A Few Good Wedding Candle Decoration Ideas

Don’t leave the important decision of wedding candle decoration until the last minute. Candles add light and romance to any setting. Candles come in a myriad of shapes sizes and colors.

The best wedding candle decoration ideas make use of a variety of styles. No detail is too small when designing the perfect wedding event, so make sure to educate yourself on all the options available.

For candle wedding decorations, we recommend SHOP.com for large selection and low prices.   Do a site search for 'wedding candle'.  For more online merchants, please visit our buyers guide.

The smallest candles you’ll be working with are votive candles. Votives can be colored and scented, although you may want to steer clear of the scented variety as some of your guests may have allergies.

Don’t worry too much about buying the most expensive votives—it is better to save some of your candle budget for the larger items. These small candles can be purchased in bulk in bags of 50-1000 depending on the stores in your area. The Internet is a great resource for finding votive candle bargains.

Votive candles can be placed inside small glass bowls and scattered throughout the wedding reception to add additional sparkle to your setting. These bowls can usually be rented from a caterer or florist.

Floating votives are also available. For outdoor weddings or for a venue with a fountain or pond, floating votives are terrific ideas. As the sun sets, light from these little candles will twinkle against the water. Test your floating candles at home to make sure they are buoyant and don’t need constant tending to stay lit.


Tapers are tall thin and elegant. These candles are traditionally used on tables during dinner service. Ask your caterer for a sample napkin to take with you when selecting your tapers; choose a taper in a color that blends in with the linens. Don’t opt for making a statement with these candles.

Candelabras always make a classy addition to any buffet table or mantle. Be careful not to get too many color schemes working in the room at once. Candelabras should be filled with the same color tapers that adorn your dining tables.

The largest candles you will be dealing with will be pillar candles. These candles will be placed inside floral arrangements or anchored on a mantle. When choosing wedding candle decorations for your wedding reception table arrangements, make sure to involve the florist. Prior to the event, bring a few color options to your florist. Select a candle that compliments the flowers in the arrangement and doesn’t call attention away from the elegant design.

Don’t skimp on your larger candles. Keep an eye out for no-drip candles and test the burning of a candle at home to make sure the candle stays lit consistently. Make sure the candles don’t emit any smoke or sparks.

Be sure to purchase a few extra candles and put a server in charge of refreshing the wedding candle decorations throughout the evening.

If you want to use any kind of scented wedding candle decoration, use them in the powder rooms or as wedding favors. Wrap a scented candle with tissue and tie up with a ribbon. Have a basket of these goodies near the door as your guests leave for the night. They’ll sleep with sweet scents and happy dreams of your magical wedding day.
