If you have the time, I would make one. It's MUCH cheaper, IMO. I got a $3 candle at Walmart, some ribbons, and some pretty stick on flowers - maybe another $3 - $4 dollars. I cut an extra invitation into an oval shape, and pinned it with pins to the candle (pins had white, pearl looking heads). Then, pinned lace around the oval, stuck some flowers around at even points on the edges and voila -unity candle. I also bought two white tapers ($3), a string of pearls and some little white flowers ($4) and decorated the tapers. My mom, who is very honest in her opinions about my wedding stuff, genuinely liked them and said I did a good job. If you're crafty - you may want to try it.
