Taper Candles & Flameless Taper Candles

Taper & Tall Candles

Taper candles are a beloved staple in home décor and event styling. These long, thin candles are elegant, and versatile, and add an instant touch of warmth and sophistication to any space.

What are taper candles?

Simply put, taper candles are tall and narrow cylindrical candles that gradually decrease in width towards the top. They can be made from various materials such as beeswax, paraffin wax, or soy wax and come in a variety of colors and scents.

How do you style taper candles?

Styling taper candles is a fun and creative process. You can use them to create a dramatic centerpiece for your dining table by arranging them in different heights and placing them in a decorative gold candle holder. Mix and match candle colors with decorative napkins, elegant plates, and vibrant glassware. Taper candles also work well in minimalist and modern décor, simply by placing them in sleek holders or using them to add a pop of color to a neutral space.

How long do taper candles burn?

On average, taper candles can last anywhere from 6 to 12 hours, depending on the size and quality of the candle. Be sure to keep your taper candles away from drafts and make sure they're standing straight to ensure they burn evenly and last as long as possible.

How do you make a taper candle stay straight?

It's all in the placement and support. If your candle is tipping or leaning, try wrapping the end with a bit of aluminum foil before setting it in its holder. This will give it additional stability. Alternatively, you could also melt a little wax into the holder and then position your taper candle in it while the wax is still soft. As the wax hardens, it will secure the candle in place. With these little tricks, your taper candles will not only stay straight but also create a beautiful, long-lasting ambiance in your space.
