If you are having a traditional wedding, you are going to need some traditional wedding bridal accessories. Because a traditional wedding takes place in a church or some other area that is used for traditional wedding ceremonies, you will need some thing other than what you need if you were having a themed or outside wedding.

These are normally white candles attached to the pews in the church. Many churches have these accessories already and do supply them if you desire them for you traditional wedding.
