Flowers Arranged Like Cakes

Congratulations, you're planning your wedding day! Now it's time to come up with some affordable, make-ahead wedding decorations and favors to create a romantic atmosphere on your big day. Candles are always a wonderfully romantic addition to any wedding d cor that help set the mood for romance. You'll want your wedding and reception tables to sparkle and look their best, so here are some beautiful (and affordable) accent ideas using candles:

Personalized votives. Votive holders come in every size, shape, color and finish to match any wedding theme. From clear crystal votives to bright colored ones and metallic finishes, the possibilities are endless when it comes to using votives as accents or wedding favors on tables. The best part about votives is that you can print or etch special personalized messages on them that include your names and date of your wedding day, any sayings or poems that you want to include or even a mini photo of the bride and groom. Votives can be used for years to come by family members or whenever you want to remember this special day with your spouse to be, such as anniversary parties or special dates.

Gel candles. If you want to have a more modern look to your candle accents, then include gel candles into your wedding d cor. These candles usually come in neutral glass votives and may be clear or be in special colors. Some even have silk flowers, seashells or other small items inside to match the theme of your wedding. Gel candles give off a much better scent than wax candles. And they look stunning when lit up in your wedding or at the reception hall. Gel votives are nice to give away as favors too.

Heart shaped candles. A wedding is about the joining of two hearts, so why not use heart shaped candles in your wedding d cor? You can set them on individual votives or candle plates. For an even more stunning look, try grouping several heart candles in a deep rich red on mirrors on the centers of the tables as a focal point for guest to enjoy.

Floating candles. These are wonderful to use in just about any wedding theme. The great thing about floating candles, besides being available in every shape, color and scent imaginable, is that you can use them without worrying about starting a fire. Place floating candles in bowls, buckets or pails and set on and around tables for fun accents. Great for a casual or elegant wedding theme.

Sand candles. Remember when you were a child and you spent hours playing in the sand and building sandcastles at the beach? Well, you can bring some of those happy memories to your wedding d cor by using sand candles in your d cor. These are wonderful for a tropical or beach wedding of course, but don't forget that they also look wonderful with a Moroccan or other exotic themed wedding as well. Sand candles burn longer and they make wonderful wedding favors for your guests to take home.

Candle favors are easy and fun to create. Your guests will be amazed at your creativity.
