The Table

From round tables and long dining tables to sweetheart settings, layered candlelight brings warmth, height, and rhythm to the places guests gather. Each composition is considered within the room, creating an intimate setting for conversation and celebration. Floating candles can add a reflective supporting layer alongside tapers and sand wax in glass cylinders.

Design language

Layered with intention.

Glass cylinders with pearled wax and long-stemmed tapers form the heart of a Candlelit installation. Votives, tealights, vintage brass, and silver candlesticks add dimension, with floating candles as an elevated supporting layer alongside tapers and sand wax. White and ivory pearled wax are standard; premium color options and smaller glass vessel accents can bring color into the design.

Full-service candlelight design

One cohesive atmosphere.

Candlelight can lead the design of a candle-forward celebration or integrate beautifully with florals and existing décor. Every installation is considered as part of the whole, with delivery, styling, candle management, and removal handled by Candlelit.
