We all know candles are a great way to add ambiance to your space, but did you know you could also incorporate them into your wedding day? Whether you're looking to make a statement or to make memories, there are many ways you can use candles to add an extra special touch. Here are our top three ways to incorporate candles into your big day in a way that's sure to impress!
Opt for a candle centerpiece!
Decorative candles are becoming a contemporary decor staple, and the possibilities are endless. Use them as centerpieces on each table: These can be simple or elaborate - it's up to you! Keep in mind that your centerpiece should be a focal point of the table. It's the first thing your guests see when they sit down, so it needs to be memorable.
Our Serene 3-Wick Candle is the perfect eye-catcher with its chic low profile and gorgeous texture. A bonus: it'll look stunning in photos too! Have them customized with a signature scent, or light them during a special moment for an extra touch.
For larger tablescapes, you could do one long table runner down the middle with groups of sculptural candles along its length. Our Bloom series is a trio of floral sculptural candles inspired by peony blossoms (pictured above). Allowing guests' eyes to wander along this path will help create a flow between each table area without having too much visual clutter on top of everything else happening here!
As gifts for your guests!
If you have a theme or color scheme for your wedding day, incorporate a candle that fits in. Candles are thoughtful, practical, and easy to customize. Candles can be more than a centerpiece; try mixing them into place settings or gifting a candle to your guests and loved ones as wedding favors.
Our gift shop features curated sets perfect for any occasion. Go for a smaller-sized scented or decorative candle and set it with place cards for guests to take home to say "thank you" and show how much you appreciate them. (This is another fantastic opportunity to include that signature scent.)
The versatility of candles alone makes them a lovely way to commemorate milestones in life, especially at weddings. You can pick a candle whose scent, vessel, and even wick fit your theme and stand out.
Gift your wedding party!
You've got a lot of wedding party gifts over the years. But are they the kind of gifts that you'll remember? You can have thoughtful gifts for your wedding party that are also personal and practical. Give candles! Personalization means each candle will surely be loved long after the big day! It's an easy gift that allows you to tailor it entirely to each of your favorite people - and your budget.
A wickless candle with embeds is lovely to look at, can be scented for olfactory appeal, and is long-lasting since it's not intended to be lit. Opt for dried botanicals as embeds that mirror bouquets or boutonnieres or match elements of the candle's scent profile. You can give them something unique.
Have each candle labeled with the nicknames of each member or dedicated to your favorite memory with them. Limit gifting candles to your bridal party exclusively and include a hand-written note for extra sentimental value. After all, your bridal party has been through all the ups and downs with you. It's only fitting to put some thought into their gifts to show your appreciation and give them something they can cherish for years.
So there you have it! These are three of our favorites if you're looking for an excellent way to incorporate candles into your wedding. You can use as many of these ideas as you like - go with one or two, or all three! Make sure to have fun with it and make it your own!
