Any item that is personalized is always going to be worth more and mean much more, whether it is something that you are going to keep for yourself, or something you made as a gift for the recipient. Simply because a personalized item means that the person who made or designed it took the time, trouble and effort to create it and the fact that it is the product of someone’s hard work makes it in itself priceless.
We already know that unity candles for the wedding ceremony is something that holds very special meaning to both the bride and the groom. Not only because of its symbolic meaning (that the bride and groom are beginning their new life together), but also because the unity candle is probably one of the few items at the wedding that the bride and groom will have to select together and it will be decorated with pictures or sayings or quotes which are special to both of them.
And if the bride and groom can’t find a candle that they want at the bridal shop, or even if they can’t find a candle that is quite special enough for their liking, then the solution to that is to go for personalized unity candles. These are perfect because the bride and groom are going to get everything they could want out of the candle and more when they choose to personalize it themselves.
These personalized unity candles can be handmade to tailor to the bride and groom’s specifications. They will be in full control of determining the candle’s size, shape, color and what decorations to put on the candle, all this done exactly to their liking. They could choose to have the candle decorated with embellishments like ribbons, trims, pearls or tiny little crystals to make it stand out a little more. And they could also be in charge of what they want the candle to be personalized with – whether it is with a photo of them as a couple, a poem perhaps that is special to both of them or one that they wrote for each other, they could have their invitation accompanying the candle or even have their names carved onto it. The possibilities are endless and the great thing about these personalized unity candles is that the end product will be entirely up to the bride and groom to determine.
There are two ways the couple could choose to go about creating their personalized unity candles. The first is that they could choose to make the thing entirely from scratch. If they don’t know how to go about doing that, not to worry because the internet provides plenty of websites that have a step-by-step guide which will lead you through the candle-making process. The second option (if they are pressed for time) is that they could simple buy a plain white pillar candle at a cheap price at any store and then buy the decorative material and start getting creative decorating it themselves.
Creating and decorating the unity candle is really not as hard or as complicated as it might appear to be at first. The beauty of modern technology is that almost everything under the sun is available to us online nowadays, and that includes tips, guides and ideas on how to go about creating your own personal candle. Not only will it be fun for both the bride and groom to carry out this little project, it is also a great way for them to spend some time together as a couple before the big day. Plus they could save on some money too as the project is a relatively inexpensive one if you know how to go about it right.
Whichever way the bride and groom eventually choose to create their own personalized unity candles – whether it’s from scratch or a plain pillar candle which they bought and choose to decorate themselves – one thing they can be sure of is that the candle is most definitely going to be unique and meaningful. Unique because it is something they both created together and it is born out of the imagination of two individuals, which you are not likely to find in any wedding store. And meaningful because it is something they both put time and effort into making, and the fact that they made it together binds them even more closely as a couple, which is exactly what the unity candle is suppose to do.
