For weddings with a point of view
We design how celebrations feel.
A wedding does not need more decor for the room to feel complete. It needs a visual layer that helps every part of the day belong together. Candlelit creates wedding candlelight design for couples and planners who want the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and focal moments to feel connected by one warm, intentional atmosphere.
We begin with the way the celebration unfolds. An aisle may need a quiet frame for the ceremony. A sweetheart table may call for a more intimate glow. Long tables can hold a layered composition that makes conversation and dinner feel more generous. At the reception, candlelight can continue through bars, lounges, staircases, pathways, and the small moments guests discover as the evening moves on.
One cohesive atmosphere
Designed for the moments guests remember.
- Wedding aisle candles that shape the walk toward the ceremony without distracting from it.
- Sweetheart table candlelight that creates an intimate focal point for the couple.
- Long table candlelight with height, rhythm, and warmth across the dining experience.
- Reception candlelight for arrivals, bars, lounges, guestbook tables, and feature areas.
Every composition is designed in relation to the venue, the table shape, floral direction, room scale, and the overall feeling the couple wants guests to carry home. White and ivory pearled wax are standard, with premium color options available to suit the design of the celebration. We work in glass cylinders, long-stemmed tapers, votives, tealights, floating candles, and select glass, vintage brass, or silver candlesticks.
Candlelit is not a drop-off rental. Our full-service work includes creative direction, delivery, setup, styling, candle management when appropriate, venue coordination, and removal after the event. This gives couples and planners a beautifully cohesive candlelight layer without having to coordinate dozens of individual details. Full-service installations begin at $1,500.
