Your wedding day, one of the most important days in any couples' life together is a time for romance, tradition and sharing your love with the people who mean the most to you – your family and friends. Once you've selected the theme of your wedding, the colors and the date, it's time to start picking out the little touches that will make your wedding stand out and be remembered for all time. You can do this by adding the warm ambience of candles to your wedding décor that also double as wedding favors for guests to enjoy.

Personalized votives. Personalized wedding décor has always been a traditional way for the bride and groom to make their wedding day special. This can be done by monogramming the bride and groom's initials on everything from wedding stationary to candle votives. For an even nicer touch, try adding some meaningful graphics such as double hearts, rings or doves to these items as well.

Gel candles. These sparkling gems are ultra glamorous in wedding décor. Place highly scented gel candles into clear or frosted glass votives to get the best effect. When lit, gel candles give off a lovely scent and they glow with a light that is unsurpassed by any other type of candle. And they last a long time, long enough that guests will be able to take them home as favors after the wedding and enjoy them later on for months. Every time they light the gel candles from your wedding, they will think of your special day.

Heart shaped candles. If you are planning a wedding that is romantic, you may want to use many heart themed items in your décor. You can get heart shaped candles and votives in all different colors and sizes. Try placing a handful into a bowl filled with clear glass gems and lighting just a few at a time. Or wrap richly scented heart candles in small organza bags and give them to guests as they enter your wedding reception. Then guests can take home the unlit candles for later on to celebrate their own romantic dates.

Floating candle tea lights. One of the best ways to use hearts in your wedding theme is by floating special heart shaped tea lights in bowls or vases filled with colored water. This is a lovely and inexpensive way to create interesting centerpieces and lots of candlelight without the worry of starting a fire.

Sand candles. Think back to those happy childhood memories and you will most likely think of playing at the beach or spending family vacations along the seashore. If you are like many couples, you will be planning a romantic honeymoon at a beach destination so why not allow your wedding guests to enjoy some of that by giving out little sand castle candle favors? It's a nice way to thank them for coming to share in your wedding day and to let them know you will be thinking of them as you embark on a new journey as a couple.

Planning a romantic wedding is as simple as thinking of all those special little touches that you want your guests to remember. By using candles as part of your décor and wedding favors, you will share the love and warmth of your special day that guests will remember always.
