Executive Summary about Wedding Votive Candles by Lisa Frogge
Personalized wedding votive candles
It’s hard to imagine a wedding without candles! Unity Candles are often used to symbolically “join” the couple or families during the ceremony. Two tapered candles, each representing the bride and groom, are placed on either side of a larger pillar candle. These candles are placed on a small table on the altar area. The side taper candles may either be left burning or extinguished. If the lit candles have burned down too much to safely handle, simply pick up the unlit tapers, ignite and proceed with lighting the center Unity Candle. Memorial candles are often used alongside the Unity Candle. Often, the ceremony program will note who each candle signifies and their relationship to the bride and/or groom.
White candles are popular choices, yet colored candles also may complement your chosen color scheme.
While candles are undeniably a beautiful tradition, do not overlook safety when deciding where to place lit candles.
