The Perfect Light of Romance

Candlelight, the perfect light of romance. As part of weddings since time immortal, candles are the simplest and most practical wedding accessories around. Their design and decorative uses, along with their low-cost (relative to flowers), makes them an accessory whose usage is only limited by the imagination of those who use them.

Starting with the wedding service itself, candles can play a part in a unity ceremony whereby the bride and groom, each holding taper candles to symbolize their individuality, light one larger unity candle together to symbolize the joining of their two lives as one in commitment.

As centrepieces, floating candles, or arrangements of different sized candles, with flowers or greenery interwoven between them, make a simple but elegant statement. A hall or church decorated by the soft light of candles, or an outdoor walkway lined with candles gives a wedding that soft fairytale feel to it.

At the end of the day as the final flickers signal the end to your special day, candles can be given to your guests as a welcome wedding favor. Whether encased in a candleholder personalized with your wedding details, or shaped and colored to fit your wedding theme, a candle is a wedding favor that guests will use with fond remembrance of the couple that gave it to them.

Simple, elegant and cost effective, candles are the wedding accessories that combine romance with practicality, something very few accessories can accomplish.
