Congratulations, you're planning your wedding day! Now it's time to come up with some affordable, make-ahead wedding decorations and favors to create a romantic atmosphere on your big day. Candles are always a wonderfully romantic addition to any wedding dcor that help set the mood for romance. You'll want your wedding and reception tables to sparkle and look their best, so here are some beautiful (and affordable) accent ideas using candles:
Personalized votives. Personalized wedding decor has always been a traditional way for the bride and groom to make their wedding day special. This can be done by monogramming the bride and groom's initials on everything from wedding stationary to candle votives. For an even nicer touch, try adding some meaningful graphics such as double hearts, rings or doves to these items as well.
Gel candles. These sparkling gems are ultra glamorous in wedding dcor. Place highly scented gel candles into clear or frosted glass votives to get the best effect. When lit, gel candles give off a lovely scent and they glow with a light that is unsurpassed by any other type of candle. And they last a long time, long enough that guests will be able to take them home as favors after the wedding and enjoy them later on for months. Every time they light the gel candles from your wedding, they will think of your special day.
Heart shaped candles. A wedding is about the joining of two hearts, so why not use heart shaped candles in your wedding decor? You can set them on individual votives or candle plates. For an even more stunning look, try grouping several heart candles in a deep rich red on mirrors on the centers of the tables as a focal point for guest to enjoy.
Floating candles. These are wonderful to use in just about any wedding theme. The great thing about floating candles, besides being available in every shape, color and scent imaginable, is that you can use them without worrying about starting a fire. Place floating candles in bowls, buckets or pails and set on and around tables for fun accents. Great for a casual or elegant wedding theme.
Sand candles. Remember when you were a child and you spent hours playing in the sand and building sandcastles at the beach? Well, you can bring some of those happy memories to your wedding decor by using sand candles in your decor. These are wonderful for a tropical or beach wedding of course, but don't forget that they also look wonderful with a Moroccan or other exotic themed wedding as well. Sand candles burn longer and they make wonderful wedding favors for your guests to take home.
Planning a romantic wedding is as simple as thinking of all those special little touches that you want your guests to remember. By using candles as part of your dcor and wedding favors, you will share the love and warmth of your special day that guests will remember always.
