Unity candle

gymchick05

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 just got ours from David's. Probably paid too much!

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.

Michaels has some sets.

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 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!

I got plenty of candles (big, pillar ones) for my centerpieces at Michael's, unscented.
