Benefits of Using Candles

Having candles at your wedding or reception can really add to the overall experience for you and your guests. Not only do the candles release a pleasant aroma to fill the air, but the lighting can also create a calming ambiance. It has a gentle glow, making the room feel warm and comfortable. Depending on the scent of the candle, there are varying benefits. This, however,  is an area that you have a lot of freedom in. Luckily, you can make your own candles and mix and match whatever scents you’re looking for! 

Different Types of Candles

When looking for wedding candles, it’s important to consider what type of candle will be the best fit for your venue. Here are just a few different types that you could consider:

  • Votives: These are perfect if you are looking for a smaller type of candle. This type, however, isn’t in cups or holders. This will mean that you need to find candle holders to keep the wax off your surfaces, unlike other candles that are poured into holders. Votive candles also burn for a long time (around fifteen hours) and will last throughout the wedding. 

  • Pillar Candles: Pillars are a sturdy, classic candle type. These can add an elegant and traditional touch to your wedding. Often these come in a cylinder or square-shaped holder, but they work well in a variety of different designs. These types of candles can even come in a variety of shapes, colors, designs, textures, etc. 

  • Taper: This style of candle is also known as a candlestick. Depending on how they are arranged and the holder's design, it can change the aesthetic and style it fits. If you are looking for a narrow, sleek candle that is considered elegant, then this is the candle style for your wedding. 

These are only some of the styles of candles that you can incorporate into your wedding. There are multiple other directions you can go with your candle style and arrangements at your wedding.
