Weddings...

Stefana (wedding crowns), candles, koufeta favors (boubounieres), flower girl wreaths, program booklets...

Stefana (wedding crowns) are symbols of the glory and honor that God bestows upon a couple during the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. The wedding crowns are joined by a ribbon which symbolizes the unity of the couple. 

Each pair of stefana from Originals by Stephanie requires hours of meticulous work to complete.  The stefana are joined by a generous 5- to 6- foot long ribbon so that the bride and groom can move easily on their Ceremonial Walk as a newly married couple.  Included with the set are two coordinating candles for the bride and groom.  Stefana sets are priced from $135 - $295, and are all one-of-a-kind! 

For example...

This pair of stefana features tiny crystallized buds that encircle the head.  Three miniature rhinestone-centered flowers add a hint of sparkle and complement ceramic flowers interspersed among the buds.     #S-125: $225, including 2 coordinating candles

Baptisms...

Baptismal candles, koufeta favors (boubounieres), martirika (witness pins and cards), program booklets...

The Baptismal candle symbolizes a child's attachment to Christ, the Light of the world, through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. 

Baptismal candles from Originals by Stephanie come in two lengths, both of which give ample burning time for the baptismal ceremony and for the subsequent visits to church for the baby's communion.  Candles in the 17-18 inch length are priced at $69; those in the 23-24 inch length are $89. 

For example...

The sumptuous 18" candle shown above has pink satin ribbon and bow, with pink rosebuds in the center. Pink tulle and narrow satin ribbon complete the decoration.   #C-46: $69

This large 24" baptismal candle features a wide white satin bow and blue tulle.  Small white flowers nestle in the center of the bow and are repeated at intervals on a textured pale blue satin ribbon. #C-40: $89
