Elements of a Unity Ceremony

Candles have been used for centuries to bring light into ceremonies, memorials, prayer, and intentions.

Whether you're at the newest venue with your friends, in a church with your friends and family, 

or on a romantic elopement with just you and your candles, 

there are many ways to incorporate a Unity Ceremony into your wedding.  

Mix & Match to include everyone, or keep it simple.

Center Candle

Center Candle

Center Candle

The centerpiece of the Unity Ceremony, this is the candle lit last, between the bride & groom to signify two becoming one. 

This candle can be lit every anniversary, as the flame will "tunnel" down the center and make the candle light up and glow through the carvings.

Returning Spring 2025

Our outer wax glaze (that makes the candles shiny) 

cracks in winter/cold conditions, so we'll be up and running again as soon as the snow melts in Montana

and we can safely ship all your beautiful candles!

Thank you for your understanding.
