There are different options to having a unity candle. Some people choose to use sand, sometimes different colored sand, and together pour their individual sand into a single container. I have seen this done and it is a very nice alternative to having a candle, especially for an outdoor wedding where the wind may not choose to cooperate when attempting to light a candle. Since we are having our ceremony in a church we are going to use a candle.
I've decided to do my own unity candle since it really doesn't seem to difficult and then it can be designed any way we want. I'm not sure if we want to put just a single ribbon around the unity candle or if we would also like to 'engrave' our names and date into the candle as well or if we should maybe do something a little more fancy with crystals.
