One of the most beautiful moments of a traditional wedding ceremony is the lighting of the unity candles. To ensure that this moment isn’t flubbed in your wedding and that it all fits in beautifully with the rest of your decorations, you’ll want to choose the perfect wedding unity candle holder for you and your future spouse. What should you take into consideration when selecting one?

Shape

From hearts to rings to butterflies, unity candle stands come in many gorgeous and fashionable shapes. You may want a plainer piece, in which case you should select a traditional pillar holder or something more utility; these fit well into simple weddings. But if you want it to be a decorative piece, you can choose from a wide variety of shapes and designs. There are even holders in the shapes of various animals!

Color

Gold and silver are the traditional candle holder colors, and there are variations on these shades too. But if you’re going for something less classical, try shiny black matte, delicate clear crystal, or even smooth pearly ivory. Many companies that offer wedding unity candle holders allow you to customize your choice, so you can select the perfect design and the right color to match.

Number of Pieces

While each unity candle holder design is unique, the majority are either in one piece or three pieces. One-piece holders keep the candles neatly in a row no matter how you move or place them, and prevent one individual candle from pulling the whole piece over, as it is balanced out by the other two. Three-piece holders allow you more flexibility with placement and movement, and if you go with a three-piece set you can even have your own unique lighting ceremony, starting with the individual candles anywhere you want. Carefully consider the nature of your unity candle lighting before you choose.
