The use of Unity Candles is an established ritual in church and non-religious weddings, and many celebrants welcome the use of candles as a meaningful focus during the ceremony. The bride and groom, their mothers or other chosen family members, each hold a side candle and together light the larger main candle, symbolising the coming together of two individuals as one and the unifying of their families. Alternatively, a set of matching taper candles may be used to light the side candles and then transfer the flame across to the main candle. Many more images are available from our library and these can be forwarded as examples as appropriate. Please also browse through the photos in the section 'Match your Theme' and 'Photo Candles', and any other category listed, for features which may suit your own style. Candles by Design is all about customisation, and all candles are created individually to your requirements. For a price guide, please see introductory text under 'Weddings'.
