From
the SuperWeddings Archives Like a touch of magic, glitter
transforms the stylish into the spectacular. Candles glisten. Gifts
gleam. The room glows. Rolled into a swirl pattern and covered in
glitter, these beeswax candles are sure to add a fiery sparkle to any
holiday decor. The rich color of the candles, combined with their
shimmery effect, adds warmth and glamor. Grouped upon a coordinating
pillar candle tray, then set upon a reflective surface and surrounded
by a scattering of glass beads, your reception room with be awash
with a glittering display of sparkling, reflective light.
The rich texture
of raw silk inspired these elegant pillars, whose pearly hues and
iridescent finish seem to glow when lit. Striking and versatile, they
look luscious in a group or classic with a simple Pillar Holder. When
presented on a gilded pillar like the one shown, and surrounded by
pearl bead garlands, an opulent, if not slightly exotic mood, is the
wonderful result.
Shiny, shimmering
golden candles of rolled beeswax will make your reception room come
alive with glitzy sophistication. Stunning centerpieces emerge by
simply grouping the candles in combinations of different sizes and
placing upon glitter inlaid Italian glass plates which give off a
fiery sparkle even when the lights are low. For accent, dot the
plates and table with diamond-cut glass beads, and add a few shiny
red Christmas balls for contrast and an effect which looks utterly
astonishing. The red and glitzy gold combination makes a stunning
visual statement. The secret to making a relatively simple
centerpiece design like this work so amazingly well lies in selecting
just the right individual components. The exceptional appearance of
these rolled beeswax glitter candles make the world of difference in
this design. Then, fine details like the glass beads, red balls, and
gorgeous glitter infused plates help to carry the day. Use
discriminating taste, and hunt for extra-special items to experience
the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. Make no mistake,
your guests will notice your exceptional attention to detail.
Outside it may be
frightful but inside your reception room, the snow is oh so
delightful! Trimmed with hints of wintry weather, these pretty and
pristine pieces embellish every setting with charm. Like holiday
garlands, silver strands wrap themselves around these snow-white
spiral candles and accentuate their beauty. Grouping the candles in
collections of different sizes and shapes, as opposed to using all
the same, will add visual interest. Placing the group on a mirror
platform helps increase the perceived size of the centerpiece as its
reflection is captured. The caviar pearl bead garland lends the soft,
frothy, 'snowy' effect that absolutely caps off this look to total
perfection. Just another example of how a very simple-to-assemble
design can be absolutely stunning when the right pieces and
combinations are used.
Who needs
moonlight when you can bask in the radiance of the night sky with
shimmering crystal centerpiece designs? The brilliance of these
15-point crystal candle holders is the result of 128 tiny facets
sending light in every direction at once. Placing them on a mirror
platform gives you double the twinkle and shine. As wonderful as a
design like this is at holiday season, it's nonetheless perfect for
weddings at any time of the year.
Silver-Leaf
Filled Tealights glow warmly and reflect the light and colors around
them. They make a lovely accent piece for a mantel or buffet table;
or, for a scintillating centerpiece present them on a mirror
platform, add a swirl of shimmering organza ribbon (we chose a gold
ribbon to contrast beautifully with the silver and play off the
pretty gold accents on the holders) toss in a few glass beads or a
delicate bear garland, and you're all set!
