The Meaning Behind the Unity Candle Ceremony

The unity candle ceremony is one of the most touching moments of a wedding. Traditionally, the couple lights a single candle together, representing their shared future. Two smaller candles—lit by the bride’s and groom’s families—symbolize their individual lives and families before marriage.

This ritual beautifully illustrates love, balance, and togetherness. Many couples choose to personalize their unity candle set by adding their names, wedding date, or a meaningful quote.

To elevate the moment, opt for handcrafted candles made from natural wax with elegant holders—pieces that can later decorate your home as a keepsake of your vows.
