Planning the wedding of your dreams can be a big undertaking. There are so many things you must remember to make your special day memorable. While there is no one way to plan a wedding, there are some accessories that you will not want to forget to make your wedding ceremony beautiful and unforgettable.

1.  Unity Ceremony Supplies: One of the oldest and most meaningful elements of a wedding celebration is the unity ceremony. Traditionally, this ceremony involves the use of candles. A large pillar candle is placed in the middle flanked by two taper candles that represent the groom’s family and the bride’s family. The pillar candle may be personalized with the bride and groom’s names as well as the date of the wedding. During this ceremony, the bride and groom each use their taper candle to simultaneously light the pillar candle. This action is to represent the two families coming together as one. It is a common occurrence at weddings of every faith and any style.

Recently, many modern couples have replaced the unity candle with the unity sand ceremony. This ritual requires the use of colored sand rather than candles to represent the bride and groom’s families. A beautiful empty vase is places in the center of the table flanked by a jar of colored sand to represent the groom and a different colored sand to represent the bride’s family. As the unity sand vows are recited, the bride and groom take turns pouring their sand in layers into the decorative vase. Finally, the groom and bride pour their sand together into the vase to symbolize the merging of two families into one.

2.  Flower Girl Accessories: While not a required part of your ceremony, many couples choose to include a flower girl as part of their wedding party. Typically a young girl dressed in a beautiful gown, the flower girl walks down the aisle ahead of the bride sprinkling rose petals from her decorative basket along the way. There are a variety of beautiful baskets that are available. Many brides attached an elegant ribbon to the basket that matches the bridesmaids’ dresses. Fresh petals can be used but silk petals are a more affordable choice.

3.  Ring Bearer Supplies: Just like the flower girl, the ring bearer is not a necessity but many couples like to include a young male relative or friend in the wedding party. He typically walks behind the flower girl with the wedding rings tied to a decorative pillow. There are many pillow styles to choose from. A white satin pillow is usually considered the traditional choice but many colored versions are available as well.

4.  Wedding Programs: The wedding program is an important element of the ceremony that may be overlooked in the planning process. This printed paper informs all of your guests about the highlights of the day. You may include a schedule of events, information about the music and readings, biographies of the wedding party, directions to the reception venue, and more. It makes a special keepsake for you and your guests as they reflect on your special day.

Your wedding ceremony should be a day to remember. Don’t let the task of planning and preparation get in the way of enjoying the event.

Candles are an important part of any wedding ceremony and reception. They help set the mood and emit a warm glow that creates a romantic atmosphere. Candles can be used for a variety of purposes to help make your wedding day elegant and memorable.

Decorating with candles is a beautiful and affordable way to enhance the venue of your event. One way to do this is by using candles and luminaries to light the path into the place where the ceremony will be held. Imagine how impressed and inspired your guest will be as they make their way into your religious institution or gathering space. With candles lighting the way, you immediately set the tone for the rest of the evening’s events.

Dim lighting and the glow of candles give the entire venue a sense of romance and sophistication. Consider using candles to replace or enhance the lighting that is currently in the gathering space. The soft light emitted from candles is very flattering and creates a warm, intimate atmosphere. Use candelabras and other elegant holders to display your candles. Incorporate them into your floral arrangements and place them strategically around the room to improve the ambiance.

The unity candle plays a central role in many wedding celebrations. There are many styles that can be personalized with the bride and groom’s names as well as the date of the ceremony. It usually consists of a large, pillar candle flanked by a taper on each side to represent the bride’s family and the groom’s family. Not only is it beautiful to look at, it is a wedding tradition that is intensely symbolic. Many couples keep their unity candle as a reminder of that special bond created on their wedding day.

Not only will candles enhance the wedding ceremony, they are also a nice addition to your reception. Candles are an elegant way to add light and sophistication to your tables. Find an attractive holder or create your own with satin ribbon or other decorations. Floating candles in a large glass bowl are a popular choice as are votive or taper candles surrounded by flowers. Personalized candles can be used on your tables as well. No matter what your style, choose candles and centerpieces that will compliment the theme or color scheme of your wedding celebration.

Finally, candles make a fun and meaningful favor for your guests. They can be personalized with your name and date of the wedding. You can find candles that are molded into interesting shapes or designs that may reflect the personality of the couple. Your centerpieces can be taken home as a favor as well, saving you time and money. Be sure to use festive wrapping supplies to make your favor look special. Attach a personalized sticker or tag thanking your guests for attending your special day. They will appreciate the gift and the sentiment.
