What Kind of Candle is Used at a Wedding Ceremony?

28/01/2025 /Posted byThe Candledust

Candles are a timeless addition to wedding ceremonies, bringing warmth, symbolism, and an intimate ambiance to the event. From the well-known unity candle to decorative votives and pillars, different types of candles serve both aesthetic and symbolic roles. This guide explores the most popular candle types used in wedding ceremonies, their meanings, and tips for choosing the perfect candle for your big day.

The Unity Candle: A Symbol of Union​

The unity candle is a popular wedding candle, symbolizing the merging of two lives into one. During this ritual, two smaller taper candles, often lit by the mothers or another family member, are used by the couple to light a larger central candle. This act represents the blending of two families and the union of the couple. Many couples personalize their unity candle with engravings, wedding dates, or colors to match the theme of their day.

How to Perform the Unity Candle Ceremony

After exchanging vows, the officiant introduces the unity candle ritual. The two taper candles are lit by family members and then used by the couple to light the central unity candle, representing their union. Couples often personalize this part with meaningful music or symbolic words, adding to the ceremony’s depth.

Additional Types of Wedding Ceremony

1. Taper Candles

Taper candles add elegance and are commonly used as part of the unity candle ceremony or to decorate the altar. These slender candles can be arranged in candelabras or candle holders, available in various colors and heights to match the wedding decor.

2. Votive Candles

Votive candles create a soft, romantic glow and are perfect for enhancing the ambiance at both the ceremony and reception. These small candles can be arranged along the aisle or on tables, offering a warm touch. Votives come in various colors and scents, making them easy to customize for the wedding theme.

3. Pillar Candles

Pillar candles are versatile, sturdy, and ideal for centerpieces, aisle markers, or as part of the unity candle setup. These candles are stable, long-lasting, and available in different sizes and styles, including eco-friendly options made from soy or beeswax.

4. Floating Candles

Floating candles add a magical, ethereal quality to weddings. Often arranged in glass bowls or decorative ponds, they create beautiful reflections, especially in outdoor or water-themed settings. Available in various shapes and colors, floating candles bring a touch of romance to the ceremony decor.

5. Glass Cylinders with Candle Sand

Glass cylinders filled with candle sand are a stylish and customizable option for weddings. These candles allow you to layer different colors of sand and adjust the candle height by adding or removing sand. The Candledust Candle Sand offers a variety of colors and textures, making it easy to match your wedding theme. Plus, they’re reusable—simply replace the wick after the event to enjoy them again.

Tips for Choosing Wedding Candles

Choosing the right candles for your wedding involves considering both aesthetics and practicality. Here are some essential tips: 

– Match the Wedding Theme: Select candle types and colors that enhance the wedding theme. For example, floating candles work well for outdoor or beach settings, while pillar candles add elegance to a formal indoor venue.
– Select Appropriate Colors and Scents: Choose romantic colors like white, ivory, or pastel shades. Scented candles can enhance the atmosphere, but keep the scent subtle so it doesn’t overpower the space.
– Opt for High-Quality Candles: Reliable brands like The Candledust Candle offer high-quality wedding candles crafted from eco-friendly materials, ensuring a clean, even burn and minimal smoke.

From the symbolic unity candle to decorative votives and floating candles, each type brings its own beauty and charm to the event. With the right selection, you can set a warm, memorable ambiance that reflects your unique love story.
