Wedding Candle Ideas for the Busy Bride

Planning a wedding is always a crazy time. Although some brides can stop work and do nothing except plan their wedding for six months, all too many brides must balance a professional life and wedding planning. For many of these brides to be, the most difficult part of planning the wedding is the details. While it is perfectly possible to spend an 8 hour or more workday filling out US immigration forms, helping clients with green card applications or green card renewal forms and then spend 6 hours planning wedding details it is not ideal nor is it fun.

Here are a few ideas that may help with an essential wedding planning detail, the wedding candle. A wedding candle is one of those small but gorgeous decorations which can make a reception table or the wedding chapel unique. Most brides want their decorations not only to fit the décor and theme they have established but they also want ideas that are somewhat out of the ordinary.

The reception dinner wedding candle can easily be made unique with a hand made candle centerpiece which resembles a wedding cake. An ivory or white tea candle (large in diameter but short) can serve as the base; a smaller tea candle (medium) atop the first makes the second layer of the wedding candle cake. Place a third and even smaller candle atop that and then decorate with small hobby store pearls and you have an adorable easy to make wedding candle centerpiece that is easy and inexpensive to make. Note: be sure and trim the wicks from base candles and flatten the top to make a secure base for the next layer.

Lovely and easy to make wedding candles might be made from a simple glass bowl barely bigger than a tea candle purchased from a hobby shop. The small bowl can be filled with water and 1.5 inch floating candle of any color placed in the bow. This makes a beautiful and sparkling wedding candle that is incidentally very affordable and requires almost no effort to make.

Crystal candle holders can transform even the simple taper candle into a unique wedding candle. This works particularly well when the wedding theme features traditional decorating themes. Themed candle holders can transform the simple white taper candle into a stunning wedding decoration.

With simple do it yourself wedding candles and decorations even the busy professional can have a stunning and affordable wedding.  Once the professional woman lays aside the US immigration forms, green card applications and green card renewal forms, shuts the office door and leaves, she can become the anxious bride with too much to do and too little time to do it. Small things like easily made wedding candles for decorations, a local caterer who knows their business, and sometimes a little help from friends can make this once in a lifetime event a lot easier planning. In today’s busy world a bride to be needs all the help she can get to make the best use of her time and the funds available
