From prosperity to fertility, good health to good luck, green is a colour that’s rich with positive associations. Across the world, through various time periods and across different cultures, it’s symbolised renewal and deep connection to nature. It makes sense that green candles can help turn a space into a tranquil escape from the outside world, giving any event an earthy, centred feel.
So where should you use green candles? From nature-themed parties and events to private meditation and study sessions, these candles are nothing if not versatile. But there are some occasions where they really shine, helping to set the perfect down-to-earth mood.
Hall of Flame provides quality candles Australia-wide in all kinds of colours, including lush shades of green. We also have candle accessories like antique candle holders dedicated to setting the scene at your special event. If you’re looking for an original choice of candle colour that won’t overwhelm the atmosphere in your home or at your event, here’s why you should go green.
Why choose green candles?
In a busy world, taking time out for peace, quiet and tranquillity is essential – and so satisfying. You may not be able to get away into nature, but green candles can provide you with a relaxing escape even in the middle of the city. Green candles cross time periods and cultural boundaries to universally represent positive traits like luck, prosperity, growth, healing, new beginnings and balance. The colour green has a calming effect on the mood and reduces anxiety, which makes it a natural fit for a candle colour.
The best events for green candles
While green candles can provide a unique touch to just about any event or setting depending on your tastes, there are some occasions when they really shine including:
Dinner parties and harvest meals
Green candles promote feelings of abundance and gratitude, and make for a rustic yet elegant set-up when paired with other elements like herbs and fruits. This makes them a natural addition to dinner parties and gatherings, particularly harvest-themed dinners that celebrate the bounty of autumn.
Housewarming parties
Green is a symbol of growth and renewal, which makes it perfect for housewarmings and other events that celebrate fresh starts.
St. Patrick’s Day
Green candles provide a subtle yet fitting way to celebrate Ireland’s foremost patron saint on March 17. Green is the traditional colour of choice for the day, and a few green candles helps set the mood for festivities.
Garden parties and outdoor events
Green is traditionally a nature colour, so it makes sense to bring out the green candles when you’re basking in the beauty of nature. Take a few green-coloured candles out into your garden to help ground you in the tranquillity of the great outdoors.
Rituals and spiritual gatherings
Green candles have long held spiritual significance and been associated with religious rituals and magic. Green is associated with the heart chakra and contemporary spiritual practices often include green candles in rituals to attract prosperity and success. Whether for a Reiki therapy session or a private meditation, green candles can help create a calming atmosphere that clears the mind so you can focus on your practice.
Weddings
Green candles can make for a distinctive yet understated presence at weddings, particularly when two devoted nature lovers are tying the knot. As green candles signify the cycles of nature, they provide an excellent way to subtly celebrate such a significant new beginning.
