Orthodox Wedding Candles
Beautiful handcrafted Orthodox wedding candles with personalised gold lettering for Greek, Serbian, and Macedonian Orthodox ceremonies in Australia.
The Tradition of Orthodox Wedding Candles
In Orthodox Christian wedding ceremonies, candles hold deep symbolic meaning. The wedding candles (lambades) represent the light of Christ illuminating the couple's new life together and their faith that will guide their marriage.
During the ceremony, the bride and groom hold their decorated wedding candles while the priest leads them in the Dance of Isaiah, circling the altar three times. These candles are cherished keepsakes that many couples light on their wedding anniversaries.

Orthodox Wedding Traditions
Greek Orthodox Wedding
The Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony, known as the Stefana, includes the crowning of the couple with wreaths joined by a ribbon, symbolising their union as one. The wedding candles are held throughout the ceremony and during the ceremonial walk.
Serbian Orthodox Wedding
In Serbian Orthodox tradition (Venčanje), the wedding candles play a central role alongside the wedding crowns. The ceremony emphasises the spiritual union of the couple before God and the community.
Macedonian Orthodox Wedding
Macedonian Orthodox weddings blend sacred traditions with rich cultural celebrations. The wedding candles are an essential element of the church ceremony, symbolising the couple's faith and their journey together.
