Unity, Candle Wedding Favors Important On Big Day
So simple, yet so elegant, a wedding ceremony and reception illuminated by a sea of flickering light instills a feeling of warmth, love, romance and sexiness.
Candles play an important roll in many aspects of the wedding celebration, in-particular the unity candle. The unity candle started in the Protestant religion 30 to 40 years ago. The act of lighting the unity candle is packed with symbolism - a tradition that joins the families of both the bride and groom and represents the unspoken symbol of unity.
Traditionally the mother of the bride and groom, pre-ceremony, light the individual candles on the left and right of a large center candle. This represents each family in the couple’s life. During the ceremony the bride and groom will then, using the two individual candles, light the unity candle as a symbol of two becoming one.
The bride and groom may choose to blow out the flame of the two individual candles or, instead, let all three remain burning as a symbol of their coming together, while, at the same time, letting their uniqueness and personalities continue to shine through as they start on their journey together. This ceremony, lighting the unity candle, usually takes place after the vows have been read and rings have been exchanged.
To perform the unity candle ceremony is to show the couples family and friends their commitment and love for each other. The beauty of the candle acts as a symbol for this love.
Aside from the unity candle, candelabras and alter candles help to illuminate the church or service area. The reception is the location where that warmth and romance come into play with candle wedding favors, tea candles, pillar candles and additional candelabras.
