Can I use candles as the main decoration on wedding tables?

Candles are a classic choice for table decor because they create a soft, romantic glow that flatters everyone. To make them the main feature, arrange clusters of pillar candles, votives and tealights along the centre of each table. Mix heights using simple holders, such as glass cylinders or brass candlesticks. Keep the overall look balanced so guests can still see each other across the table and talk easily. You might add greenery or flower petals around the bases for colour. Check with your venue before the day about open flame rules. Some venues only allow candles in enclosed holders, or they may ask you to use LED alternatives. If you choose real candles, place them away from table edges, napkins and any low hanging decorations. Light them just before guests sit down, and have someone on hand to check them during the meal. For a safe and simple approach, use a mix of real and LED candles so you get the glow without the worry.
