Styles and Types of Candle Rings

Candle rings are decorative bases that are used to hold candle holders or the candle itself. They are often used as decorative candle centerpieces at weddings and other special occasions and events.

You can find a large variety of candle rings at your local craft store. Usually this kind of candle ring is created from a circle of faux flowers that make a garland around the candle. Popular choices are fake ivy, fake mini roses and fake baby’s breath.

Beaded candle rings are a new trend in candle holders and are often made of plastic crystals or faux pearls. These kinds of candle rings come equipped with a base that holds pillar candles or votive candles stable within the decorative circle. Pearl candle rings come in all colors including black, pink, white and gold. Pearl candle rings are particularly suited to bridal, wedding and baby showers. Crystal candle rings come in every color of the rainbow and suit everything from a baby shower to a cocktail party.

You can also purchase holiday candle rings for christmas candles made of plastic or fabric. Usually these candle rings mimic the foliage and berries of the holly plant. You can also make your own candle ring by stringing real holly or mistletoe together and placing it at the base of a scented red or green candle.

Crocheted candle rings are also a popular item and can be purchased or made yourself from a pattern. These reusable items are fitted at the base of the candle and feature motifs such as holly and berries, bows and hearts.

With a little imagination and inspiration it is easy for you to make your own candle ring using smaller fruit such as kumquats and grapes, ribbons, lace and flowers and foilage from your own garden.
