How are you planning to ask your friends to be bridesmaids? When I did it, it was way too simple. I just asked. That’s it. There was no grand gesture, no special proposal box with her name on it – just a quick phone call. But today, the tradition of asking friends to be bridesmaids is an event in itself! And what makes it extra special is choosing the right bridesmaids – and the perfect gift. You want to choose bridal party attendants who will make the wedding planning experience as wonderful as possible. And in return, you want to give them a gift that shows your appreciation while asking them to be a part of it.
The most popular ideas we’re seeing on social media include these bridesmaid proposal candles by Aria Bella Candles, a star seller on ETSY. Her unique line of candles add a personal touch to the proposal and make an excellent gift.
Let’s talk about the scents, designs, and personalization options available that make these candles a top-seller. Let’s get started!
Why Bridesmaid Proposal Candles?
What makes a candle such a great gift? In terms of symbolism, a candle represents joy, warmth, and light. When you think of it, these are the traits your best friends bring to your life, and what you hope for your upcoming marriage. In addition, you’re not giving just any candle. These hand-poured candles are custom-made for your bridesmaids with terrific scents, multiple design options, and personalization by the lovely Arianna of Aria Bella Candles. Her reviews speak for themselves! 🙌
When you give a candle, you’re also offering a practical gift they’ll use and enjoy. There’s nothing I like more than a cozy evening in reading a book with a candle, so consider it the gift of relaxation or that “spa” moment that none of us take very often! :) And who doesn’t love to light a candle at night when they unwind? I know I do.
With all of these reasons – and I’m sure I could come up with more – bridesmaid proposal candles are a unique and memorable way to ask your friends to be a part of your special day.
How To Choose the Perfect Bridesmaid Proposal Candle
When choosing the candles for your crew, decide what size and style you’d like to give.
Styles
Do you want to outline her upcoming bridesmaid duties or Maid of Honor roles? If so, opt for the definition candle series.
My favorite is “train-fixer”. :)
Does she travel often? If so, give her a travel-sized tin she can pack in her favorite luggage for her next adventure. Choose sayings like, “I Can’t Say I Do Without You”, “There’s No Party Like a Bridesmaid Party”, or my favorite, “Welcome to Your Bridesmaid Era”. :)
And this hot item: “This Wedding Is Going to Be Lit”. Love it!
If she’s more of a homebody (hey, nothing wrong with that!), give her a large 20.5oz glass candle like any of these. This large size has an estimated burn time of 55 hours – that’s a lot of book reading time!
Scents
For fragrance, these candles boast a perfectly appropriate scent named “Wedding Cake”. It is a sweet medley of buttercream, icing, vanilla, cake, and sugar. Sounds delightful! (For more scents, see this page.)
Creative Ways to Present Bridesmaid Proposal Candles
When you’re giving the candle as a gift, it is pretty enough to give as-is. But if wish to dress it up, you can place it inside a personalized gift box like this, add a heartfelt card. (PRO TIP: These cards are all the rage.)
Or include a photo of the two of you together to make it extra special.
Be sure to include a sentimental note about how much they mean to you and how you’d like them to be a part of your wedding celebration.

See? Popping the question will be a piece of cake. How I wish I knew of these beautiful candles when I tied the knot.
