The Beauty Of Personalizing Your Wedding Candles
31 Aug 2009
If you are artistic by profession and fairly skilled at wielding decorative utensils of any sort, you can bypass the purchase of wedding unity candles and be kinder on your budget. Going a step further, you could even get to design your own wedding unity candles with your personal stamp on them.
Doing this yourself means you could be more adventurous with your selection of decorative tools. You may want to dye your own candles yourself to achieve that unique blend of five colors or you may even add on colors to colored wedding unity candles.
The most popular way of personalizing personalized wedding candles is by engraving your names on them. As mundane and common as this may sound, the final product may be totally unique as it is up to your creative imagination (and your designer’s, as that may be the case) as to how your names will appear on the candle surfaces.
They may be engraved in simple, elegant cursive font or boldly printed in silver and may or may not be set against a backdrop of designs. They may even be in boldly colored print for dramatic effect.
Personalized unity candles can be glamored up even more by a sprinkle of silver glitter where they can “shine” when the light falls upon them.
Here is yet another way to make your unity candles different through personalization. You can tie colored ribbons around the base, neck or trunk and have the ribbon personalized.
Using personalized wedding ribbons for these are even better print significant phrases like “Our Special Day, James and Joan”, for example. Even other less straightforward messages can be printed on the ribbons, which will be tied and left on the wedding unity candles for a long time as a constant reminder of the commitment.
You can also try personalizing your unity candles by adding on unconventional decor tools, like embroidery of rhinestones, semi precious stones, crystals or pearls. You should, however, get a professional to do this for you as it is a meticulous task than can go drastically wrong with inexperience.
Aside from pearls, hand crafted embroidery is another beautiful way of personalizing unity candles. These fragile patterns can come in any color but gold, silver and white are the favorites. Accented with little shiny ornaments, these are perfect if you want elegant and classy-looking candles.
One of the most uncommon wedding unity candles are the carved ones. As their name suggests, these candles are carved into specific shapes and designs by sheer exquisite craftsmanship. Designs range from entwined rings, vines and flowers to actual miniature carvings of bride and groom. They may or may not be further adorned by sequins, pearls and crystals.
Designs for candle holders have also evolved through the years. From straightforward designs of practicality, they have now become symbols of beauty on their own with motifs of hearts, flowers (particularly lilies) and even very specific themed designs of seashells, bluebird, snowflakes, horse and carriage, and more recently, abstract figures of bride and groom.
These holders are also made of different materials - some of resin, sterling silver, porcelain, wood, bamboo and glass. Whichever you choose, your candle holders should always complement your wedding unity candles.
