Unity Candle

The unity candle symbolizes the newly joined couple plus the joining of their two families. The lighting of the unity candle offers a reflective moment during the wedding ceremony and many couples will relight it on their wedding anniversary.

At the beginning of the wedding ceremony, the bride's parents light a candle on their side of the altar and the groom's parents light one on their side. After the couple exchanges their vows, the bride and groom will then carry their family's candle to the center where they both light the unity candle that has been placed there.

Unity Candle Tips

Used at the wedding ceremony to symbolize the uniting of two individuals or families, the bride and groom use tapers to light the pillar candle forming one flame. Or, the mothers can light the pillar candle at the beginning of the ceremony and then the bride and groom use that flame to light the union candle. This tradition has become an integral part of today’s wedding service for many couples.

When selecting a unity candle for your wedding ceremony, look for:

  • Unity Candles that are smokeless and/or dripless.  Many churches will not allow you to use a candle unless it is smokeless and dripless.

  • Candles with embellishments such as Swarovski® crystals, tulle and twine with a cluster of seashells or a sumptuous bow of sheer satin ribbon that is accented with beautifully sculpted rose or, if you prefer, candles with just a plain bow.

  • Don't forget to purchase the tapers to go with the candle.  The tapers my be used by the bride and groom or mothers of the bride and groom, during the unity candle lighting ceremony.

  • However you choose to incorporate candles into your services, you can’t go wrong with the warm glow, symbolism and elegant touch candles provide.

    A Unity Candle adds a reflective moment to a wedding ceremony.
