Romance, intimacy, and magical joy – feelings evoked by the beauty of candlelight, deeming it as an essential detail for any wedding reception table. Whether you use tapers or votives, the soft glow creates the ambience every couple wants for their wedding day.
At many venues, open flames are not allowed; therefore, tapers must be enclosed with a glass chimney. Votives, because they are inside a glass votive holder, are allowed and sit low on the table. Together, they provide a beautiful, soft light, high and low.
Did you know there’s a third way to have candle light using candleholders and peg votives? Peg votives have a “peg” that sits inside the candleholder. Pop in a tea light, light the wick, and that magical mood is kindled.
We’ve been pulling brass candleholders and clear peg votives for an upcoming wedding. The couple will be lighting 95 of these on their reception tables. Surely, everyone will be enjoying a most memorable evening in their glow!
In addition to clear votives, vibrance can be added with colored glass votives, as you can see here. How beautiful they are!
Psst – Here’s a behind-the-scenes photo of Sarah getting the candleholders and peg votives ready to pack. She’s almost finished!
