Unity Candles and Wedding Candle Unity Sets for the Unity Candle Ceremony

The unity candle ceremony is performed at a pre-determined time during the wedding ceremony.  This involves the bride and groom, each taking lighted candles and lighting a third candle together while exchanging vows, a poem or perhaps a song.

The two separate flames come together to create a new, single flame, symbolizing the unity of the bride and groom as their separate lives are joined to create a single bond, through holy matrimony.

Unity candles are available in a variety of styles and colors. Wedding candle unity sets are arranged by themes and colors to include:

• Sand ceremony unity candles
• Personalized unity candles
• White unity candle sets with decorations and colorful trim
• Ivory unity candle sets  decorated with colorful accents and trim
• Carved heart unity candles
• Unity candle holders

Square and round pillar candles can be ordered separately or in combination with matching taper candles.

To complete your unity ceremony, we offer a nice variety of unity candle holders, available in silver, gold and resin finishes, to compliment your wedding theme and colors.

Sand Ceremony Unity Candles and Colored Wedding Sand

Sand ceremony unity candles are a unique alternative to traditional unity candles used for the wedding unity ceremony.

Traditionally, the bride and groom use two lighted taper candles to light a third "unity" candle to symbolize two individuals becoming one.

The wedding sand ceremony is performed in the same manner.  Instead of lighting a flame on a candle, colored sand is poured from two separate vases or containers into a third container.

A sand unity set includes three narrow glass cylinders and one larger cylinder.  Sand is available in 8 popular colors to represent the bride, the groom, the celebrant, and children if desired.

Personalized Wedding Unity Candles

Add a personal touch to your wedding unity ceremony with a unity candle personalized with the bride and groom's names.  After the ceremony, your unity candle can be stored as a treasured keepsake reminder of your unity vows.

Your personalized unity candle can be used again and again in the years to come as you celebrate your wedding anniversary or renew your vows to one another.
