One popular trend in contemporary weddings is the unity candle, which symbolizes the union of two hearts as one love. The unity candle consists of two taper candles on either side of a larger pillar candle. Often, the candles reflect some element of the theme or colors of the wedding, although basic white or taupe candles are also possible.
Most wedding suppliers carry both the candles and holders, and many wedding supply retailers offer special orders and honor requests to customize the unity candles. While some candles may be personalized with specific themes or flowers, others can include monogrammed initials or wedding verses directly on the center pillar candle.
Supplies needed for a unity candle ceremony include two taper candles, one pillar candle, and a unity candle holder set. While most holders consist of one piece with holders for all three candles, some are available with individual holders for each candle.
Regardless of what wedding supplies and unity candles are selected for the ceremony, the most important factor is to design a wedding ceremony that showcases and reflects the love shared between the bride and groom and by the friends and family who join in the celebration of that love.
