 Unity Candles are an historic and wonderful part of the wedding ceremony and becoming more popular for this generation. Most unity candles are decorated with a wedding invitation, inscription, picture, or ornamentation. Most unity candles are white or ivory. During the ceremony music may be played, special music by an accompanist, or special reading of the unity candle tradition that is shared with their guests.
The unity candle symbolizes many things for different ceremonies, but some ceremonies have one unity candle and other ceremonies have several unity candles. However, when one unity candle is used in a wedding ceremony, it symbolizes the uniting of the couple. The unity candle ceremony symbolizes a pledge of love between a bride and groom. The bride and the groom will each take one taper and light the unity candle.
If there are three unity candles used, the families of the bride and groom are included in the lighting of the unity candles and unite the families together as well as the bride and the groom. After the lighting of the candle, this symbolizes the commitment towards their future together as husband and wife and come together and unites the family and a couple.
A unity candle is a wonderful part of a wedding tradition because it is special and symbolic for the families and the couple and is a special part of the ceremony that will always be cherished.
