- A wreath candle combines the use of a floral wreath and candles to make a lovely arrangement. To make a wreath candle, you can buy a ready-made wreath from a craft store made of plastic or a real wreath which can easily be found during the holidays. You can decorate the wreath by adding ribbons and different kinds of flowers, such as roses, carnations or any other flower of your choice. For a holiday theme, poinsettias are a popular choice around Christmas time. Candles of the same shape and varying heights can then be placed in the center of the wreath to finish this arrangement.
- Floating candles are simple to make and are perfect for both indoor and outdoor events. All you need is a large glass bowl filled with water. You can use bowls in varying sizes for to make this. Purchase floating candles in any design that you wish and place them in the bowl filled halfway with water. Purchase flowers of your choice, or gather your own fresh flowers, and cut the bud from the stem. Arrange the flowers around the candles in the bowl. Another alternative to this arrangement is to place floating candles and flower buds in a fountain or even a swimming pool to achieve a dramatic effect of lights and flowers.
- To create a fruits and flowers candle arrangement, you can purchase a floral ring from a florist or craft store. You can choose to use real or plastic fruits or flowers for this arrangement. Almost any flower can be used, but popular fruits include pears, apples, oranges and lemons. Try to find fresh flowers that are the same color as the fruits that you'll be using to create a visually pleasing arrangement. Use floral wire, glue and ribbons to arrange the fruits and flowers around the floral ring. You can choose to place one large candle in the center of the ring or several candles in varying sizes depending on the size of the ring that you use. Alternately, you can choose a large glass vase and place a candle in the center, and then fill the space around the candle with fruits and flowers.
