Candles

Candles are a nice way to illuminate a room and add a glow to the decor. Candles look beautiful in entrances, on tables and as centerpieces. At an evening event, candles really add a special ambiance to the room. There are many different options when it comes to decorating an event with candles. Most candles cannot be displayed with an open-flame because of the fire regulations in most venues but even so, many decorative things can be done with candles. There are tea lights, votives, tapers and pillars and some candle makers can even custom design candles. Any fragrance can be added into a candle for aroma, however it might be better to use unscented candles as you are not aware of your guests' sensitivity to smell. If you are using candles on tables then you need to make sure that the candles aren't overwhelming in stature, so tea lights or votives might be a better option for table decoration. Candles are often used at weddings, outdoor events, cocktail parties and sit down dinners but can be used at any event. For a picnic, you should try to look for candles that deter insects to keep your guests comfortable. There are also many different way to display candles- the options at an event other than your home are a little more limited yet still beautiful. There are hurricane, pillar, votive and tea light holders but be sure to make sure that you check the fire regulations before committing to a particular style.
