Candles make your wedding look and feel like a dream come true. A universal symbol of love, romance and new beginnings, candlelight creates a warm, enchanting atmosphere perfect for weddings and small but personal events. Bulk candles can save you money and take a lot of hassle out of candle shopping. But with a world of options on the market, how do you ensure the candles you buy are right for the event?
Hall of Flame is a leading provider of premium candles in Australia, including bulk and wedding candles. With a combined 15+ years’ of experience in the entertainment industry in London, New York and across Australia, we understand what goes into creating stunning events and unforgettable memories.
Although bulk candles are typically associated with wholesalers, purchasing a set of pillar, antique, votive or tealight candles in bulk also provides a convenient way to organise lighting for your most special and personal events. This is the Hall of Flame guide to finding the best bulk candles.
What are bulk candles?
Bulk candles are candles purchased in large quantities for any events where a high volume of candles is needed. As a result, you pay a lower price per candle than you do when you buy individually or in small sets. When you need to provide candlelight for a large event and would rather stick with a supplier you can trust for all your needs, bulk buying is a sensible choice.
There are many different candle styles that can help set the mood at your wedding or event. Purchasing them in bulk ensures a consistent quality, theme and mood across your event.
The best candles for weddings and special events
There’s a lot to consider when you plan the style and aesthetics of your wedding: the venue, the theme, the décor. Here are some suggestions for you and your wedding planner (if you’re using one) for how different styles of candles can enhance your wedding, function, romantic dinner, anniversary celebration or other small-scale intimate event:
Pillar candles
Tall, strong and extremely versatile, pillars have a commanding presence and a long-lasting burn. These candles are known for their wide, self-supporting bodies that eliminate the need for candle holders. Available in several colours and styles to suit whatever wedding mood you’re aiming for, these candles make for a stylish addition to the floor of the room and look striking and gorgeous on tables surrounded by arrangements of flowers.
Taper candles
Taper candles are tall, slender and graceful, perfect for a wedding with a vintage feel or for setting an elegant mood. Distinctive for the way they gradually taper from bottom to top, taper candles create the perfect ambience for everything from religious rituals to low-key events. Hall of Flame has the tallest tapers in Australia – the XXL range, which burn for up to 36 hours.
Votive candles
A popular choice of candle for prayer and religious settings, votive candles have long burning times but a petite size. They’re ideal for creating a warm, ambient atmosphere that doesn’t detract from the room’s other stylistic elements. Because of their variety and versatility, they’re perfect for mixing up with other kinds of candles in an eclectic ensemble.
Tea light candles
The smallest wedding candle offerings you’ll find on the market, tea lights still create ample atmosphere whether you’re using them to enhance the available natural light or arranging them in a garden pond to twinkle. Small and circular, tea lights leave plenty of space on a table for decorations or dining.
The benefits of buying in bulk
When you know what you’re looking for and have a good supplier, bulk candles are a fantastic way to save money and make sure you find a deal that satisfies. The benefits of buying candles in bulk include:
Cost-effective
When you do it right, buying candles in bulk will always save you a significant amount of money.
Convenient
When you buy in bulk, you get a full set of candles for your event in one go, saving you the hassle of having to shop around to get what you need.
Consistent
What could be better than a complete set of candles that match in colour, shape, size and style, all ready to go for your wedding or event? When you buy in bulk, it’s easier to set the tone for a consistent atmosphere and visual style.
