How To Make Your Big Day Special With Wedding Luminary Bags

By Stephen Kennedy


If you are getting married you likely want your wedding to look as beautiful and special as possible. One way to do this is to use wedding luminary bags. Here are some ways that you can incorporate these items into your wedding or reception and how to find the ones that are right for your needs.

If you have attended special events or celebrations you may have seen them decorated with what look like glowing bags. These are luminaria. Inside is a candle that has been anchored with sand or another type of weight. When the candle burns, the light it sends out will create a fair amount of light inside the bag. This beams forth and can create a stunning focal point for someone to look at.

Ceremonies are not the only place that these items can be used. They can also be used to decorate a reception venue as well. If you know that one area will be more dimly lit than another, this may be a better place for you to position your candles. This is because the light they send out may be lost if the lighting is very bright.

Decorating your aisle can be a fantastic use for these items. If your ceremony is taking place outdoors as the sun is setting, the glow that luminaria give can create a beautiful ambiance that your guests will find memorable. If you are concerned about fire hazards, you can always rope off the aisle with tulle or ribbons so that guests are forced to enter from the other end of the rows. You can also substitute LED lights for traditional candles and get a similar look.

You can also use them to decorate the area where you will be saying your vows. You may want to place them around the altar or if you are using a chuppah, arch or canopy you may want to add them around the base of these structures to draw attention to them and give them an added touch of visual interest. The table where you are signing the license or register could also benefit from decorating with these items.

Receptions can also be a place where luminaria have a huge visual impact as well. Tables can look gorgeous if these items are grouped in the middle as a centerpiece. They can also be used to mark the edges of a dance floor, a path leading from the ceremony to the reception or to mark areas that are important to the festivities.

You may want to consider decorating the bag that the candle will sit in. You may want to stick with a plain white bag or decorate it so that it matches your wedding colors. You can also work patterns or images into the bags as well so that they cast beautiful shadows on the walls surrounding the luminaria themselves.

There are many online retailers that offer these items for sale. If you want custom options you may have to search a little further in order to find one that has the style you are looking for. Just make sure to take into account shipping and design costs when you decide whether or not they will work with the budget you have set for decorations.
