Most wedding venues today have a smoking ban and that not only applies to cigarettes. So what can you do when smoking candles are not allowed? Here are some ideas that include smokeless candles.
In these days of venues being more concerned with health and safety it may be the case that you will not be allowed to light any candles at your wedding reception. You may also find that the hotel or restaurant is not insured for lit candles as insurance premiums have become more costly.
Assuming that you have found a place to hold your reception that does allow candles to be used and you are looking for wedding ideas that include wax candles then here are a few suggestions.
Firstly when buying candles do look for smokeless candles. They are not cheap candles but for the little extra that you pay it is well worth it. At the same time check to see that they are dripless candles which they probably will be if they are quality candles. With non drip candles the wax burns down inside the outer shell before that outer skin melts which gives you the added bonus of a longer burn time with all the wax being used for lighting, not wasted and making a mess of your wedding table.
Wedding table decorations take many forms but a classic and very often used wedding table centrepiece involves the use of candles.
Wedding candelabra can look really classy, especially if classic candles such as Sherwood dinner candles are used. A great alternative is the taper candle sometimes referred to as a Venetian candle. The Sherwoods are a larger and more imposing candle where the tapers are what they suggest and an altogether much smaller candle but still a classic. Both are available in a range of colours but the classy ivory is the ever popular colour and looks good on a wedding table.
If you prefer not to use candelabra there are alternative wedding table centrepieces.
Altar candles are available in one colour, best described as off-white but they do come in a variety of heights and can be put together to make an interesting and effective grouping.
Church candles more often than not are a blend of waxes that includes a percentage of bees wax. A little more expensive than Altar candles but again come in a variety of shapes and sizes that can be combined to create candle wedding centrepieces.
Perhaps the ultimate wedding table centrepiece would be designed using candles that are 100 percent bees wax. Beeswax candles are not cheap candles but they really are something special. They look good and burn with a nice glow. Perhaps these special pillar candles could be used for the table used by the bride and groom with a selection of coloured candles as wedding table decorations for guests.
