Wedding season is rapidly approaching. Data collected by Statista recorded over 220,000 wedding in 2023*, with the majority within months June to September. So there is no doubt that many couples are preparing for their upcoming weddings this spring and summer.
For those just beginning the process, mood boards are your best friend. Finding inspiration that brings your imagination to life makes it feel all that more achievable. More times than not couples will find themselves preferring a certain theme for their wedding, with so many we will look into our main four crowd pleasers and of course the candles tailored to them.
Rustic Romance
A crowd pleaser and one of our favourites, rustic romance is for the couples looking for a naturally effortless feel to their wedding. Often suited to outdoor venues it makes the most of things as they come, hassle-free décor that doesn't feel overly primmed. With soft colours, wild flowers and personal touches bringing the sense of home into the day.

Rustic romance is a naturally elevated theme, creating ease for the simple things. Less is more, we advice dinner candles for the centre pieces of your reception tables. Elevating your "how much?!" flowers, providing them with stage lighting they deserve at a fraction of the cost.
Whimsical
With so many modern brides having grown up with fairy tale films, capturing a magical feel to weddings, there is a high demand for whimsical weddings that play with nostalgia.
Candle pairing
Achieving a magical feel to your wedding calls for playful decorations, incorporating draping flowers and twinkling lights. Floating candles are the perfect addition for your wedding reception, as the sun goes down and the vase seamlessly disappears the candles appear to be floating as if by magic. Pillars are ideal for every weddings aisle, a combination of sizes creates a calming flow.
Minimalist
Growing in popularity this wedding theme brings things back to the basics, with many people going against the social norm of their big day not being so extravagant. Focusing on intimacy with less guests, less planning and more fun.
Candle pairing
This theme is often given minimal planning, with the couple themselves planning the logistics. While labelled as minimalist a pretty floral display and well lit table can transfer a simple space into a wedding ready venue. We suggest dinner candles to bring depth to a simply laid table or pillar for couples looking for a little more drama.
Contemporary
Playing with a more neutral colour pallet, the contemporary theme is up for interpretation. However, it is often achieved through a simpler colour scheme, focusing on simply sharp décor. Crisp white table cloths, concealed flower arrangements and a undeniable well orchestrated feel to the day.
Candle pairing
Contemporary weddings require a simple candle that can fit onto the table without standing out, a tea light offers just that. They silently bring a glow to the table with no expectations of credit.
