You might even consider holders engraved with hearts for a romantic and sweet reminder of your special day.

4. For a garden wedding, buy hanging glass lanterns and string them all around or on one tree with many branches, and give one to each guest as they leave. Or, buy little wrought-iron tealight holders for each place setting for adorable atmosphere-builders that double as favors.

5. Package it: A poured, scented candle in a box or glass container, or a candle of your choice in a gift bag with tulle or tissue can be a nice and unique favor.

6. Pairs: wrap with tulle or ribbon and your wedding tag, and possibly include a set of in candlesticks. As always, the more classic the style the more likely your guests will find the favor useful in their own homes.

7. Sets: Try 3 candles of different heights or colors on a little tray. Add river rocks, confetti or colored marbles to personalize your gift.

8. Match the candles to the wedding theme: For a garden wedding, try candles in many shades of green. For a tropical wedding, perhaps candles in many tropical colors will add flair and style.

A trip to your local home décor store will help you with more ideas and they may even assist you by offering bulk discounts on candles and holders. ASK clearly for what you want (it’s one of the best skills you can take into your new marriage as well, along with listening). Enjoy!
