Ah, this wedding!The grandeur of this event is equal to the amount of time and effort it takes to prepare. By the way, today more and more often people resort to the services of professional wedding planners. However, many deliberately leave the most pleasant chores to themselves: choosing and buying outfits for the bride and groom, as well as purchasing or even making wedding accessories. And if you consider yourself a fan or master of hand-made, then the opportunity to independently make cute and iconic little things that no wedding can do without will definitely interest you. For example, how to make wedding candles with your own hands? It turns out it's not that difficult! Let's try?

Candle with live roses

Charming, touching and tender candleseasy to make, decorating them with any fresh flowers. But since roses are traditionally considered wedding flowers, we will also decorate the candles with them. So, for such a floral composition we will need:

• roses and buds (possible with short and even very short stems);
• floristic sponge (foam, oasis);
• floristic hairpins of pearly, white or pink color;
• high candles (round or conical).

The floral foam will be the basis of thiswedding composition. In fact, we can’t do without it, without roses and candles themselves, but you can try replacing the pins with wire. But it’s better (more reliable and convenient) to use pins. So, choose suitable candles and soak the sponge. At this time, carefully cut the stems of the roses to a height of about ten centimeters. To keep the flowers fresh longer, make the cuts at an angle, dipping them in water and using a sharp knife. When the sponge is saturated with moisture, insert the roses into it. First, place the large flowers, and then fill the spaces between them with buds. Now all that’s left is to attach the sponge to the candles with pins. That’s all. Roses don’t need additional decoration – they don’t need it.

Candles with fathin

A modest, but elegant and even sophisticated decoration for wedding candles will be ordinary tulle and satin ribbons. For such candles, prepare:

• two round, tall white candles (about fifteen centimeters high and about six centimeters in diameter);
• satin ribbons two centimeters wide (pink, coral or red);
• tatin;
• a needle and white thread;
• a lighter;
• glue gun.

To decorate the candles, cut them from the ribbons.a piece, the length of which will be slightly longer than the circumference of the candle. Apply glue to the two long sides of the ribbon and attach the ribbon, wrapping it around the candle slightly below the middle of the entire height. Now we need to make rosettes from tulle. To do this, cut off strips of tulle twenty centimeters long and two centimeters wide. Stitch along one long edge and pull the thread, gathering the tulle into folds. The result will be a round, fluffy rosette. Fasten the thread and cut it. Cut off twelve centimeters of satin ribbon again and make a bow out of it, burning the ends with a lighter so that the ribbon does not unravel. Apply glue to the middle of the rosette and fix the bow. And then glue the finished bow on the rosette to the candle in the place where the ends of the ribbon wrapped around the candle meet. In this way, we decorate the second candle - our wedding candles are ready!

Candles with lace

Another laconic option for decorating wedding candles. For them we will need:

• two candles of the same diameter and different heights (for example, six and nine, six and twelve centimeters);
• four satin ribbons: two colors and different widths (two centimeters and five millimeters of each color) of fifty centimeters;
• White lace with one straight and one shaped edge and a repeating pattern;
• white thread;
• sewing needle and scissors;
• double sided tape,
• pearl beads;
• pendants-pendants in the form of hearts.

Let's start with the fact that you can use pendantsuse ready-made pendants or keychains for a mobile phone, or you can weave hearts from beads or cut them out of felt. And now the decorating process itself. First, cut off two pieces of lace and a wide ribbon twenty centimeters long. Singe the edges of the ribbons (cuts) or fix them with colorless nail polish so that they do not crumble. Sew a pearl bead to the front side of the lace in the center of each repeating pattern. Next, glue a narrow strip of tape to the ends of each piece of lace and ribbons on the back side. Now everything is simple: fold one piece of lace with one ribbon with the back sides together, remove the protective paper from the tape and glue both pieces together. You will get a decorative ribbon made of lace on one side and satin on the other. We also make a ribbon for the second candle. Using tape, attach these strips to the candles, wrapping them just above the middle of the candle. We make bows from narrow ribbons, threading the central loops-knots into the pendants. Using scotch tape, we attach the bows directly to the decorative strip or slightly above (below) it.

Candles in the Baroque style

A very simple way to decorate candles and a stunningly effective result! For such candles we will need:

• six roses from satin ribbons;
• sewing pins with white pearly heads;
• long white candles;
• beads in the tone of roses;
• white beads-pearls (larger than pinheads);
• glue gun.

Roses and pins can be purchased at anysewing accessories store. We will need medium-sized roses (about three centimeters in diameter) and some soft warm shade: pink, coral, salmon or even white. So, we shorten all the pins by half. Now we attach three roses to the candles, placing them in the middle of the candles in a checkerboard pattern: one in the center, the second five centimeters lower and slightly to the left, and the third five centimeters higher to the right of the first. We attach the roses by piercing them through with pins and carefully sticking the pins into the candles. To prevent the candle from bursting, you can heat the pins a little with a lighter. Now we stick the pins into the candle, placing them in the form of a Latin "S" along the height of the candle. This pattern should be only slightly larger than the gap occupied by the roses and not necessarily very even, but quite neat. Now, using glue, attach beads and seed beads to the candle, filling the spaces between the roses but preserving the outline of the pattern. And to complete the picture, the upper bend of our "S" can be slightly pulled upward, and at the bottom, complemented with an organza bow and a tulle rosette. In short, here you should be guided only by your own taste. So, using the simplest materials and applying our skillful hands to ordinary candles, we turned prosaic candles into an elegant wedding accessory. Agree that it is really very easy to do! A little imagination, a little patience and effort - and you will succeed. Good luck! We recommend reading:
