Candles

Bluum Maison’s candle pairing thoughts:

1. Consider the Occasion: When selecting candles for a table setting, take into account the occasion and the overall ambiance you want to convey. For a formal dinner, opt for sleek and neutral candles like Roma Candles for some sophistication. If the gathering is more casual, Pastel Candle Sticks can add a playful touch. 
2. Layer with Complementary Elements: To create a visually dynamic table setting, layer your candles with complementary elements. Choose candle holders that match the material or color scheme of your tableware, such as plate chargers or napkin rings. 
3. Mindful Placement and Height Variation: Pay attention to the placement of candles on the table to ensure an even distribution of light. Experiment with varying heights by using different candle holder sizes to create a visually appealing tableau. 

How do I keep tapered candles from leaning?

Follow these steps. 

• A proper candle holder that snugly fits the base of the tapered candle.
• As taper candles burn, wax may accumulate and create an uneven base. Trim the wick regularly and remove excess wax to maintain a level surface for the candle.
• Consider the temperature. Avoid placing candles in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the wax to soften and the candles to lean. Keep them in a cool and stable environment.
• Straightening during burning. While the candle is burning, periodically check its alignment. Gently rotate the candle in the holder to ensure an even burn and prevent leaning.
• Trim the wicks to an appropriate length before lighting the candles to promote an even and straight burn.
