Incorporating candles into a reception has been a wedding tradition for ages, florists and event planners have long been expanding upon this tradition to constantly reinvent candle use and wow guests in new and exciting ways. With the fall wedding season getting into full swing candles form a stunning contrast of warmth and life against those cool autumn nights. There are so many options and possibilities when it comes to showcasing candles for special events that I decided to compile a list of the more contemporary candle holders we have at DVFlora designed to inspire and transform any special event into a night of magic.
- Birch Branch Cylinder (S29556): This whimsical cylinder is designed to transport you into the woods where the magic of the night will inspire you to dream. The cylinder measures 8” tall with a 4.5” opening and is the perfect size for 3×6 pillar candle to illuminate this imaginative design. The warm glow of candle light peeks through the silhouettes of birch trees amongst a silver backdrop to create a spirit of fun and mystery. We also offer the birch branch votive (S29555) which comes in a box of 12 and helps to bring together this elegant birch theme. The birch silhouette cylinder is the perfect addition to any winter wedding or event, their understated elegance is enhanced my mixing in candles and mounds of white hydrangea to create the perfect winter wonderland.

- Striped Cylinder; Silver (S29560) Gold (S29559): Perhaps your event requires you to utilize a more vibrant youthful glow; then the stripped cylinder is your secret weapon to liven up the party. These Gatsby inspired cylinders ooze sophistication and hearken back to the roaring twenties when art deco was all the rage. One look at these cylinders and I can’t help but picture ostrich feathers mixed with pearls and linens layered with rich textures; pop the cork on a bottle of champagne and let it flow because these boisterous cylinders will be the life of the party and do all the entertaining. The cylinders measure 8” tall with a 4.75” opening; we also carry matching votives to make completing the look a snap, silver (S29562), gold (S29561).

- Star Lantern; Small (S23150) Large (S23152): When I wished upon a star, I asked for a new take on a lantern, and boy did that star deliver. I have fallen head over heels in love with these country chic jug inspired lanterns! Available in 2 different sizes the small measures 6.75” tall with a 4.5” opening and the large is 9.5” tall with an opening of 5.5”. These lanterns are perfect for a winter wedding but if you want to use them for a patriotic celebration in the summer they transition seamlessly. Illuminating these lanterns gives them life; it elevates them to a new level and brings out the smaller intricate star details that would otherwise go unnoticed. I can just picture a cluster of them on an end table at a reception or clustered around an entryway. These star lanterns have me star struck and dreaming of a country inspired winter soiree; now that is something sweet to dream about.
