Frosted flower pot votive candle holders are popular for garden theme parties, weddings, and showers.  The flower pot votive holders are also a popular choice for favors.  Place a votive candle inside the holder, wrap with tulle, and tie with a ribbon for a cute favor.  You could also fill the holders with small flower arrangements, candy or other small items.  Frosted flower pot votive candle holders can add more personality to your home, office, or special event.

Liquid paraffin fuel cells are a great option for candlelight in restaurants because they are affordable and long burning.  Fuel cells contain liquid paraffin, which is enclosed in a disposable, plastic container.  Once all of the fuel has been consumed, simply discard the plastic container.  Liquid paraffin fuel cells are very safe to use because they contain a built in snuffer, which extinguishes the flame if the container should tip over.

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.

Votive candles are frequently used at weddings, but why not have your candles serve many purposes all at once?  Print your guests’ names and seating assignments on clear labels, and then place them on votive candle holders.  Have your guests carry these to their tables, where they will serve as table decor.  Finally, when the festivities are over, have your guests take their personalized candles home as favors.  This is a DIY project that is simple, quick, and inexpensive.  This is a creative way have everything you want on your wedding day while saving money!

Floating candles are commonly used in table centerpieces for wedding receptions, parties, and banquets.  Floating candles can be used in just about any glass container, so use your imagination to create your own personalized look.  The centerpiece pictured above has a floating candle in an odd shaped vase with colored water to tie in the theme.  The square mirror tile underneath showcases the bright colors and reflects light beautifully.  This could easily be customized to suit the theme of any party, wedding, or other special event.

Pillar candles are perfect for use in decorative lanterns, like the ones used by Erica in New York for her wedding centerpieces.  Lanterns are a great option for centerpieces with a little more flair than a standard flower or candle arrangement.  It is important to use decorative lanterns that are designed for use with candles to ensure safety.  Erica used votive candles in frosted votive holders around the lantern to add more light to the tables.  This centerpiece is absolutely beautiful, elegant, and very unique.
