Candlelight has been used to illuminate celebrations for many generations. The earliest candle wax was used in Ancient Egypt with animal fat. They have been an integral part of our journey into civilization since 5000 years. From being just utilitarian to also being decorative candlesticks are used on many occasions. From birthday party candles, scented candles, floating candles to memory candles, they are everywhere symbolising light, strength and happiness. Floating Paradise Today, candles are made with paraffin wax and hence can be floated on the water making it a versatile addition to any home décor. Special floating candles can be used in a beautiful brass vase filled with flowers to light up a celebration in the home. These candles are usually encased in a very thin metal or plastic cup which will float on water. Floating candles can also be used for a while as they burn for anywhere between 4-5 hours. You can add a festive atmosphere to any household by using floating candles. They can also be used to create a relaxing and romantic environment if you are planning a dinner with a loved one. Birthday Celebrations Birthday cakes decorated with birthday candles have been a tradition since Ancient Rome. Many cultures believe that when you blow out the candles, they carry the prayers to the heavens through the smoke. Some others also believe that the Germans started the tradition of adding birthday candles to cake to symbolise ‘light of life’. There is a certain amount of joy that everyone feels while blowing out birthday candles and this tradition has come a long way and is here to stay. Scent up your Home Traditionally candle sticks have been used to bring light. While they still provide light, they are also used as a home décor accessory with coloured, designer candles and scented candles. A scented candle adds a beautiful fragrance to your home creating a relaxing environment. A great tip to using a scented candle is by placing it on a table or a cabinet and away from anything flammable. It would also be good to place these candles away from the reach of children.
