Candle Wedding Centerpieces
Centerpieces set the scene for weddings and candle wedding centerpieces are especially beautiful. The low light from candles adds an air of romance. There are hundreds of ways to arrange candle centerpieces to match any specific wedding theme. Tall tapers, small votives, pillars, tealights, and floating candles all have places at different weddings. It’s difficult to find a more versatile decoration for a wedding.
Small glass jars with floating candles can be decorated with colorful ribbons. Lengthy hurricane vases filled with water can hold flowers or other theme-oriented items below the water level. Wide bowls accommodate a couple floating candles.
Votive candles work well in small holders, which can be matched to holidays or themes. They can then be surrounded by another decoration, such as slices of wood or candy. Votives burn well over several hours and are contained by the holders.
Tapers in candlesticks provide a different look but may drip wax if left burning too long. Keep it quarantined with tall hurricane vases. Anything that is high may block the view, but it will be less than arranged flowers.
Pillars are easily surrounded by decorations or set in combination in the middle of the table. A stand or wide plate makes a nice base to tie into the wedding colors. Pillars are a long-lasting choice that burns well over time.
Tealights as candle centerpieces are easily shown off in small holders and even when combined take very little space on the table. They work well in groups, but they do not last as long as other candle choices.
Candles or holders work well placed on mirrors. The reflection adds to the ambiance of the occasion. The candle holders can also be personalized with the names of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding.
For many candle wedding centerpieces, the candles are traditionally white, but they can also be colored to match the wedding theme. Give guests a fun favor to remember the wedding and let them take the centerpieces home; it can be marked with tape underneath a chair for a lucky guest. Another fun treat for guests is to sprinkle candy around the center of the table like individually wrapped chocolates or candy corn.
