Enhance Your Next Get Together With Scented Candles

Whether your next get together is to celebrate a holiday, a family event, or even to have friends over, then using scented candles is a great way to make your guests feel welcome. Some people think that these candles are overpowering or intrusive, but if they are used the right way, they can add an element of intimacy and warmth to your home that few other things can. If you want to add the inviting glow and pleasing scents of these candles to your next party, then the following tips can help you.

One of the most important things to remember when you’re using scented candles is to make sure that you choose only one or two scents and that they don’t overwhelm your guests. You must select them carefully and make sure that they blend well together and don’t clash. Some of the most alluring and pleasing scents are those that are actually opposite of each other. You can mix spicy with sweet, fruity with herbal, and so on. One scent that is most compatible with others is lavender, and it is also calming and inviting, which is the perfect atmosphere for any get together.
If you’re hosting a Christmas party, then you can use pillar candles of different heights to create a timeless look that your guests will appreciate. Mixing a baking scent like gingerbread or peppermint with a scent such as pine will create the ultimate holiday scent and fill you home with smells that everyone will instantly associate with a cozy home at Christmas. There’s no better sensation for a weary guest who’s been traveling for days than to step into a home and be welcomed by warm and inviting smells like these, so when it comes to decorating your home for the holidays, using scented candles is a great choice that all of your friends, family, and guests will enjoy.
