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.

Pillar candles are the perfect accessory for any event, no matter the season. Quick Candle’s pillars are hand poured and are available in multiple colors and sizes.

Creating fall decorations is very easy and can bring the beautiful colors of fall into any room. Lanterns have a rustic look, so they are a perfect starting point for fall decorations. Add a red pillar candle to the lantern, and create a wreath of leaves and berries around the base of the lantern to add more fall colors. Miniature pumpkins or gourds are also a great addition.

This fall decoration can be used as a table centerpiece, to decorate a mantel or foyer table. A 3″ x 3″ pillar candle will burn for up to 40 hours, so the candle light will add a long lasting, soft light to any room. Unscented pillar candles are best, so they do not interefere with the wonderful smell of Thanksgiving dinner.

Chocolate brown pillar candles in cylinder vases are perfect for creating fall centerpieces. Combine chocolate brown pillar candles with cinnamon scented pine cones or colorful silk leaves to make a centerpiece more festive. Fall colors are so beautiful, so bring them inside to create a cozy mood in your home for the season. Chocolate brown pillar candles burn for up to 120 hours, so they are sure to last throughout fall celebrations.

Candles have always been associated with romance. The only thing better than enjoying candlelight when relaxing alone is enjoying it with that special someone. There is something so alluring about the soft flickering light, as if this is the way that you are meant to see each other. Using candles to provide deep comfort and tranquil warmth is the key to bonding, whether your relationship is new and fresh or old and comfortable. Most romance experts suggest using white, softly scented candles, though most soft colors work just as well.
