Wedding Candles in wedding décor

Now imagine setting a romantic atmosphere at the wedding ceremony! It's no secret that candles exude romance, tranquility, and comfort wherever they're used. So, why wouldn't you want to use them to decorate one of the happiest days of your life? From the tiniest tea lights to oversized options, candles bring elegance and beauty to any ceremony and reception. Candles are the go-to décor for many couples. Using a little imagination and creating a unique design for your wedding will make that day even more memorable. Candles are mainly used for decorating wedding tables, however, imagination and creativity can take us anywhere…

Wedding candles for table decoration

If the wedding is held in a semi-dark room, candles on wedding tables will be an excellent décor option, beautiful, and useful. Wedding candles will give the celebration a touch of mystery and, of course, romance. But you need to take it seriously because the fire is still quite dangerous. Therefore, it is better to do something safe and original. For example, place transparent water tanks on the tables, in which rose petals and burning floating candles will float. It will be even more beautiful if you color the liquid to match the wedding flowers. This can be done using food coloring.

Wedding candles for the first and final dance of the newlyweds

A candlelight First Dance will be stunning and truly unforgettable. The scenario is as follows: the guests can be given candles to light from the unity candle and then stand in a large circle on the dance floor with lit small candles in their hands. And the newlyweds are, of course, in the center of it. They whirl in their first dance, and the guests, raising the candles up, sway to the beat of the music. It looks incredibly beautiful, touches the very soul, and, importantly, looks great on video.

During the final dance, you can do the following: shortly before it, make a big heart out of floating candles on the platform. For such a décor, you will need about a hundred candles. Let friends of the newlyweds light them, skipping a few so that the newlyweds go inside. There is no need to light all the candles as the flame may touch the bride’s dress. Also, leave a room for the groom so that he carries the bride in his arms. And the passage will look beautiful and symbolic.

As soon as the newlyweds are in this fiery heart, the host of the wedding and the witnesses light the rest of the candles. The bride and groom dance in the middle of the “flickering heart”. At the end of the dance, the guests can simply put out the fire, or they can stand with burning candles in two lines as if building a fiery corridor for the couple.

Such an ending to the wedding ceremony will be very beautiful and memorable, however, consider the following before organizing this scenario: first, the floors should be stone or tile, and not carpet. Secondly, the newlyweds must be sober. And thirdly, the administrators of the premises where the banquet is held must agree to this.

Wedding candles for photo shoots

Candles are perfect for creating unusual, beautiful and romantic wedding photos. If the photo shoot is held indoors, candles can not only serve as an element of décor but also give it an atmosphere of solemnity and mystery and bring interesting lighting effects. If the photo shoot of the newlyweds will take place outdoors (of course, at night), you can create a magnificent entourage with the help of wedding candles. For example, you can capture the kiss of the newlyweds inside the heart of candles. This design will look equally beautiful and spectacular on the snow and on the sand. You can create beautiful phrases with candle lights on the theme of love or use them to create a path along which the bride and groom can walk hand in hand.

A few more tips for using wedding candles in the décor of the ceremony:

The theme of the wedding can be emphasized with the help of fragrances. Scented candles are perfect for this. For example, if the wedding takes place in a classic style, the smell of garden flowers would be appropriate. For a winter wedding, pinecones and citrus smells are ideal.

Lighting scented candles for the wedding night is another great idea. They will help create an atmosphere of romance and tenderness.

Important! Do not forget that fire left unattended can cause harm. Be sure to remember the safety rules, be careful when using it, and do not leave candles near flammable things. Toward the end of the celebration, when the guests will be dancing, it is worth putting out the candles on the tables.

Love and be loved! And let your wedding be full of romance!
