May 6th, 2009 | By WeddingPlanner77

Weddings are quite elaborate celebrations that use different items to complete the ceremony. The lighting of the unity candle is one of the most important ceremonies done during the wedding. The couple can choose the unity candle that will be used during the ceremony.

There are different unity candles that they can choose from. The main unity candle is large and measures at around 3″ x 3″ x 9″. They are adorned with bows or engraved with hearts and other designs. Then there are two smaller candles that each person will hold. The smaller candles match the bigger candle and are adorned accordingly as well. These candles are kept by the couple as part of their wedding memento.
