Here’s the Hire by HoF guide to why candles are so essential for your wedding ceremony and why hiring special candle accessories makes for such a successful day.
Why candles are a must-have item at weddings
If you’ve been to a few weddings, you’ve already noticed how commonplace candles are. More than just functional sources of light, candles and candle holders have all kinds of benefits for weddings. Some of the biggest include:
Creating the perfect atmosphere
Candles have a warm, soft glow that perfectly sets the mood for romance. Candlelight immediately makes a space more intimate and welcoming. Candlelight’s glow is also far gentler than overhead lighting too, better preserving your memories and making your day look marvellous in photos.
Timelessness
Interior design trends may come and go, but candles are timeless. No matter the mood of your wedding – modern, vintage, rustic – candles never go out of style and (if you have a keen eye for aesthetics) rarely look out of place.
Versatility
Just like they transcend time, candles can integrate into just about any kind of venue. Whether you plan to keep your wedding low-key and minimal or make it a grand and extravagant affair, the sheer vast range of candles available gives you the power to achieve the right look.
How to decorate with candles on your wedding day
Decorating with candles is easy to do. Here are some tips to get you started:
Mix and match styles
It’s common to have candles arranged on the table in a centrepiece-style design, but mixing and matching sizes and styles a little makes your arrangement look more unique and visually interesting.
Use lanterns
Lanterns are an excellent outdoor decoration if you want to give your wedding a fairytale feel, and tealight candles fit right inside them.
Decorate the aisle
One of the most memorable moments of any wedding is when the happy couple take a walk down the aisle. To add a little extra magic to the moment, line the aisle with tall candles in glass holders.
Decorate a mantel
A fireplace or mantel is the perfect location to arrange an eye-catching display of different types of candles.
The benefits of hiring candles and candle accessories
The perks of including candles in your wedding decoration hire include:
Saving time
There’s a lot that goes into planning a wedding, including sourcing your wedding decoration hire from what will probably turn out to be a range of different suppliers. Candle hire lightens both your workload and your mental load as the candles arrive for you in pristine condition.
Saving money
Maybe you have expensive taste, or you want nothing less than the best for your special day. No problem! Hiring lets you potentially access a more upmarket range of candles and candle accessories that you may not have the budget to buy outright.
No storage issues
It’s one of the conundrums of buying candles or candle accessories for your event: they’re too nice to throw away, but you have nowhere to store them. When you choose the option to hire, there’s no problem. Just return the goods when you’re done.
Endless variety
No matter what kind of look you’re going for, candle hire helps you achieve it without the commitment of purchasing your candles and with access to a variety of different styles.
