Wedding Candelabra
Romance and candlelight go hand in hand. Wedding candelabras combine the romance of candlelight with the elegance of artfully crafted crystal, pewter, and other materials. Typically, wedding candelabras are floor-standing pieces, but there are also table-top models pieces that serve as memorable centerpieces.
Floor-standing wedding candelabras
Imagine the impressive sight of a five-armed wedding candelabra, majestically crafted in gently curving wrought iron and standing 66 inches high. Wrought iron is one preferred material for floor-standing wedding candelabras because of its strength and stability, as well as its beauty. Floor-standing wedding candelabras generally come in styles with three to five arms.
Crystal wedding candelabras
Crystal comes alive with multi-faceted beauty in candlelight. Crystal wedding candelabras are table-top pieces, in three, four, or five-arm designs. These breathtaking wedding candelabras are often adorned with crystal droplets and polished silver or gold accents.
Pewter wedding candelabras
Pewter candelabras, in brushed or polished finishes, and accented with eye-catching detail, like twining grape vines or intricate Celtic weaving, reflect time-honored classic styling. Some pewter wedding candelabras use a combination of glass candle holders with votive candles.
Number and type of candles
For the classic look of tapered candles, be sure to choose candelabras that accommodate tapers. Some candelabras hold thicker pillars. Other sconces are designed for use with candle holders meant for holding votive candles. Also, while some wedding candelabras hold a few candles, such as three-armed styles, others can hold as many as seven, as with six-armed candelabras.
Using a candle snuffer
For easier maintenance and safety, use a candle snuffer, rather than blowing out the flames, to extinguish candles in a wedding candelabra; this way, you won’t get wax droplets on your floors, tablecloths or furnishings and the candle wicks will stay safely centered.
Wedding candelabras improve the ambiance of any room, and make any day a special occasion. |
