Add enchanted lighting via floating candles

Lighting is one of the simplest and cheapest ways of making both indoor and outdoor spaces enchanting with little effort. This is because casting light in the perfect manner can create ambience, spark, and even a bit of fun depending on what type of event you are attempting to add a little spice to. One perfect vehicle for accomplishing this perfect type of ambience is floating candles.

Floating candles have the ability to be used for many occasions from wedding centerpieces, to baby shower decorations, to table centerpieces in general at an open casual party to simple use on a pool or on the patio. The method in which you choose to display them simply depends on the mood you are aiming to create; here are just a few examples.

As a centerpiece floating candles are a great way to create an eye catching effect. All you need to do is take a clear vase of glass bowl and the candles clearly catch people’s eyes. For an even strong enhanced effect add some crystals, stones, and shells. Of course, you can just allow them to float in water or add a mirror under the vase in order to add an extra effect.

If you have a pool and are planning on some early spring or late fall parties, you may consider using your pool for decoration since swimming is out of season. Before you put any floating candles into the pool, make sure that you turn off any waterfalls or other areas they may drift under and of course turn the filter off. The shine of the candles off the water will bring an incomparable look to your outside patio area.

Finally, if you want a quick casual way to spice up an outdoor party and you do not have a pool or some vases lying around consider grabbing some shells from a party store and set them around your porch or patio along sand so they stay in place. Add a floating effect and you will have a simple beach atmosphere without spending much or putting forth too much effort.
