Practical Considerations When Choosing Candles
Burn Time
Long ceremonies and receptions require candles that can last for hours without needing constant replacement. Buy a minimum of 6 hour candle
If the wick is too long the smoke- not good
Holders and Safety


Candles require proper holders to prevent spills or accidents. Glass hurricanes, lanterns, and metal stands not only secure the flame but also enhance the overall aesthetic. If the glass holder doesn’t have a bottom, you are required to bring a plastic disks for underneath the candle.
Color and Scent


Neutral white or ivory candles remain popular for weddings, as they complement most décor. Some couples choose colored candles to match themes, but it’s wise to avoid scents that could interfere with food or cause discomfort for guests.
