First off, pick the right candles. Since the candles are the center of the centerpiece, you want the color and size to match the over all theme or occasion. You may want to choose floating candles for a weeding or formal occasion, and pillar candles for a romantic or seasonal setting.

Second you should choose a candle holder. Not only will this enhance the look of your centerpiece but it will keep the flame away from clothing or other flammable materials. You can use a glass vase for pillar candles or a pedestal bowl with tealight candles for a dimensional effect. If you are having a somewhat casual gathering you can consider using triangle shaped or square bowls. Hourglass shaped candle holders can express a more creative idea and can be ideal for restaurants.

The final step you can do is pick the base decoration that will go around the centerpiece. If you’re using pillar candles you can use a wreath of flowers around it. If you are using shorter candles such as tealights or ball candles you may want to place the candle holder above a decorative box or put smaller loose flowers around it, such as picked roses.

Of course you can use candles to accessories candles. For example 3 to 6 candles of different sizes but of the same color can complement each other when placed in a circle from tallest in the middle to shortest outside. This can eliminate overall cost but keep your centerpiece trendy. Never leave a lit candle unattended.
