Colored Candles, A Burning Question

It's Good Friday, and the church candles got me to thinking.


All the colored candles flickering looking so pretty.


With Easter tables to be set everywhere, I wondered how many of you might use colored candles.


I used all white or cream candles for years and years. Classic and always appropriate.


Then I started using black candles. I know, I know, you think it might be too witchy ha ha. But actually black candles look as good as a little black dress. Their only drawback is the melted wax that drips. It stains!

I like these gray-ish lavender candles.

Red candle wax is pretty fierce too.


And I don't know about glitter candles ha ha.


In fact I have used metallic candles during the holidays, and I can't remember if the wax was an issue.

So what do you think about colored candles?


Are they as controversial as skirted tables? Or cord covers?

Do you remember the skirted table issue?

When you see them in a store display beckoning you like a huge box of crayons, it's hard to resist!


You just want to try them out, even though using white candles is fail safe. But beware, because there's a fine line to walk.
