For events that take place outdoors or have prohibitions on open flames, glass candle sleeves are a simple and elegant solution. Glass sleeves protect your flame from being snuffed out by winds and air conditioning, protect your table linen and decorations from wax and protect your surroundings from fire dangers. Glass sleeves and cylinders are classy-looking candle accessories that help preserve the safety of everyone around you while letting your candle burn bright and magnificent.
There’s nothing like candlelight when it comes to setting the mood at a wedding, fancy dinner, function or other special event. But without a quality sleeve or holder, even the most high-quality, elegant candle can quickly become a fire hazard. Whether it’s igniting flammable materials or dripping hot wax onto tablecloths, an unchecked flame can wreak all kinds of destruction.
Hall of Flame provides bulk candles and glass sleeve hire throughout Australia to wedding planners, florists, event stylists, exceptional-quality retailers and the general public. Here’s our guide to the perks of glass candle sleeves and the kinds of events they suit the most.
Benefits of glass candle sleeves
There are many reasons glass candle sleeves can provide such practical additions to your special event including:
1) Safety
Glass sleeves provide a reliable barrier around open flames that prevent them from reaching hands and clothing. These sleeves also reduce the risk of fire and prevent wax from dripping on fixtures and surfaces, which also helps preserve the lifespan of these fixtures.
2) Aesthetics
Available in a range of different styles like clear, frosted and coloured glass, glass sleeves can suit all kinds of events from modern to retro to rustic. No matter the mood or the atmosphere, there’s a sophisticated glass candle sleeve that fits the mood of the occasion and looks fantastic.
3) Easy use and maintenance
Glass sleeves are among the simplest candle accessories available to take off and clean, use and re-use. Unless you have tough stains, all you need is a sponge and some soapy water. Using a glass cylinder is easy. Just make sure it’s slightly (3-5cm) taller the candle in the holder and make sure the sleeve is wider than both the candle and its base.
Events glass candle sleeves are suited for
Glass candle sleeves are perfect for any events that feature candles. Of course, this makes them incredibly versatile as candles can help create the perfect ambiance just about anywhere including the home. From the social to the sacred, some of the main events that you should consider investing in these sleeves for are:
1) Weddings
Candles are popular at weddings for the intimate, romantic mood they set. Not to mention how amazing photos of your cherished day look when they’re illuminated by candlelight. From votives on the altar to candelabras on the table, candles can elevate the look of any wedding. Glass sleeves keep the flame burning and protect the surroundings while taking nothing away from the look of the candles.
2) Galas, banquets and other dinner events
The elegant look of glass sleeves makes them the perfect fit for sophisticated dinner events, without having to deal with the mess of dripping wax.
3) Outdoor events
During garden parties, patio dinners and other al fresco occasions, glass sleeves prevent a strong breeze from snuffing out your candles.
4) Religious and cultural ceremonies
Candles are common in many religious and cultural practices around the world. Luckily with the right glass sleeve you can preserve the important parts of your tradition and ceremony while protecting the environment and the people around you.
