Even if you plan on buying your Unity Candle already decorated, it doesn't hurt to add a handmade bow for a unique and beautiful touch. While the bow is a shape that is usually pretty standard, there are so many different things you can do with bows. Read on for examples.
Ribbon Bows
Make a ribbon bow for your Unity Candle. It's the best bow because it's so versatile. You can have so many different kinds of ribbon bows. For example, you can have a satin ribbon bow, a velvet bow, or a cloth bow. All three of these kinds of ribbons come in different colors and prints, so you'll have tons and tons to choose from. Choose a brightly colored ribbon for a summer or spring wedding or deep, dark-colored ribbon for a winter or autumn wedding. Whatever your wedding colors are, you'll find just the ribbon to match. You can even find ribbons with cute prints that will really add a great touch to your Unity Candle. To make your own ribbon bow, all you have to do is buy a spool of any kind of ribbon and make a small or big bow to put on or around your Unity Candle.
Lace Bows
Besides standard satin ribbon, bows also come in lace ribbon. If your wedding leans more toward the elegant and traditional side, you can put adorable little lace ribbons all over your Unity Candle. As far as lace ribbon colors go, you can get the traditional white or off-white lace or different colors of lace like brown or purple or blue or red. Whatever color you'd like, you'll find a lace ribbon color. Lace ribbons add an exquisite touch to a Unity Candle that is perfect for ultra elegant weddings. Just by getting the lace ribbon you'll find in craft stores everywhere, you can easily and inexpensively make your own lace bows.
Bows with Flowers
When you make your bows, don't forget to add some little silk flowers to make your candle extra special. If you'd like your Unity Candle to have more decorations than just bows, you can add a flower right to the center of your bow to make it look like a miniature bouquet. You can go as simple as a small sprig of Baby's Breath or as elaborate as a rosebud. To make your own bow with a flower, all you have to do is take a hot glue gun and pin it right in the center of the bow, making it easier than ever to add a special touch to your Unity Candle.
Other Kinds of Bows
Try something really unique with an unconventional bow. You can make bows out of different materials, like tiny strings of pearls, trim, wire, tulle, and many other things. Because they're so versatile, you can be as creative as you want. Also, don't forget that there are many different kinds of bows:
- Florist bow
- Pompom bow
- Starburst bow
- Pinwheel bow
- Dior bow
- Package bow
