Pillar candles
can be used to create stunning centerpieces.
Whether you are decorating a table for an elegant dinner reception or a casual summer garden party, pillar candles can help you achieve the desired look. Versatile pillar candles come in a wide variety of colors and scents, which makes it easy to customize the centerpiece. Combine the tall candles with unexpected items, such as fruit and beach toys, to create inspired table decor. Does this Spark an idea?
Rustic Centerpiece
Enhance a country-inspired dinner table with a rustic candle centerpiece. A wrought iron, punched tin or time-worn white metal lantern will set the stage for casual decor. Fill the lantern with a pillar candle featuring an earthy tone such as rust red, burnt orange, olive green or burnished gold. A spattering of real or faux autumn leaves or a wooden bowl filled with red and green apples will accent the look.
Beach-inspired Centerpiece
Design a breezy beach-inspired centerpiece to accent a summer soiree or picnic table. To create the simple centerpiece, fill a vibrant red, yellow or green plastic sand bucket halfway with sand. Nestle a white or brightly colored pillar candle into the sand. A handful of small seashells can be used to accent the sand surrounding the candle. A seahorse or sand dollar-patterned table cloth or runner will enhance the themed centerpiece.
Fruity Centerpiece
The combination of fresh fruit and candles makes a sweet, summer-inspired centerpiece. Choose a fruit that coordinates with the party color or decor theme. A hollowed-out pineapple becomes a stunning pillar candle holder for a tropical-themed event. Cut a watermelon in half, scoop out the fruit, and use the shell as a holder for several pink or green pillar handles. Jelly beans can be placed around the candles to create a secure fit. Use the scooped-out fruit to create refreshing salads, appetizers and desserts.
