Losing a loved one is a traumatic experience but even when they are gone, it doesn’t mean the love for them is gone too. Though their actual presence would always be missed, especially on a special occasion like a wedding, their essence can be carried in subtle ways, honoring them beautifully.
For those who choose to have an “In loving memory” wedding, lighting a memorial candle is the simplest and the most beautiful idea. The couple could do it together or the entire family could come and light several remembrance candles at a spot. While this can be done with plain white candles, special memorial candles make it easier for those who arrive later. That is because the wedding would anyway be lit up with several beautiful candles. So, in case someone is not present as the special candles are lit, it would not be possible for them to tell apart the ordinary ones from those that are lit in the memory of lost people.
Memorial candles are usually available in glass tumblers, etched or printed with messages or names. These can also be customized at several wedding stores but the orders must be placed well in advance. These tumblers can also highlight the message more while lighting up the spot with small floating candles at the top.
