So you're getting married! Congratulations. You are likely full of excitement as well as a little stress! Hopefully this blog will help a little.
Choosing the right candles for your wedding can add a beautiful and romantic touch to your special day. Candles can change the whole ambience of your venue as well as using scent to create a relaxing environment.
However, with so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide on the perfect candles for your wedding. Here are some tips to help you choose the right candles for your perfect day.
-
One popular way to use candles at a wedding ceremony is to line the aisle with them. This creates a warm and inviting path for the bride and groom to walk down and sets the tone for the rest of the event. You can also use candles to decorate the altar or other focal point in the ceremony space.
-
Consider the theme and color scheme: The candles you choose should complement your wedding's theme and color scheme. You want to chose colours which will compliment your table decor. Furthermore, style is important; If you're going for a rustic or bohemian theme, consider using natural beeswax or soy candles. If you're going for a more traditional look, classic white or ivory pillar candles or tea lights can be the perfect choice.
-
Think about the size and shape of the candles: The size and shape of the candles will depend on the area where you plan to use them. Tall taper candles are perfect for candle-lit ceremonies and long tables. While pillar candles, tea lights and votive candles are great for decorating tables and making stunning centerpieces.
-
Scented or unscented: Scented candles can add a lovely fragrance to your wedding, but make sure the scent complements your flowers and other decor. For example, If you have Roses in your arrangements then a rose scented candle will add depth and atmosphere. Unscented candles are a good option if you prefer not to have any fragrance at your event and just want candles for thier physical beauty.
-
Consider the season: if your wedding is in summer, you may want to opt for unscented or lightly scented candles to avoid overwhelming guests with strong fragrances. Subtle citrus or floral scents are perfect for warmer weddings. In the autumn and winter, you can choose warmer, more comforting scents, such as warm berries or vanilla. But remember to ensure that whatever you chose compliments your theme or colour scheme.

For a more unique and personal touch, consider using personalised candles as wedding favors. These can be made with the couple's names and wedding date or with a special message or quote. They can be a lovely keepsake for guests to take home and remember the special day.
Overall, candles are a versatile and beautiful addition to any wedding. They can add warmth, romance, and elegance to the atmosphere, and can be used in a variety of ways to make the day even more special.
