Wedding Ceremony Essential Item: Candles ♡

"Candles" as a classic item for weddings ♡ Candles are romantic and cute even when just placed as ordinary interior decor, and when lit, they create a mood-filled space, showcasing various expressions. They are such wonderful items, right? ♡

[Wedding Productions] A Feature on Candle Decorations ♡

Candles can be used as alternatives for table numbers and place cards. By placing candles on guest tables or in the welcome area, we want to create a beautiful atmosphere with them ♡♡ This time, we will introduce wedding productions that utilize candles. ♩

Candle Production Example 1: Candle Service

The traditional performance of “Candle Service,” where candles are lit as the couple goes around each guest table, allows for conversations with each guest and opportunities for photos during the table round. It creates a fantastical atmosphere in the venue, doesn't it? ♡

Candles have a long-standing legend of warding off darkness and evil spirits, calling forth sacred angels with their precious flames. Lighting the candles on the guest tables holds the meaning of wishing happiness for the guests who have come to celebrate the couple ♩

Candle Production Example 2: Candle Relay

Guests light the candles in succession in a candle relay ♡ When the candle relay is finished, a sense of unity and a magical scenery will spread throughout the venue. *

Finally, everyone will blow out the candle flames while wishing for happiness ♡ The act of “blowing out the candle flame” carries the meaning of “sealing the wishes” within it. ♡

Candle Production Example 3: Floating Candles

Floating candles gently bobbing on the water ♡ They can be placed on guest tables or in the welcome area, which might be a nice idea too ♡

The combination of water and fire will create a fantastical, extraordinary venue ♡ Brides at wedding venues with pools might consider floating candles in the pool as well. *

Candle Production Example 4: Candle Illusion

“Candle Illusion” is a surprise performance where all the candles light up at once ♡ It instantly transforms the venue into a fantastical space, mesmerizing the guests ♡

Candle Production Example 5: Unity Candle

“Unity Candle” involves first preparing three candles. The mothers of the couple light the side candles, and then the bride and groom take the candle lit by their mother to light the central candle together ♡

The “Unity Candle,” commonly practiced in Western ceremonies, symbolizes the lives of the bride and groom, born from their mothers, leaving their parental homes, merging into one, and creating a new family together ♡
