Let Scented Candles Set the Mood for Someone Special

There are a lot of things you can do to set the stage for a romantic evening or afternoon with someone special. You can dim the lighting, set out your finest china, and cook a delicious gourmet meal. You can play soft, romantic music and pick out a funny movie to bond over later in the evening or afternoon. You can also set out scented candles for the added touch to your romantic atmosphere.

The scent and color of your selected candles should correspond in some manner to the romantic environment you are planning. For instance, if you set a vase of red roses in the center of the table, you could choose a rose scented candle. If you are creating a bright, sunny environment for an afternoon of fun, you could choose a yellow candle with a sweet scent.

If you know your loved one’s favorite color, you could go with candle arrangements featuring candles, flowers, and stones in that color. Include complimentary colored candles to create a more elaborate table setting that will set the mood and draw the attention of your special someone to the table.

Candles can also be used to sweeten up the bedroom, bathroom, and even an outdoor patio or deck for this special encounter. You can sit in comfortable chairs and enjoy the glow of the flickering candlelight while taking in the fresh air from a screened porch or back deck. Add your loved one’s favorite drink, a little hand-holding, and hours of entertaining conversation.

Before you set off to add candles to your must-have list of supplies for an upcoming romantic get together, take these final tips for creating a kissable environment for someone special:

1. Position candles of different heights and widths in close arrangement to add impact.

2. Place smaller candles inside glass globes or decorative holders to ensure they do not tip over and look beautiful.

3. Do not place candles near drapes, the edges of tables, or in other positions that may cause a fire while your attention is directed toward your loved one.

4. Coordinate scents throughout your home so you do not have competing scents from room to room.

Take these tips and put together a beautiful evening or afternoon that your loved one will never forget.
