Unity Candle

For our wedding ceremony, we want it short and sweet. No hour and a half ceremony for Daniel and I!! :-) Short and sweet, aaaaaannnd to the point. Although, I really want to do the unity candle-I really like the symbolism of that. Daniel agreed, so we are going to add that during the ceremony.

I checked out Michaels and Joann's Fabric, and didn't like any of their unity candles (a bit on the cheesy and expensive side), so I thought, I am craftyand I can make my own so it will be personalized and even more special. A few ideas were floating around in my coconut-but nothing too special. When I went to the David's Bridal website for the picture frame (see below post), I saw these uninty candles and thought-that is it! I can do that, maybe not exactly, but close and for a heck of a lot cheaper! So, below is the finished product. The cool thing is the jeweled center piece will be the exact same on the cake too, so they will match! Not that anyone else will notice, but it is nice when a craft project works out so completely!
