Holiday Candle Centerpieces

A wedding candle centerpiece is a simple, and inexpensive, way to enhance your wedding setting and decorations. Creating your own candle centerpieces for your wedding will enable you to add your own personal touches to your wedding decorations.

Not only can these centerpieces enhance the beauty of your wedding theme, but they can also be exquisite take home keepsakes for your guests. The types of wedding candle centerpieces you choose, or design and create on your own, are limitless.

A simple flower arrangement on your wedding tables can enliven any scene, but a candle centerpiece adds that special glow. Although you can purchase a centerpiece, designing your own candle centerpiece is fun and doesn’t have to cost much either. These decorations can be made by numerous types of materials and can showcase the colors in your wedding theme.

A centerpiece should be noticeable, but not so large as to take up space on the tables or be a hindrance to conversations. The best wedding candle centerpiece will be small in size, but exquisitely designed. White, or colored, ribbons can be tied around the candle to add that special little touch.

The candle can be based in a small glass bowl full of colored rocks, sand, or flowers; floating candles can be placed in a dish of clear, or colored, water.

The candle can be scented, or you can use a simple beeswax, or white votive, candle. A wreath of flowers wrapped around the base of the candle adds color and beauty to the centerpiece.

If you need more inspiration to help with creating that special wedding candle centerpiece there are numerous resources available. The internet is one of the best resources that you can use to check out different types of wedding candle centerpieces that can be made. Other ideas can be seen in wedding magazines and books. Ask friends, and family, for their creative input.

With so many different types of wedding stores, products, and services available it can sometimes be difficult to feel like you have contributed your own personal touches to your wedding. Creating your own wedding candle centerpiece is the perfect way to be intimately involved in the decorations for your wedding. These centerpieces can help to add a beautiful glow to the wedding atmosphere. They can dazzle and shimmer, or they can be simple little pieces of beauty. Whichever design you choose, a wedding candle centerpiece will be a charming addition to your wedding atmosphere.              http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Charity_Adams

Candles as Wedding Favors

Of the various kinds of wedding favors that have been widely prevalent across generations, the most popular are candle wedding favors. Some of these candle wedding favors are scented and the pleasant aroma associated with it gives out positive vibes to the wedding guests. Candle favors look exquisitely beautiful and are available in various forms, shapes, and sizes.

In fact, they are designed superbly for the occasion. Most of the favor candles are attached with flat platforms at their base, usually the size of a wallet, which enables a more stable use. Candle wedding favors can also be personalized. This act is immensely appreciated by the wedding guests as it is a means that manages to touch the heart of everyone.

Very popular among these are floating candles many of which are designed to emulate a red rose, the flower denoting true love. Apart from these scented candles, there are also many other kinds available like jar candles and tea candles.

Some of the popular scents which are incorporated in these candles include coconut, apple pie, jasmine, chocolate, caramel, sandalwood, vanilla, and many others. If used carefully these candles can last for some time and are great mementos for the guests and act as a means to recollect the beautiful memories associated with the wedding ceremony.

When distributing candle wedding favors among your wedding guests, it is necessary to remember that with aromatic candles, one must be careful to not buy candles that have such a strong aroma that they overpower your reception tables. This will lead to an unpleasant dining experience for your wedding guests.
