Floating Candles
Floating Candles: The life of wax
Floating candles are candles which float on water. In the ancient traditions, small candles were placed on leaves and sent down the river to celebrate the lives of friends. Today’s uses for floating candles are much more recreational, but we do still hold some ties to the old ways. Here are some places where you might see floating candles.
Wedding Receptions
Weddings are such elegant events that the Floating Candle Holders adapt with the scenery. You might see a large shallow glass bowl as The Candle holder and several candles on top, flickering and celebrating the joyous union of man and wife. The possibilities are endless.
Upscale Restaurants
Add to the romantic evening with floating candles. They do not pose a fire hazard because the wate ris right there. The way the light glistens on the water enhances the cuisine of true love.
Memorial services
Celebrate the life of Binky the Turtle by lighting floating candles and sending them down the river. Give each of your friends a flower candle that they can light and say their goodbyes. Wakes are also a home of floating candles.
Dining Room Centerpieces
You cooked the best meal that has ever graced your table and you want to share it with a loved one. Placing a floating candle holder, maybe a vase or a small waterfall, on the table with tell that special someone that you care about them enough to give the best.
Proms
Floating candles and candle holders are great for adding the charm of the occasion to your prom. You will relish the way that the streamers iridescently glow within the flickering light. Place your containers on the buffet table so everyone has a chance to gaze fondly upon them. Relish the moments that you create with candles.
