Candle Favors: Bring a Touch of Warmth and a Flicker of Light to Your Guests' Home

Candle Favors are wildly popular for a very good reason. There is little in the world that is more inviting than the flicker of candle light.

While the primary reason for giving any wedding favor is to express your appreciation that they chose to spend your wedding day celebrating with you, candle favors give you the opportunity to take it to the next level. How? First is the opportunity that candle favors give you to add to and accent your decor. Choose a candle that will not only be suitable as a favor, but also as a part of your decor. This will have the effect of saving you the time of running all over town looking for wedding reception decor and favors. It will also, and this is probably more important, help your favor to remind your guest of your special day!

Likewise, with a little thought a creative bride has an often overlooked opportunity to set her wedding ceremony or reception apart from the everyday wedding with candle favors. Imagine lantern favors or luminaries lining the aisle of an outdoor evening wedding such as a sunset beach wedding. Imagine the elegant Rose Ball Candle sitting atop a dramatic crystal candelabrum as the focal point for the centerpieces at the reception. Imagine the possibilities presented by flaming roses!

Of course, candle favors are one of the more economical ways to closely tie your wedding favors into the theme of your wedding. Of course we've all seen candles with images or materials pressed into the candle. And we've seen beautifully carved or molded candles. Indeed candle wedding favors can be poured into the shape of a sea shell, an apple, a piece of chocolate, or Prince Charming's carriage.

Likewise, candles can be formed in a wine glass to suit a more formal wedding reception as well as a vineyard reception, but they can also be gel candles with specific materials suspended inside a transparent or translucent gel to match a specific theme. In short, candle favors can not only fit any wedding celebration, but can truly make them glow.
