Choosing Music for the Unity Candle

The unity candle is another powerful symbol of the couple becoming 'one".

Over half of the weddings use this tradition. The outer candles of the unity candle are often lit by the mothers just before they are seated at the beginning of the ceremony. While the bridal couple lights the center candle and blows out the outer candles, instrumental or vocal music can take place. If you would like something very short that just takes the time of lighting the candle, then it would be best to choose instrumental music since they can just play an excerpt of a piece. You can also use it as another opportunity for a vocal selection or a full-length instrumental piece. Check out myperfectweddingmusic.com for a great selection of pieces to used during the lighting of the unity candle!
