* Layering candle fragrances is a great way to make unique scents and create your own ambiance. Burn a vanilla candle near a strawberry candle to create a, “Strawberry Shortcake” aroma. Or burn a cinnamon candle near an apple candle to create a scrumptious, “Apple Pie”. Remember to light your candles ½-hour before your guests arrive to allow the fragrances time to diffuse in your rooms.
* Before a wedding, or any candle lighting ceremony, it is recommended that you pre-light your wicks. Charring the wicks will allow quick and easy lighting during special ceremonies.
* Removing wax from your holders is best achieved by putting them in your freezer.
* Ensure a tight fit (and prevent tipping) in candle holders by using a wax adhesive. Wax adhesives can also be used under a pillar to make them sit flat on uneven surfaces or to ensure they do not slip.
* Always remove the metal wick clips from the bottom of votive candle holders before inserting another candle to be burned. The metal clips transfer much heat which can cause the container to unnecessarily crack or break.
* Group candlesticks of different heights for more visual impact.
* Votives - always burn votives in votive holders for best results and longest burn times. Votive holders are available in a wide variety of styles and colors, more elaborate ones are decorative elements without any additional work.
* Large floating candles in the pool can really set the mood for your next party. Remove all flammable items from the pool and its edges first.Floating candles always look best in multiples.
* Choose a candle holder for its own style. Being able to burn candles in it is just an added benefit.
* Parties / Showers / Weddings - Use floating candles as table centerpieces. Themed candles make great favors.
