A unity candle is used in a wedding ceremony to symbolize two individuals joining together in marriage. Symbolically, the beauty of flames is said to represent the love and passion each partner has for the other. Joining these flames together is a physical representation of the couple's enduring commitment.
The lighting of a unity candle is a relatively new trend that has become common practice in modern wedding ceremonies. It usually involves the couple lighting one large candle from two smaller family candles. Traditionally, the smaller candles are lit by each of their mothers, representing the merging of two families. Unity candle traditions are flexible, however, giving a couple the freedom to customize the experience as they would like for their wedding day.
A personalized unity candle set will add a special touch to your wedding ceremony and also serve as a beautiful keepsake for the married couple.
