Choosing Candles for your wedding

There really is nothing quite like flickering candlelight to set the right mood for love and romance on your wedding day, and candles are synonymous with romance.
The romantic aspect of a candle makes them a perfect accompanyment for your wedding day in more then just one way.
In this article we look at two ideas for incorporating these wonderful little extras into your special day.

Table Centrepieces
When you are planning a wedding, possibly one of the last things on your mind is how you are going to decorate the tables at your wedding reception. It will become a talking point during the day, as all of your guests will be gathered around the tables, so it's worth spending some time and thought on it.
When it comes to to decorating your tables on your wedding day, there are several different options available, varying from flowers and balloons, or even minature statues. However, the classic idea of a candle still makes a very popular choice amongst couples when they are planning the table decorations at the venue.

Candles can really set the romantic mood at your wedding, and a flickering glow of the light adds that very special touch to the reception, but there is another area a candle can help with, and that is by adding a wonderful fragrance and scent to your reception.
An ideal frgrant candle is a Yankee Candle, which come in all shapes, sizes and colours. Their main product is a large 22oz jar candle with a wide variety of fragrances, it makes them absolutley perfect for a table centrepiece for your wedding.

Yankee Candles not only set the mood for romance, but you are also filling your wedding venue with fragrance that all of wedding guests will appreciate.
Their candles come in such a variety of colours that you are guarenteed to find one that will match the colour scheme you have selected for your wedding.

So when you are planning what to place as your decorative table centrepiece, don't just think of a plain white or cream coloured candle that will just look nice on the table, consider a large Yankee Candle jar that will fill the room with beautiful fragrant scents also. With some imagination, and a little effort, the candles can be easily decorated to look fanatastic in the centre of your tables.
Yankee Candles can even act as a keepsake of your wedding day for selected guests to take home as the large candles have a burn time of over 100 hours, so there will be plenty left over at the end of the evening.

Wedding Favours

Everyone has been to a wedding and received a small gift as a token of thanks at the reception from the bride and groom, these are most commonly known as wedding favours.
The original wedding favour idea, for some unknown reason a small velvet bag of sugared almonds as a gift, however couples are now thinking of more interesting ideas for their wedding favours.

The idea of giving a small token of a gift for your guests as a thank you for attending your wedding day, needn't be anything expensive, but it is always nicer to give them something that is usable and practical, rather then a gift that will end up hidden in a cupboard collecting dust.

Yankee Candles make a huge section of small sampler candles that you could buy in large quantities, and are very affordable.
For couples with a slightly larger wedding budget, or who prefer to give a larger favour, then Yankee Candles also make a small jar, which still remains an inexpensive enough gift to present to your wedding guests.
Either of the small candle jars, or their sampler candles make fantastic wedding favour options, and if you decide to opt for the larger candle jars for your table centrepieces, then guests will be delighted to receive a small sample of the candle to take home, the scent alone will bring back fond memories of the day for them.

Again, the small candle jars are very easily decorated with some coloured ribbon that could match the scheme of your wedding, along with a small hand written card, a Yankee Candle makes the ideal wedding favour for your guests to appreciate and actually use to brighten up their own homes.

So if you are planning your wedding and looking for some ideas for your special day, and would like to add an increased air of elegance, purity and class to the occasion, then why not consider buying the Yankee Candles for your special day.
