How Candle Making Can Add A Unique Touch To Your Bridal Shower
Wedding bells are chiming, and love is in the air. There is no better way to celebrate your upcoming wedding than with a memorable bridal shower.
There are plenty of ways to celebrate. But if you’re opting for a personalized experience, consider letting your guests create personalized candles that match the event’s theme.
If you’re still unsure, here’s how candle-making can elevate your bridal shower.
It’s A Perfect Interactive Art For Letting A Bridal Party Have Fun and Express Themselves Together
Candle-making gives guests a hands-on activity, encouraging them to really engage and interact with each other. It “breaks the ice” and creates a collaborative atmosphere. This makes the bridal shower more enjoyable and memorable.
If you’ve never created a candle before, don’t worry. Most candle-making businesses offer guided sessions where a professional walks participants through the process step-by-step. This helps make sure that even those who are new to candle-making will go home bearing a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
It’s Tailored To Your Tastes
Like perfume, making a candle gives you plenty of opportunities to customize your creation to your preferences. In many cases, guests can choose their own colors, designs, and scents for the candle. This gives your guests a truly personal keepsake.
Moreover, you can tie your candle-making activity into the theme of your bridal shower through custom scents. Here are some creative candle scent ideas for common bridal shower themes:
Garden Party
- English Pear & Freesia: These scents have that flowery freshness in blooming gardens, making it perfect if your bridal shower is held outdoors.
- Lavender & Sage: If you’re a fan of calming scents, lavender and sage is a good combination to consider.
Beach or Seaside
- Sea Breeze: This scent is perfect for embodying the smell of the ocean; it’s slightly salty with a hint of “fresh air.”
- Coconut & Lime: For a more tropical smell, try combining coconut and lime.
Countryside or Rustic
- Cedarwood & Vanilla: If you’re looking for a warm and comforting scent with woody tones, cedarwood and vanilla are the combination to go.
- Apple Cinnamon: Is your bridal shower happening in the fall? Apple cinnamon is great for invoking that cozy feeling of a country kitchen.
Modern or Minimalist
- Lime Basil & Mandarin Orange: This combination produces a fresh, modern scent that adds a sense of sophistication to any contemporary setting.
- Eucalyptus & Mint: If you want a candle that smells “clean,” we recommend eucalyptus and mint.
It’s Aesthetically Pleasing And Calming
Lastly, candle-making activities allow you and your guests to create decorations that can be used to add ambiance to the event. The candles you make can also be displayed on the tables or around the venue of your wedding.
Furthermore, candles can easily set the atmosphere in the venue. For instance, coffee-scented candles can create a warm and inviting atmosphere that promotes a sense of calmness. On the other hand, a rose-scented candle brings feminine and romantic energy to a room, making it perfect if your bridal shower or wedding is held in an intimate setting.
