Even tea lights

Use normal floating candles, or tea lights in floating holders, or if you're really pressed, tea lights on their own (because their aluminum containers won't crack in the cold water). Remember to use a number of candles if the container is of any size; more is definitely better in this type of arrangement.

You can also find translucent gel-based floating candles, which look particularly good in their clear protective containers. And because gel candles generally burn for a long time, they're also an economic choice.

If you use floating candles at the dinner table or in an entertainment area, you can easily continue the theme into the bathroom and even on to the bedroom.

In a sense, bathrooms are a natural for floating candles. For an initial impact, use floating candles actually in the bath (in your own or the guest bathroom), and then extend the theme using mirrors to reflect the flame and incorporate a windowsill if you have one.

Again, the bath is a natural for a mixture of flowers and candles.

In the bedroom, even if you are already using pillar candles, think about incorporating a bowl of floating candles as well. The combination will work wonderfully well.
