Unity candle - a simple DIY wedding projectFiled under: Do-It-Yourself, CeremoniesStandard unity candles, which are often little more than just a plain white pillar, usually sell for $30 or more.

These candles are usually one larger pillar candle on a base and two smaller taper candles in candle ...

Carolyn Scott Photography The unity ceremony is traditionally a symbolic joining of two separate lives into one....
