Use Candles for an Elegant Christmas Centerpiece
Brad C
As you plan your holiday table, no doubt you’ve got something in mind as a centerpiece. Christmas candle centerpieces
add color and energy to every table. Choosing the right centerpiece to make or buy can help you create exactly the mood you want around your Christmas table, whether it’s one of elegant sophistication or holiday whimsy.
Tall, slender tapers fit the plan for a graceful dinner table. Surrounded by greens or standing in beautiful candle holders that fit the season, the flow of a single flame or two is delicate and special. The most popular taper colors for Christmas are white, red, and green, but many people also enjoy metallic tapers in silver or gold. CandleBay.com has a beautiful combination of deer shaped candle holders with birch tapers – it brings an outdoor feel indoors, yet the set is graceful enough for even the most discerning diners. Discount Candle Shop has scented tapers too, with
fragrances like bayberry.
Another popular arrangement is a small grouping of pillars of assorted heights, perhaps on a tray surrounded by evergreen boughs with tiny decorations like little gingerbread men or Santa’s. You could also use shiny round Christmas tree ornaments in either a variety of colors, or all the same shade if you have selected a monochromatic theme. An easy choice is placing the pillars on a mirrored tray; it’s a simple yet special addition to every holiday table. Discount Candle Shop has pillars decorated like candy canes, starting at $7.
As you are choose the pillars, make sure to consider the menu – would it be better to have a scented candle enhance appetites, or would unscented allow your guests to better enjoy the aromas of the meal? There’s no right or wrong choice here, just something to consider.
