WHere did you buy your unity candle?

Specifically if you got one with using your invitation on it or personalized wording? TIA.

this probably isn't helpful, but we didn't buy ours. My mom's cousin is a Catholic Bishop, so he was our officiant. He requested that we not buy a unity candle because he had one that he wanted to give to us to use.

Re: WHere did you buy your unity candle?

I bought plain white candles (a pillar and two tapers) and white ribbon and little white ribbon roses. I'd seen a set of candles in Michaels that was very simple, plain white candles with a wide (prob. 1 inch) ribbon tied into a simple bow. It was about $30. I made something almost exactly the same but added the little ribbon roses in the middle. I probably spent about $10. Some of these wedding things are a rip-off. Even if you are not crafty, you can do something simple and beautiful.

Here it is. I think I tweaked the flowers a little so they stood out more.
