Do It Yourself Candle Centerpiece Ideas

Creative candle centerpiece ideas can be a perfect addition to any wedding or event. You don't have to go through the hassle of having to vet and hire a design company, and you can also save a lot of money that can go toward another aspect of the party. Floating candles can be purchased at a reasonable price and can be transformed into beautiful centerpieces for tables.

Floating Candles
For these creative centerpieces, you're going to need to purchase a glass candle bowl, table mirror, a package of floating candles and rose petals for each table. First, place the glass mirror in the center of the table. Then put the bowl on top of it. Fill it slowly with water, and put the floating candles on top. Add in a handful of rose petals, any color you'd like. You can also add some colorful confetti on top, but make sure it's floating in the water and not on the candles. Light the candles just before the guests are set to arrive.

Candle Bouquet Centerpiece
For this one, you'll need some of the same supplies as the floating candle centerpiece. Gather a table mirror around 10 inches wide, 3 pillar candles of varying heights, confetti and wire ribbon. Place the table mirror in the middle of the table. Scatter some confetti on the mirror. Then take the three candles, and put them in a triangular formation. Wrap the ribbon around them to bind them together, and tie a bow in the middle. Place the candles back in the middle of the mirror.

Candles In A Jar
This extremely simple and elegant centerpiece requires only a glass jar, ribbon and a small candle that's about 4 inches tall. Place the small candle in the glass jar. Then take a ribbon, which can be any color or style, and wrap it around the top of the jar. It's a good idea to use a little hot glue to keep the ribbon in place. Otherwise, make sure you tie the ribbon extremely tight. Light the candle only before guests are about to arrive. This simple candle is perfect as a centerpiece for the table.
