There’s a new “natural” trend happening when it comes to home decorating, wedding centerpieces and event themes. What can be more natural than candles burning? Here are some ideas for rustic and natural decorations using pillar candles.

It’s always recommended to place pillar candles on some sort of candle holder to catch any waxy residue. Placing it on a wood plank makes it natural by bringing the outside in. Add a few other rustic elements like cranberries, dried flowers or pine cones and you have a complete, simple and rustic centerpiece for the home or social gathering.

Along the same lines, with the same wooden candle holder, simply add a touch of class with glass. Place the same pillar candles in the same setting only inside tall cylinder vases; It still gives the theme a rustic appeal but more elegant for those romantic wedding receptions or banquets.

If you’re looking to create these simple yet elegant centerpieces, be sure to check out our pillar candle options, as well as our pillar candle glass holders.
