Personalized wedding candles can make excellent wedding favors. You can design them to reflect your own personal taste and share this with all your friends and family. The candle itself can of course symbolize a new beginning as in the popular wedding tradition of lighting a single larger candle using two smaller candles during the ceremony.
There are few occasions in a person’s life that will be remembered fondly for a lifetime. One’s wedding day is one such event. A couple planning their wedding often find the “to-do” list daunting from deciding on a wedding venue, bridal gown, wedding invitations, wedding cake, and wedding accessories. An important purchase for any thoughtfully executed wedding is wedding favors. These are small gifts of appreciation given by the bride and groom to their wedding guests.
Giving wedding favors to guests at a wedding ceremony dates back hundreds of years. The contents of these original favors contained sugar cubes and other sweet confections. In the thirteenth century, wedding favors were traditionally five sugared almonds that symbolized the hopes of long life, happiness, wealth, fertility and health for the bride and groom.
Couples in the 21st Century are no longer bound by tradition when deciding on the perfect wedding favors to distribute to their wedding guests. Many are choosing gifts based on their wedding theme, or those that compliment their wedding decor. Although personalized wedding candles are popular wedding favors, options today are only limited by the bride and groom’s imagination!
Personalized wedding candles can be fashioned into various forms and designs to compliment a traditional, non-traditional, seasonal or themed wedding. If the bride and groom are planning a traditional wedding, there are candle wedding favors that would suite their particular style and taste. Personalized wedding candles can be shaped into monogrammed hearts, elegant two tier wedding cakes, and gift boxes. These candle wedding favors would add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any traditional wedding.
