Your Unity Candle – To Buy or To Make?

Many custom unity candles include attaching your wedding program, invitation or announcement to the front of the candle and then adding such embellishments as pearls, ribbon, bows, foliage, fancy stands or other accessories.  Depending on your budget, patience and use for the candle after the big event, you could decorate a pillar candle and turn it into a lovely addition to your wedding ceremony.

One of the most important parts in decorating your own unity candle is how you attach the embellishments to the candle.  There are a few different ways based on what you are gluing onto the candle and how long you want it to last.  A hot glue gun will work best, especially for the short term event.  If you would like your candle decorations to hold up longer it’s best to wrap the candle the entire way around with paper, ribbon or another base.  Then glue all your embellishments to that wrapping.

Alternative to Floral Wedding Ceremony Decorations

As a wedding professional I’ve seen it all.  Decorators and consultants are always trying new methods of turning a possibly drab area into a romantic setting.  Quick and easy setup and even quicker clean up is a bonus!  If you are having your ceremony in a beautiful chapel, then atmosphere may not have to be created from scratch as much as say, an open field in the great outdoors.

Floral arrangements are a fairly simple way to create a romantic atmosphere quickly.  However, they’re not the only way!  Though wedding ceremony decorations do vary a little bit depending on your location, generally the ceremony will take place in a more confined area.  Concentrate on this area by having surrounding areas pull you in to it.  For instance, use tulle or organza draped around or through pews or awnings to draw attention to the ceremony area.  Your budget may determine the amount of extravagance.  That’s OK.  You don’t want the “alter” area buried.  After all, this is a popular setting for pictures.  You don’t want your wedding day photos to look cluttered.

The traditional coffee table book has become much more personal over the years. Now offering personalized, custom “story books” for any or all milestones in your life.  One of my favorite wedding guest book ideas are the well wisher/message books.  One idea better is a message book with pictures!

A wedding guest book that’s really a photo album or scrapbook is usually available through a photographer.  Or simply make one yourself and bring it on your big day. Be sure to leave space for guest comments!  “Our Story” or “Our Romance” are popular theme ideas for choosing and arranging photos that you will use in your ”wedding guest book”.
