I think you mean Unity Wedding Candles The unity candle ceremony represents the union of the two families. The bride and groom light the individual tapers and bring the two flames together to light the larger column. It is a great idea to have your mothers or fathers light one to join them as well. Here is a great article on the Unity candle ceremony.
Actually, I found out that the candelabras is used to inform the guests that the ceremony has begun. The ushers/groomsmen light the candle. It has like 10-12 candles.
Oh! In more formal church settings (i.e. Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist, etc.) candles in large scalle can only be used certain times of year. They certainly may be used to light up a reception area any time of year. Ask your officiant before deciding on a candlit ceremony.
What is the meaning behind "candelabras"? Should I have one?
