Setting the mood for the wedding - using candles as decoration

You have come so far and excitedly waited for the big day to come. Anxiously, you and your good friends are at the venue trying to finish the final touches for the big event. Everything, from arrangement of tables, centerpieces and the layout of the pathway. You have always wanted to create a romantic setting for the big day and guess what, you could use some candles to lit  up the pathway (provided that you are doing in the evening). Not only does candles enhance the visibility of the aisle, it also adds the tone of romance in the air!!!

I was surfing the net and saw some really cool candles, which some comes in designer colors,  are rather inexpensive, which I think would greatly add to the romantic theme for the occasion. Candles can also be used as wedding centerpieces.

Using candles is an inexpensive and good way as they are portable.  One thing to note is that, due to the winds from the sea, you may need to use a covered glass to hold the candles in to minimize them from getting blown out all the time. Using floating candles and putting them in a nice covered bowl could ask as an inexpensive decor to the plain wedding reception table, cocktail table or the wedding cake table.

In the previous article, I did mentioned that some sort of lighting is essential to lit up the surrounding, especially if you are having an evening wedding. Putting some nice sphere shape candles on the tables not only double up as a decorative item but only help to provide some light. These cool sphere candles (available in different colors) below have a long lifetime too, up to 15 hours. Of course this would be dependent on how strong the winds are at the venue.

Alternatively, you can also try to match the beach theme such as the one below:

And of course, the very basic and versatile  tealite candles also can be used, be it to be used in the burner for the aromatherapy for the reception table or at the guests tables.
