Candle wedding centerpieces add a glamorous and romantic ambiance to any wedding reception table. Wedding centerpieces can add to or take away from the overall wedding atmosphere.
Always consider the size of the table before planning on a certain candle centerpiece. You want your guests to eat comfortably without worrying about knocking it over or burning themselves.
Use clear glass if your reception takes place in the evening or in an area with limited light. The clear glass will double the lighted size and help project the light further than colored glass.
Here are a couple simple ideas for your reception tables.
Floating candles are gaining in popularity these days. This centerpiece style is simple to recreate and adds a marvelous look to reception tables. Fill a martini glass or hurricane vase with water, place floating candles that fit your wedding theme in the water. You can also add colored sand, river rocks, sea shells, or colored glass to the bottom of the container.
Another popular wedding centerpiece with candles uses pedestal candle holders, pillar candles, water, and acrylic beads or colored glass. Buy pedestal holders at various heights, place contrasting acrylic beads or colored glass in the bottom of the holders. Then add your candles. Fill the holder to half way up the pillar candle.
Don’t just stop there, you can also sprinkle table jewels, flower petals, or confetti around the centerpieces for added beauty.
