Choosing Your Unity Candle
Are you having a unity candle lighting as part of your ceremony? This is a unique and momentous way of symbolizing your love for each other.
Choosing your unity candle will reflect your tastes. A hand carved candle shows that your love is unique and special. A solid pillar decorated with specialty ribbon decoration may be just the ticket for you. Unity candles that have a verse inscribed in them do not usually show up as well for the guests as a decorated unity candle or hand carved candle. Your unity candle holder can be a 3 in 1 holder or 3 separate pieces that you will be able to use after the ceremony in your new home.
Lighting the Candles
Recently I attended a wedding with a different twist on the unity candle lighting. When the mothers of the bride and groom walked in they went to the alter and lighted the two tapers at the beginning of the entire ceremony. It was a special moment to include both of the mothers in the ceremony.
Unity candles usually come in a set of the tall pillar and two tapers that the bride and groom will light the pillar with to show the joining of two lives. Unity candles can be hand carved extravaganzas to the simple candles that are decorated with ribbon bows. Unity candles are a wonderful way of showing that you are becoming a team.
United With A Flame
Unity candle sets are used to light a large candle from two smaller candles by the bride and groom. This lighting ceremony shows the joining of two separate lives.
Unity candle sets can be simple and elegant with satin bow details on them or they can be more elaborate hand carved candle sets. The hand carved unity candle sets show the importance that a couple attaches to this part of their ceremony. Many of the hand carved unity candle sets have added embellishments of pearls, rhinestones and or satin bows.
The Flame of Love
In planning your wedding ceremony you will want to decide whether you want traditional vows or write your own. Incorporating a unity candle into your ceremony will further state the commitment that you and your bridegroom are making to each other.
A unity candle set will fill the bill nicely with the central pillar candle and the two tapers to match it. Hand carved unity candle sets add a flair and uniqueness to your big day.
Unity Candles Add to Ceremony
Lighting a unity candle during your wedding ceremony is a meaningful symbol of two lives joining. Unity candle sets have a large central pillar candle and two tapers for the bride and groom to use to light the central pillar candle.
Unity candle sets usually come in either white or ivory and have some sort of decoration on them. Whether you choose an elaborate hand carved unity candle set or a simpler unity candle set, this part of your ceremony will live on in your memory long after the day.
