Special events and weddings are all about the details,
and many of the details centered on the decorations. Decorations include a wide range of things such as centerpieces, chair covers, table linens, invitations, lighting and more. Some of the most creative decorative pieces for any event are floor candelabras.
So, what exactly are floor candelabras? These elegant items are stand-alone pieces that come in many different sizes and styles. They are tall and typically hold one or more candles depending on the style. When it comes to style, they come in wrought iron, brass, nickel, white, silver, bronzed leather and more. Some are very simple with just one stand with one candleholder and no detail. Others are very elaborate with details carved into the stand, multiple candleholders and even detail around the bottom base. They can be decorated with the candleholders in a straight line, in an arc, with candles that wrap around the base, or even with candleholders positioned on all sides of the base.
Now that you know what these are, it’s important to understand what they can be used for. Some people like them in their homes to provide a soft glow that looks both elegant and romantic. They are also popular for use at events. They contribute to setting a certain mood and are often used to light the entryway to an event. Additionally, they are good to place around the event location to add soft lighting. One of the most popular uses for these types of candleholders is in wedding ceremonies. They are often used to light the aisle or ceremony location to add to the event’s overall romantic theme.
Aside from floor model candelabras, you can also get table candelabras to match. To carry the mood and theme over to your wedding reception, you can use matching table candelabras as your wedding centerpieces. Many candelabras also have adjustable heights. This is great because if you use them in your wedding ceremony, you can bring them to your reception and adjust the heights to meet your needs there as well. You can also choose to adjust multiple candelabras in different heights to make elegant designs.
When choosing candelabras, there are a couple of cost-saving measures you can use to get the best price. For starters, there are many online vendors that specialize in all types of candelabras. An online vendor is a nice way to go since you can easily view the selection and compare prices to other online vendors. It’s also helpful when looking at prices to look for a vendor that offers wholesale prices. This will save you a lot of money and some vendors will even offer wholesale prices to special event planners and individuals without requiring a special license.
Other ways to keep prices low is to consider shipping. Many candelabras, especially floor models, must be shipped in multiple shipments due to their size. It’s a good idea to check shipping prices before placing an order. Also be sure to check shipping times, as you want to ensure that you can get your candelabras in plenty of time for your event.
Generally candelabras don’t come with the candles needed, so you will need to either find a vendor that sells the candles as well or determine the size of the candles you will need if you have to buy them separately. Floor candelabras are great accessories to any event because they don’t only add lighting, but they also give your special event extra elegance.
