Candles are a beautiful and versatile decoration for any wedding venue. From classic white pillars to colorful votives, there are countless options to choose from. Here are some ideas for using candles to create a warm, whimsical, and romantic atmosphere on your big day.
Centerpieces
You can use candles to create a beautiful centerpiece! Cluster a few pillar candles or votives of different heights in the center of each table, and surround them with greenery or flowers. Or, opt for a more eclectic look by mixing and matching various candle types, sizes, and colors.
Ceremony
Consider incorporating candles into your ceremony decor. Line the aisle with lanterns or votives, or use them to create a beautiful backdrop for your vows. You can also use candles to decorate your altar or chuppah. Just be aware that lining your aisle with candles can pose a fire hazard for the guests sitting beside them and clumsy loved ones walking the aisle!
Ambient Lighting
Use candles to create ambient lighting throughout your venue. Place votives in small glass jars or tea lights on windowsills, mantels, and other surfaces. You can also hang lanterns or string lights for a whimsical touch.
Scented Candles
Consider using scented candles to add an extra layer of ambiance. Choose a scent that complements your wedding theme, such as lavender for a garden wedding or cinnamon for a fall wedding. We suggest shopping around and finding ones that aren’t too overpowering to fill a room with!
All in all, candles are a simple and beautiful way to decorate your wedding venue. If you love the idea of having real candles on your wedding day, make sure to check with your venue prior to booking as some prohibit the open flames. But with so many options to choose from, you can easily create a romantic and cozy atmosphere that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
