When it comes to weddings, there’s nothing more romantic than candlelight. It’s the perfect way to create an atmosphere that will set the tone for your entire day–and it doesn’t have to be expensive! Here are some ideas for incorporating candles into your big day:
Candlelit dinner
A candlelit dinner is a romantic way to begin your reception. The candlelight can be used in the venue or outdoors, depending on the weather. Candles can be placed in glass holders or lanterns to create a warm, intimate atmosphere.
It’s important that you choose the right type of candle for your wedding day—the wrong one could burn out quickly and become more of an annoyance than anything else!
If you want candles that will last throughout the night, make sure they have a wide base so they don’t tip over easily. Also make sure to trim any wicks so they aren’t too long.
Get candlelit dinner-themed invitations.
The first step to making your wedding feel like a candlelit dinner is to send out invitations that look like they came from a restaurant.
- Send out invites at least two weeks before the wedding, but no more than three months in advance. This gives you time to plan an amazing event, but not too much time for people to get cold feet or change their mind about attending.
- Send these invitations first thing in the morning so they can be opened right when people get home from work or school and are sitting on their couch after dinner (or in bed with their significant other). Don’t just email them—make sure they receive something special in the mail!
Personalized candles
Personalized candles can be given as gifts to your wedding party or guests. These candles have the names or initials of the people they’re meant for on them, making them perfect keepsakes and mementos of your special day.
Other personalized candle ideas include keeping the theme of your wedding alive with customized candles that feature the date of your wedding and/or colors that match those used in decorations at your ceremony. If you’re planning a winter wonderland-themed bash, consider using snowflakes as inspiration for personalized candles with snowflake designs or other festive patterns such as holly leaves and berries. Alternatively, if you want to honor your parents during this special time in their lives (or perhaps even make amends), consider giving them personalized “mom” and “dad” candles that will remind them of how much they mean to you every time they use them!
Candles on a pool of water
Candles are a great way to add lighting to an outdoor wedding. Candles can be set in glass bowls, glasses bottles and jars to make them look like lanterns. The candles can also be placed in a shallow pool of water for an even more elegant effect.
Candlelit aisle
You can also use candles on either side of the aisle. This creates a romantic ambiance, and it’s easy to set up. All you need are a few candles in hurricane lamps or votive holders along the pathway.
When it comes to centerpieces, you can use floating candles in bowls or vases to add a little extra flair to your wedding table. This idea is especially great if you’re having an outdoor wedding since there aren’t any electrical outlets nearby!
Use floating candles in the centerpieces.
Floating candles are a great way to decorate your tables. They can be placed in bowls or vases, and they also add a romantic glow to the centerpieces.
Fill mason jars with tea lights and hang them from trees.
Mason jars are a great way to reuse glass bottles. You can use them for many things, such as storing foods like homemade jam or making your own salad dressing. You can also use mason jars to hold tea lights and hang them from trees!
Use a hook to attach the jar to a tree branch so that the candlelight shines through its window-like opening. Make sure whatever tree you attach it to is sturdy enough for people not just pets who may accidentally knock over your creation!
Place candles in hurricane lamps on either side of the aisle.
For this idea, you will need to place a couple of hurricane lamps on either side of the aisle. The candle should be about two feet in front of each seat. The candle should be placed on a table or ledge so that it is at eye level for people walking down the aisle.
Set up candles in votive holders along the pathway to the reception area.
Votive holders are a great way to add some romance and drama to your reception. They can be used to light up your entire reception, or they can simply serve as a pathway for guests as they walk in.
Votive holders can also be placed along the pathway leading up to your reception area. This is especially helpful if you have an elaborate entrance that requires guests walk through several rooms before reaching their seats. By placing votive holders along this pathway, it will create a sense of mystery around what is happening next!
Your wedding will be magically romantic if you use lots of candles.
If you want your wedding to be filled with romance, set up candles in every corner and nook of your reception venue. Candles are a very romantic way to light up the night and create a wonderful atmosphere for people to enjoy. You don’t need much more than some small tea lights or votives for small tables, but tall tapers can also be used on larger tables if desired. You could even place larger pillar candles on pedestals at the front of each table for extra height and drama!
Conclusion
Planning a wedding can be stressful, but you can make it easier by using candles. A romantic atmosphere makes everyone feel relaxed and happy, so why not start with your own wedding? You don’t need to spend a lot of money on decorations—just find creative ways to incorporate candles into all aspects of your special day.
