $100 or more yet can still be an ugly generic simple white base displaying a generic oval or rounded edge wedding invitation glued with cheap beads to the candle.
Making the candles yourself in the months prior will allow you to really personalize your wedding. And, at the same time, create more social gatherings with your friends and key members of the wedding party through candle-making parties.
Imagine the power to have the perfect "made with love" unity candle comprised of your own beads, wax accents and actual wedding announcement, and also the ability to have candles everywhere for the ceremony from the chapel to the reception hall (inside and out) for less than wholesale. Creative friends typically want to help with everything concerning your wedding. Learning a new craft and possibly a new hobby is a task they could get excited about.
If you decide to do your own, once you’re done with your candle making sessions for the wedding ceremony, if you have the extra time and some extra wax, you could create a tasteful smaller set to take with you on your honeymoon to continue the romance.
