2 What's the right size candle holder?

  • If it's a statement you're after, you have to think big and bold because anything less will probably not achieve the effect you want. But big and bold brings its own problems - solid colors probably won't work.
  • Instead, consider vines, ivy, and espalier multiple candle holders, which lend themselves particularly well to larger arrangements with a number of tea lights or small jars. If you're going this route, you can probably justify wholesale and/or discount quantities.
  • If a more intimate setting is your objective, then go with tea lights or small jar or container candle holders.
  • If you want to go to the opposite extreme, then chandeliers can add a delightfully unusual touch if you have the right place to positon them, which leads to...

3 Where are you going to site them?

Where are you going to position the candles?

  • For instance, if you're going for a combination of scented candles and food (and just about everyone will tell you to avoid that particular mix) then the holder needs to be off to one side, big enough to be noticed and solid enough to be left unattended in safety.
    You want to please your guests with a suggestion of a fragrance, not overpower them or the food.
  • If the setting is more intimate, then smaller is better. Don't force your guests to crane over the candles, or peer around the side, to hold a conversation.
