Taper Candle Holders Add Ambiance To Your Wedding Day

Eye-catching taper candle holders add romantic ambiance to your wedding ceremony and reception. Whether you choose to use them for a unity candle ceremony or display them on tables, the glow from candlelight brings the light of love to your wedding day.

Because candles come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors and fragrances, you can find choices to match every aspect of your wedding day. Tea light candles add a little light to small spaces. Votives are slightly larger and often displayed in wall sconces for elegant appeal as you walk by. Taper candles are the traditional, long candles displayed on dining room tables and mantels. In contrast, pillar candles are the biggest, widest candles and some even have multiple wicks. Because taper candles are so popular, you can find countless taper candle holders according to your personal decorating preferences.

Choose wedding unity candles in beautiful colors to match your wedding party. Select specially scented candles for a warm, welcoming fragrance at your wedding ceremony and reception. If you have guests with allergies, you may want to avoid using scented candles. Display taper candles in different sizes to make a dramatic statement on altars and tables. Use attractive taper candle holders to add extra appeal your display.

A popular choice for weddings are ivory and white  ones displayed in classic silver holders. These simple accents match any wedding theme, regardless of the location or colors used. Basic tall and short white tapers attract attention because of interesting size differences. Display white tapers in silver taper candle holders for a timeless, crisp look at any type of wedding. If you decide to use ivory or cream-colored tapers instead, use gold ones for a more lavish look.

Traditional ones in silver and gold work well for all wedding styles. The simplicity draws your guests’ attention to the candlelight rather than the taper candle holders. If you want to bring bling to your tables and ceremonies, select embellished ones with eye-catching accents. From tall ones to ones featuring sparkling crystal adornments, there are exciting options to give your candle displayed added glamor.

Clear crystal taper candle holders look magnificent during wedding ceremonies and receptions because they capture the glowing light from the candles, casting prisms on your tables and walls. Tiny rainbows bring the colors of love wherever you display crystal ones. Another glittering option is using silver or gold holders with sparkling crystal dangles. The dangling crystal adornments hang from heart or wedding ring designs on the bottom. These small dangling accents capture the candlelight and reflect rainbows of colors randomly throughout your wedding ceremony and reception.

If you have an old-fashioned wedding complete with fairy tale decorations and styles from yesteryear, you may prefer ornate candles in an antique bronze finish. Using heavy, antiqued ones will match the vision of your wedding day.

They are also used during a unity candle ceremony. After the bride and groom exchange their vows, a unity candle ceremony is performed to express the union of two people as one. This union is represented by one pillar candle and two taper or votive candles. The bride and groom each hold a smaller candle to light the large pillar candle, to show they are joined together forever as a married couple in love. Special candle holders are used to make the ceremony more memorable.

Unity candles are designed to hold both pillar and taper candles. Some are one piece with the smaller candle holders permanently attached to the larger ones. Others feature two separate taper candle holders and a pillar candle holder. Since they will become lasting keepsakes of this magical wedding moment, you should select a style that will look fabulous at both your wedding venue and your marital home.
