Candles are bold enough to stand on their own yet humble enough to allow other table elements to shine when paired together. That’s why we love them! At Urban Desert Flora, we believe they are an essential element in creating captivating tablescapes that leave a lasting impression.
Candles We Adore
We primarily utilize votives, pillar and tapers to create sophisticated and timeless tablescapes. Tapers, with their elegant height, add a touch of refinement, while pillars provide a sturdy and classic presence on your table. Votives are our trusty little guys that are easy to place amongst your other decor or add the needed shorter height to a dynamic candle-scape. Each type can be the perfect centerpiece or a complementary element to your floral arrangements, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your event.
They can be arranged in countless ways to suit your theme. Mixing and matching candle bases, colors, and sizes keeps your tablescape interesting and visually appealing. Whether you’re aiming for a minimalist aesthetic or a lavish display, candles can adapt to any style. For instance, pairing tall taper candles with shorter tapers creates a dynamic look that draws the eye and adds depth to your table setting. We can do the same with pillars of varying heights and thicknesses.
While they may seem like a static table feature, they can effortlessly add drama and depth to any space they are placed in.
The Benefit
Adding candles to your tablescape or making them the main feature is a simple yet effective way to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. If you’re looking for a non-traditional centerpiece that isn’t floral-focused, consider a candle centerpiece as part of your design.
These non-floral centerpieces can be customized to fit any theme, from rustic to modern, and can be paired with natural elements like greenery, sand, or pebbles to enhance their beauty. We can also order tapers and pillars in a wide range of colors to add a super fun pop of color down your table!
They offer versatility in terms of placement! We can use them to highlight specific areas of your tablescape, such as the head table or dessert table, or scattered throughout the venue to create a cohesive look. By strategically placing them, you can guide your guests’ attention and create focal points that enhance the overall ambiance of your event.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, candles provide practical benefits as well. They offer a soft, warm light that creates an intimate and cozy atmosphere, perfect for evening events. Unlike harsh overhead lighting, candlelight is flattering and creates a romantic glow that enhances the beauty of your tablescape and your guests.
There’s a dramatic difference in the feel of a reception with and without candle decor. It’s all in whatever suits your taste and budget. We always recommend adding at least a small votive to your table. You won’t regret it!
Taper Candle Safety
To ensure safety and compliance with venue regulations, we provide protective sleeves for our taper candles at no extra charge. This not only keeps everything and everyone safe but also adds an extra layer of elegance to the presentation. We do not want to be the florist whose candles caught a table or draping on fire! These protective sleeves are designed to blend seamlessly with your decor, ensuring that safety does not compromise style.
Conclusion
At Urban Desert Flora, we understand the importance of creating a memorable and unique event. Candles are a versatile and elegant addition to any tablescape. Whether used as a centerpiece or a complementary element, they enhance the overall look and feel of your event. We specialize in creating stunning tablescapes that reflect your unique style and vision. We can help you create a warm and inviting atmosphere that your guests will remember long after the event is over.
