Pink votive holders are the perfect way to add a pop of color to any decor.  Pink votive holders feature one of the most popular wedding colors of 2010, a vibrant hot pink.  Pink votive holders would look great on a black or white tablecloth.  The votive candles shown in this picture are white, which really makes the pink stand out.

Two inch floating candles are beautiful in any type of glass vase or bowl, but this is a creative way to add floating candlelight to any table scape.  The 2 inch floating candles burn for about 4-5 hours.  These petite hurricanes are fairly small in size, but small aquarium rocks or flower petals could be submerged in the water to add some color.  The floating candles in petite hurricanes could be used around a larger floating candle centerpiece or clustered together to create something unique.

Place square votive holders in organza bags for elegant party, shower, or wedding favors for guests.  Square votive holders are great favors because they are inexpensive, yet beautiful.  This is a functional favor that guests are sure to enjoy.  Organza bags are available in virtually any color, so this is a creative way to add color to guest tables.

Cylinder vases can be used in thousands of different ways.  They are great for holding pillar candles or floating candles, and they are fantastic for floral arrangements.  The picture above shows just one way a cylinder vase can be transformed into a beautiful centerpiece.  A flower ball with sparkling crystals is placed on top of a cylinder vase, and votive candles in clear votive holders bring soft light to the table.  This centerpiece is very simple, but is so extraordinary.

Glass candle holders come in many shapes, sizes, colors, and styles, and their most important function is safety.  Pillar candles and tealight candles can be burned without glass holders, but it is always safer to use glass candle holders.  Votive candles liquefy while burning, so they must always be burned in glass votive candle holders.  The use of glass candle holders will prevent hot wax from dripping onto surfaces, which could potentially start a fire.  Prevent fires by using glass candle holders with all candles, and never leave burning candles unattended.

Whether planning a Valentine’s Day dinner for two or for a larger group, this romantic centerpiece will be perfect for the dinner table.  Pink pillar candles are placed in large hurricane vases with natural rocks filling the bottom.  A small arrangement of pink and cream colored roses adds to the romantic look, while pink votive candles surround the larger vases and bring a balance of light to the table.  This beautiful centerpiece can be easily altered to match any color scheme or any type of event.

Valentine’s day is less than a week away, so it is time to start thinking about how to create a perfect table setting for a romantic dinner.  The gorgeous table arrangement above features pink votive candles in petite hurricane votive holders, which are arranged in a heart shape.  The votive candles are set on top of a large mirror to multiply the candlelight, and small bundles of flowers add a romantic touch.

Oyster votive holders can obviously be used on tables and other flat surfaces, but they can also be used as hanging votive holders.  Since oyster votive holders have a curled top, it is very easy to attach wire for hanging.  Oyster votive holders also fit into many decorative wall candle holders.  Oyster votive holders work well with 10 hour votive candles or standard tealight candles.

Hang frosted votive candle holders from branches to create a very unique centerpiece.  The centerpieces pictured above have tall bamboo and colorful vase rocks, which are arranged in tall flared vases.  Frosted votive candle holders are hanging at different heights from the bamboo.  There are several different ways to make hanging votive holders, but one of the easiest methods is outlined on The Nettleton Hollow Blog.  This type of centerpiece can be altered very easily to match any color choice.
