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.

There are many ways to use floating candles in a wide mouth cylinder vase.  To achieve this look by Sincerely Yours, fill a wide cylinder vase with water, and submerge your favorite flowers in the water.  Wrap bear grass around the circumference of the vase and top with a floating candle.  This look is neutral and monochromatic, but it can be customized by adding colored flowers or floating candles.

This is just one more way to use floating candles in a table centerpiece.  Pictured above is an oversized wine glass with a couple of floating candles and rose petals.  The giant wine glass is set on top of a large square mirror, which is framed with votive candles and scattered rose petals.  This is a very romantic centerpiece that would be suitable for large special events or even for a special dinner at home.  Oversized glasses are also available in other styles, so you can choose the one that best suits your theme or style.

Floating candles in cylinder vases is probably one of the most common table centerpieces used.  This style is incredibly popular because it is so versatile.  To add variety, decorate each table a little differently like the ones pictured here, designed by Sincerely Yours.  One has beautiful color coordinated fabric wrapped around the base, while the other has color coordinated rose petals scattered about.  Although they are different, they are similiar in that they both have the same color palette and floating candles.  This will make your tables more interesting and give you more places to use your imagination.

Use floating candles and taper candles for your unity candle ceremony for a look that is unique and nontraditional.  Jamie in Florida used an ivory floating candle in a tall cylinder vase for the center candle and matching ivory taper candles for her unity candle ceremony.  Cylinder vases can be engraved with your names and wedding date, and then you can use it in your home for many years.  If you want to go for a more bold look, use colored candles that coordinate with your decor.  A floating unity candle is perfect for those who want something different from a typical unity candle set.

Floating Candles in Crystal Wine Glasses

Floating candles used in wine glasses look very luxurious without breaking the bank.  Use carved crystal wine glasses like the ones pictured above for a very fancy look.  Fire on water is beautiful anyway, but when you add these carved crystal glasses, it creates pure elegance.  The candlelight will be reflected off of the detail on the wine glasses, creating a soft, glistening light.  Two inch floating candles would probably work best for most wine glasses, but three inch floating candles may be better for oversized wine glasses.
