Use red floating candles in centerpieces to add a dash of fall color to the table.  Fall is the perfect time to use red with other warm colors, like burnt orange, golden yellow, or ivory.  Red floating candles would look great in tall cylinder vases with curly willow branches, bear grass, or colored strands of beads submerged into the water below.  Red floating candles would also look nice in shallow bowls with flower petals or colored glass rocks.  Floating candles are a wonderful decoration because they are versatile and beautiful no matter how they are used.

Floating candles in glass hurricanes will add an elegant touch to any home, business, or special event.  These crystal clear hurricane holders are made of thick, high quality glass and will reflect beautifully the light from the floating candle.  The floating candles are made from high quality paraffin wax and burn clean for 4-5 hours.  Floating candles in glass hurricanes are also perfect for outdoor events because the high sides of the hurricanes protect the flame.

Floating candles are commonly used in pools, fountains, and in glass bowls and vases.  Many people may wonder how floating candles burn without dripping wax into the water.  Floating candles burn down the center, so the wax around the edges does not melt.  Once the wick has burned to  the bottom, the flame extinguishes itself.  A bowl shaped piece of wax is left floating in the water.  Then, it is simply be removed from the water and disposed of.  It is important to remember that floating candles work best when used in calm water with little to no movement.

Sage green floating candles are a beautiful addition to any decor.  Green is a very popular color for decorating because it is vibrant and invigorating.  Green floating candles can be used to add a splash of color to your dinner table, mantel, desk, countertop, or bookshelf.  Floating candles create a soft, romantic mood when the flame is reflected in the water.  Green floating candles can also be used to complement other color schemes, too.  Green is a versatile color that looks great with almost any other color.
