The Dramatics of Candelabras...
Halloween is just around the corner and candelabras always remind me of those spooky old mansions. They are very dramatic and eye catching. Not only are they wonderful for just the center of a round table, but add a few to elongate the feel of a rectangular table, a table that only fits 6 will feel like 20. You can dress them up with crystals and flowers or just leave them alone for everyday use. I love the use of carnations or roses in a bundle for the candles. They replace the candles with these bunches and it gives it an extra pop of color, which is wonderful for venues that don't except candles (and fake candles just don't look right with these). Also if you are just leaving them up for everyday use some fake flowers would allow this piece to be another piece of everyday decor. You can always have them come out so when you sit down to dinner you can remove them and replace with candles.
Here are just some examples;
Picture 1 : Is a beautiful display of how to you can use a candelabra to hold floral arrangements also. Its very Queen of hearts to me, I really love it. Bold and elegant.
Picture 2: Is an example of what I talked about earlier. Making bunches of flowers to replace candles with. It adds a great amount of color to an otherwise dreary table.
Picture 3: Has an arrangement in the middle of the candelabra with candle surrounding it. This is great for a simple candle holder that doesn't have much going on.
Picture 4: A elegant example of crystal use. The whole table just feels lit up compared to the dark room behind it. How the crystals hang off of this one can be done to any simple candle holder much like picture 3.
Mostly any decor place you shop has some sort of candelabras and can range from $15 to thousands of dollars. You can get them ornate, drenched in crystal, or just some metal bars with candle holders on top. Really the sky is the limit when decorating with these.
You can also find them right here in our Shop! These are the ones we carry;
