Candles are used by the wedding couple light one larger, center candle. It’s a beautiful ceremony, symbolizing the union of the two. individuals as one, and while some ceremonies seem to have religious overtones, this ceremony definitely does not have to include any religious significance at all.
Many bridal accessory stores and religious articles shops carry unity candle set ups,
plus many different color sand and bottles,

If you are going to get married in a church or a hotel the candle ceremony may be a choice for you. In Hawaii we have many craft stores all over the islands and you may just want to pick up your supplies while you are here. You will find them in silver or gold tone and many of them in glass or crystal. The center candle can be just a simple pillar style candle, or you can find one that has a prayer or poem imprinted on the side. Many stores now also allow you to personalize the candles with the names of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding. This gives the candle a personal touch and makes it a very nice wedding keepsake.
There are several ways to do the candle ceremony in hawaii. The two taper candles could already be lit, and the couple just uses those lit candles to light the center one. Another option is to have the parents of the bride light one taper, while the parents of the groom light the other, which is a lovely way to symbolize the light of the bride and groom commencing from their parents. This could also be done with just the mothers or just the fathers if both parents are not available on both sides.
Another less traditional lighting of the unity candle is where each guest is given a small candle at the start of the wedding. Once the vows have been exchanged, an usher goes back to the back of the congregation and lights one of the candles. Each guest in turn lights the candle of the guest next to them, until the light is at all the way at the parents. They then light the taper candles from where the bride and groom will take the flame to light the center Unity candle. What a beautiful way to include your guests and show how important all of them have been in helping you begin your lives together as one!
