Wedding Tip: #5

Let's talk candles.  If you're including them in some way you'll want to keep a few items in mind.

Since they are part of your day, your photographer will want to incorporate them in any photographs done before the ceremony.  Since they were used for the photographs, it's always a good idea to have replacements so you can swap them out before the ceremony.

Some candles are a form of one-time-light.  They are supposed to light really well the first time and then not as well going forward.  This can be bad so be aware.

Lastly, if you are thinking about candles outside, make sure they are covered.  Sure, there's safety to consider, but it's also about keeping them lighted.  It's hard enough getting them to light and keeping an open candle lighted is next to impossible.
