- 1). Choose the appropriate size of candles for your wedding. In order to decorate candles, you have to choose the type of candles for the event. Buy a variety of candles to refrain from being limited in decorating. Candles bought in bulk will save you money and time.
- 2). Cut your wedding invitation to fit the candles. Cut the wedding invitations into a shape such as a heart. Attach the wedding invitations with ribbon and glue. Add a pearl border to each invitation to add more decor and interest to the candles. Use these candles as wedding favors for your guests, or attractive centerpieces for reception tables.
- 3). Tie ribbons around candles. This is a simple candle decoration idea. Choose ribbon colors that match your wedding. Instead of tying one ribbon around the candles, tie multiple ribbons and choose to use a variety of styles and sizes. Using ribbons on unity candles adds clarity and appeal to the ceremony.
- 4). Add your pictures to the wedding candles. Candle businesses specialize in creating unique candles. Place the pictures on candles yourself by using glue, pins, or tape. Selecting to add a border or beads around the pictures will frame the picture and make it stand out from the candle.
- 5). Glue flowers onto the candles. Place a thick piece of ribbon around a candle, and then hot glue a fake flower. Use real flowers only the night before or they will dry out. Try gluing several flowers onto a single candle to mask the candle and create your own flower arrangements with a variety of candle sizes.
- 6). Use floating candles as centerpieces. Decorate floating candles by grouping them with attractive pieces. Add floating candles to a large bowl filled with colorful stones, and sprinkle flower petals around the table. Place floating candles in jars wrapped with a meaningful wedding inscription to make your wedding memorable.
- 7). Personalize wedding candles by monogramming the couple's names or initials. Monogrammed candles create a more personal wedding by symbolizing the couple's love throughout the wedding event and reception. These types of candles work well for a variety of purposes. Use them as wedding favors, unity candles, centerpieces, or decorate them for the ends of church pews.
