Your senses gently notice a flickering candle wick, salt air from the shore and the gentle roar of the waves. We’re talking about candles. You can locate stores selling candles by flipping through the pages of a whole great big directory of candle vendors. You can even find strongly scented candles to perfume the air beautifully. Moreover, you can buy stylish candle holders too. These candle holders are available in a wide range of shapes, texture and price tags. Wood, brass, silver, gold, platinum etc. are some of the things used in making effete candle holders.

7 Point Checklist for Choosing the Right Candle Holders

Executive Summary about Candles Holders by Justine Van Zyl

While glass and metal candle holders are the most popular, there is an absolutely huge variety available, in all sorts of materials.

1 The event. If it’s a seasonal event, such as Easter or Christmas, one of the many plaster candle holders might be suitable.

2 Size. If intimate is your objective, then go with tea lights or small jar or container candle holders.

3 Siting. If the setting is more intimate, then smaller is better.

4 Color. Remember that boldly-colored holders are more difficult to match to the candle color and to your decor.

5 Material. You can choose between wood, bronze, silver, crystal, aluminium, metal candle holders, wrought iron, beaded holders, or natural products such as bamboo and coconut. You can either choose a completely neutral holder, or choose a colored holder that will match the candle color. Glass is particularly appropriate for votive candleholders. Hurricane candleholders are popular for pillar candles and are wonderful for al fresco dining.

6 Shape. Bees, birds and butterflies (particularly pretty when matched to tea light candles) are popular and are available in solid and transluscent colours. Consider slate pillar plates for the really big or multi-wick candles; in fact, lovers of pillar candles can find a wide range of coasters and plate holders, some of them beautifully decorated.


7 The candle itself. For instance pillars, which tend to be chunky anyway, require more substantial holders than more delicate candles. If you’re going to use votive candles, remember that they must be burned in a holder, because votives are really container candles without a container. The straight sides will reduce the wax pool that is formed when the candle burns, and the tighter the fit, the longer the candle will burn.
