Unity Candles & Wedding Candles

The lighting of the unity candle offers a reflective moment during the wedding ceremony and is often accompanied by music.  Many couples will have their mothers light the taper candles first which symbolizes the joining of both families.  The couple will then use the taper candles to light their unity candle.  

If you or your fiancé have children, consider a family unity candle.  Each child, along with the bride and groom will use a taper candle to light the unity candle.  This a memorable way to include the children in the ceremony and for them to feel special.  Afterall, this is a life changing event for them too!

Unity Candle Tip:  Make sure your church allows unity candles to be lit in their facility.  Be sure to purchase a smokeless and drip-less unity candle.
