If you want to add something unique and stunning to your wedding, try adding scented candles. If you are planning your big day, you definitely want to add candles to your service and reception. Candles create a great backdrop for pictures and will also be very flattering to your face, making you look your very best. However, when you add scent as well as wedding candles to your big day, you create something magnificent. Consider these terrific ideas:
*Try giving away scented candles as part of little baskets to your wedding party. For bridesmaids, tuck scented candles along with face masks and other soothing essentials into a pretty basket. Your wedding party can relax after the hectic day is over. You can also give away luxury scented candles on their own. Some of the luxury candle products out there come in gorgeous packaging already, so you don't have to spend precious minutes wrapping each gift. As an added benefit, each time your friends light the candle, they will remember you and your big day.
*When getting changed for the wedding and having your makeup done, light some soothing scented candles around the room. Whether you are in a salon, spa, your home, or in a church changing room, you can create a little haven while you are getting ready. Opt for soothing scents that are known to relax – scents such as lavender or rosemary – or just light your favorite fragrances. The instant aromatherapy will melt away stress and anxiety.
*Tuck some scented candles into your luggage when packing for the honeymoon. Candles are perfect for evenings in the hot tub and will instantly transform honeymoon suites into more cozy environments. They are the perfect way to set the mood.
*Have bridesmaids carry lighted scented candles instead of flowers down the aisle. This is a nice effect for an evening wedding or in case you find the cost of flowers too huge. Plus, with scented candles, you can create a wonderful scented "bouquet" by giving each bridesmaid a different scent.
*At the dinner or reception, cluster small scented candles together on each table so that guests can dine by candlelight.
*Consider scented candles for wedding presents. Whether you want to say thank-you to wedding guests or want to present a great gift when you yourself are a guest at a wedding.
*Why not indulge with scented candles and a relaxing bath the day before the big day? The wedding day can be hectic and stressful, and a little aromatherapy and time alone can help ease jitters. Use aromatherapy candles and be sure to shut the door and put on some relaxing music. You will look much better on your big day if you take good care of yourself and take steps to reduce stress.
* Why not plan a special date before the wedding? Couples about to be married, ironically, tend not to see each other in the days leading up to the big event. Take some time out of the busy planning to spend time together. Set up a romantic candle-lit dinner at home or pack a midnight candlelit picnic for two. The point is, spend some time together for a final time as an unmarried couple and catch up on what has been happening in each other's lives.
