Taper Candles

This is a classic! If you are celebrating holidays, having a traditional meal, or you just love the old times, you need an appropriate atmosphere, and taper candles will be perfect for that. They are sometimes called dinner candles; they are thin and tall, often wider at the base and narrowing toward the top. The most common size is 1/2 or 7/8 inch in diameter and concerning length - they can be from 6 to 18 inches long; regular sizes are 9 and 12 inches.

They are either made in a mold, or they can be made by the traditional method of dipping a length of wick into hot molten wax. Another method is to roll a sheet of beeswax around a wick, forming a taper.

They need to be seated into a fitting taper candle holder which can be the perfect and practical candle accessory, but also, since they come in many varieties and materials, they can be a perfect accessory for your home decor.

For a romantic dinner, taper candles are mandatory if you want the "high-class touch" or the spirit of old times surrounding the two of you and creating a beautiful atmosphere. Just try it, and you'll see for yourselves.

Besides coming in various colors, taper candles come in different designs. For example, some can have a hollow design that creates a glowing crown as they burn.
