Unique Votive Candle Groupings

Posted by tobeyanne @ 4:56 AM, Saturday Dec 8th, 2007

Have you ever wondered what to do with your votive candle?  Where to place it?  How to make a stunning center piece using only votive candles?  Would a grouping of votive candles be attractive?  I believe so.   

In order to get the most out of a votive candle grouping, consider these locations:

  • Dining room tables. You could replace the plain old tapers with small groupings of votive candles in cut glass holders at either end of where the main dish will sit on the table. A group of three to four votive candles work perfectly and add a bit more sparkle and pizzazz to a table.  Creating a nest for your votive candles within a floral arrangement adds a lot of sparkle to your table.  Placing ribbons around the votive candle holder should be done with caution.  You would not want the ribbon to get so hot that it  would catch on fire. 
  • Bathrooms.  This might be one of the most stunning locations to place votive candle groupings.  Do you have an item on the counter that is very attractive, like a glass ball with a small village inside?  By placing several votive candles in crystal candle holders on either side, makes a stunning presentation.  This is so simple because guests do not expect a bit of extra jazz in this particular room of rooms.  Scented votive candles can alter the entire atmosphere of a bathroom  and make the area more pleasant.
  • Living rooms.   Votive candle groupings sitting on your coffee table and end tables add that extra something to your room.  Sets of three votive candles or more can look very stunning. When special holders are used, the overall safety of using these lower tables for votive candle groupings is also increased.  Should you have small children or pets in the general area, keep them unlit while the children are awake.  Later in the evening after the children are in bed, light those special candles, cast that beautiful candle glow and if scented, the fragrance will permeate the room with that extra something.  Sit down with your favorite person, sip a cup  of coffee and relax.
  • Walls.    When wall sconces with votive candles are used, the results on an overall room’s ambiance can be amazing.  Using crystal votive holders, which fit into your decor, will add that extra sparkle when the votive candles are lit.  Lighting these votive candles inside a crystal votive holder casts sparkling light on the walls, ambience is added to each room, and makes everyone feel extra special who has been invited into your home.
