Decorating for the fall season with the use of votive candles is a good idea. Votive candles have the right size to go with the any set up without overpowering the whole decoration plan. They are small in size and are able to fit with most other decorations and can provide illumination for individual tables. More light is easily added by using more candles per table. They perfectly match the change in season from hot and brighter summer to cooler darker fall.
Votive candles are a great buy and they are available almost everywhere. They are usually found in lots of 144 or 72 and are cheaper when purchased in bulk.. If you are about to decorate for a large event, these amounts will help you do the task easier without straining your budget. One thing you should keep in mind is that the standard white candles are cheap and made from the cheapest wax. They are ideal to use in large rooms and outdoors because they can give off an odor when burned.
If you prefer the candles that do not give off any odor when burned, then votive candles made from beeswax or soy wax are the ones for you. Some of the beeswax candles even give off a sweet smell when burned. The sweet smell is coming from the honey residue in the wax from when the candle was manufactured. The color all natural beeswax votive candles have is tan and/or golden depending on the kind of flowers the bees were pollinating when the wax was made.
For proper holding, the candles need to be placed in a holder. If you intend to illuminate a jack-o-lantern, then you don't need the holder. The candle will stand on its own and will provide enough light. Make the Halloween Party more special by adding a cinnamon scent or spice inside the hollowed pumpkin to give the occasion a little scented twist. This will make the pumpkin give off a pumpkin pie smell. As you can see, decorating occasions like Halloween can be made special and exciting with the use of votive candles.
