Unity candle

So I wasnt planning on doing this, but after our meeting w/ the church we now are having one. Where did you get yours? I just wanted to buy a plain pillar candle and decorate it myself, but I can only find scented ones, which I am guessing wouldnt be allowed. I found a few sites that sold the unscented ones in sets of 10 or so, which I wouldn't need. Where did you find yours?

    We weren't going to do one either, but then I felt bad not.  I found mine on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SouthernBellWeddings.  The main candle and two tapers were customized with our initials, color, and monogram.

    We aren't doing one either so I'm not going to be much of a help, but to ask the obvious question, are you sure scented candles are out?  Most scented candles aren't that powerful and the church is probably a pretty large space.  I would think the church either wouldn't have an issue or wouldn't be able to tell.

    We got ours at Party City! It was $19.99 for the plain set.

    I'm surprised the church talked you into it- normally it's frowned upon, and in some cases it's forbidden. We had to get special permission to do the unity candle b/c it was very important to me.

    I got my set from Waterford... I'm willing to sell it if you are looking to buy a whole set. Used once! haha. There are little hearts on it, can't really tell though. It's the Marquis Yours Truly set.

    Thank you all for your help- thats the problem, I dont need a set- just the large candle since the church has the other candles and holders and everything. So I was trying to find just a plain, big candle. Online Davids Bridal has one on sale for $9.95, im guessing this is a good deal?

    You can get plain unscented candles at Ikea for cheap!

     Since I loved our winter theme, I purchased my birch bark unity candle set (without candles - I purchased the tapers at the dollar tree and the pillar at Michaels) from Etsy.

    For the Tapers:

    For the center candle:

    Same exact thing here! I sent her the .jpg of my aisle runner design/monogram and she put that on the candle. Came out beautifully, got it in less than a week after ordering, and was I believe 35 bucks total, and like 4 for shipping. highly recommend!
