Personalized Unity Candles and Unity Tapers
New Introductions!
Thinkwedding.com is very
pleased to announce our new line of personalized unity candles,
unity tapers and memorial candles!
While I won't go into a
lot of boring details here, my vision included gold and silver
lettering with a reasonable selection of popular script fonts AT AN
AFFORDABLE PRICE. Those seemed to be the key words.
First, we had to
investigate the process. We are selling several unity candles
from wedding manufacturers with gold and silver lettering, so it had
to be possible--but how? Next, we had to find a machine that
would produce satisfactory gold and silver lettering in the size and
fonts we wanted to offer, and that took over two months. We
found a number of machines, but by the time we bought the fonts as
well, it wasn't financially feasible.
Then, had to find a
supplier of quality pillars of the standard unity candle size, which
is 3" in diameter and 9" tall, in both ivory and white at a price
that would let us offer these candles to our savvy customers
reasonably.
We noticed that there are
a few websites that offer personalized unity candles, and a few even
offer decorated tapers, but we felt that there were several things
that we could offer that they couldn't.
It seemed that none
offered gold or silver lettering that wasn't etched into the candle,
which put the price of the candle out of the means of quite a few of
us. Many times, the beautiful decorations extended so high on
the candle, that the minute you lit it, part of the design would be
lost. We also noticed that quite a few sites didn't offer the
standard unity candle size of 9" tall, and a few didn't offer
candles that were 3" in diameter, which meant that they wouldn't fit
into a standard unity candle holder.
In addition, none of the
candles we saw had the same kind of trim that was offered on
commercial candles, and we didn't notice (we're sure they're out
there, but we couldn't find them) any that offered personalized
matching tapers. We felt that it would be especially nice if
the mothers of the couple, or in the case of a second marriage, if
each person who was to participate in the lighting of the unity
candle have their own special taper with their names, or the name of
the families in the case of the mothers on a taper.
Of course, with enough
money, I image that anything could be created by hand, but we wanted
candles with gold or silver print, in a variety of popular script
fonts, available with or without some trim, in ivory or white, of a
standard size. We wanted the lettering and any trim to be at
least 1/2 way down on the candle so that there would be a minimum of
a 6 hour burn time without ruining the design, and we absolutely
demanded a dripless candle, so that the wax wouldn't run over the
design. We wanted matching tapers with gold or silver
lettering as well.
Oh, and the most
important thing. We wanted to be able to offer our candles at
a price that just about anyone could afford, and we wanted to be
able to deliver them in a reasonable amount of time. Those
turned out to be tall orders, but we think we have it at last!
So, introducing our new
line of personalized unity candles! These are only a few of
the candles that we plan to introduce within the next month.
