How to Buy Candle Holders

With many styles of candle holders on the market, choosing the correct holder for your candle can be daunting. Candle holders offer style but also offer a vital function by containing a burning candle. Learn to buy candle holders that fit your style and budget.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Pick a candle holder that fits your candle safely. Votive candles should be placed in candle holders specifically designed for votive candles. Molded, free-standing candles can be placed on special candle holder plates that are a couple of inches wider than the candle.

2. Choose a candle holder that fits your style. Wooden or wrought iron candle holders fit in well in a classic, older home. Contemporary homes can showcase candle holders with bright colors and geometric shapes.

3. Buy candle holders that fit your budget. For special occasions or candles that hold sentimental meaning, expensive candle holders are fine. Ordinary candles that you plan to burn often can be placed into nice candle holders that are affordable. Find affordable holders at chain stores in your area.

4. Purchase bulk candle holders for special events at local party stores or online. Simple, glass votive holders or pillar candle holders are affordable in mass quantities.
