General Candle & Care Questions
Are your candles dripless?
These candles are designed to be drip & smoke resistant, with a slow, even burn when burnt in the correct conditions. So what are these conditions:
- Flat, stable surface inside & away from any wind source e.g breeze, air-conditioning vents, fans, open doorways or windows.
- When grouping candles be aware to seperate by at least 5cm apart, as if burnt too closely together can cause candles to drip, collapse or increase their outlined burn time
- We recommend a candle wick of 2mm-4mm. A trimmed wick makes for a clean slow burn.
Do your candles have a scent?
All our candles are scent-free. However, there may be a faint wax smell if you get up close.
How do I store my candles?
Our candles can be safely stored long-term without fear of warping. Although our candles are built to withstand temperatures up to 50C, we still recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
During storage, your candles may produce a light dust covering. Simply wipe the frosting off with a soft cloth.
Can I get a custom colour candle?
Coloured XXL Tapers, Cathedrals & Pillars can all be ordered in custom colours & sizes. However there is a MOQ of 200pcs & a turnaround time of up to 18 weeks. Please contact us through the Custom Colour Order form.
There is a light dust over my candles. What should I do?
We always recommend polishing your candles before using them.
This is a naturally occurring film more prominent on our coloured range of candles due to the natural candle dyes and waxes.
The best cleaning technique is by using an old pair of stocking/tights over your hand carefully & delicately motioning up & down the candle.
Alternatively, a soft cloth will do the trick and gently wiping the candles up and down. Please be careful with the amount of force applied during this motion as the candles are delicate & fragile.
How do I clean wax off my Plated Candle Holders?
Plated Candle Holder Care Instructions:
To remove cooled candle wax, gently heat the wax using an electric heat gun set to low. Once the wax softens, carefully wipe it away with a paper towel or a soft cloth. For a polished finish, use a polishing glove after cleaning.
Important: DO NOT using multipurpose cleaners, as they can strip the lacquer and damage the holder’s finish. DO NOT use a heat gun on crystal glass holders.
How do I clean wax off my Crystal Glass Candle Holders?
Crystal Glass Candle Holder Care Instructions:
To remove cooled candle wax, place the holders in a plastic bag and freeze them for 2-3 hours. After removing them from the freezer, gently lift the wax off with your fingernail. For a polished finish, wipe the holders with a paper towel and a high-quality glass cleaner. Always spot test any cleaner before full use.
Important: Do not expose crystal glass holders to sudden heat, such as using a heat gun or dropping them in hot water, as this can cause the glass to crack.

How many candles do I need for my wedding tables?
Designing your wedding tables can feel overwhelming — we get it. With so many elements to consider, it’s easy to overthink things. But when it comes to candles, they’re one of the easiest and most impactful styling choices you can make for your wedding day.
No matter where you place them, candles instantly add intimacy, romance, and a timeless glow to any table setting.
Before deciding how many candles you need, the best place to start is your floor plan. We always recommend planning table by table, then scaling from there.
Here are some quick guidelines:
- A standard long banquet table is 2.4m (L) x 1.2m (W) and seats 4 guests on each side
- Allow 60cm per guest for comfortable seating
- Factor in any flower arrangements — will they be low and lush, or tall and dramatic?
- Will your caterer be serving shared platters or grazing dishes that require space in the centre?
- And of course: how tall would you like your candles to be? (46cm–76cm is most popular for centrepieces)
We recommend styling each table individually, then multiplying that layout across your floor plan. You can adjust for:
- Cake and bar styling
- Gift tables, welcome tables, or isle markers
Pro tip: Always add 10% extra to your total candle count to account for edge styling and last-minute adjustments.
If it all still seems overwhelming (which don't worry, thats totally normal!) We have designed 16 different pre-styled wedding bundles to help you take the guesswork out of styling your tables.
Each set is designed for wedding tables of all shapes and sizes, and includes our signature XXL taper or pillar candles, holders, and optional glass sleeves — all carefully curated for maximum visual impact.
Looking for a bespoke touch? We also offer a personalised styling service to bring your wedding candle vision to life. Whether you're planning an intimate coastal elopement or a 300-guest black-tie reception, we’ll guide you through everything from candle height to colour, quantity, and holder selection.

How do I stop candles from dripping at my wedding?
Are our Candles Dripless? Here's What You Need to Know
Our premium real-flame candles are made with one of the most drip-resistant wax formulas on the market, specifically designed for weddings and high-end event styling. However, it's important to note: no candle is 100% drip-free.
What causes candles to drip?
- Airflow & Wind – Even if your event is indoors, strong airflow from industrial air conditioning, ceiling fans, or open windows can cause wax to drip.
- Candle Angle – The taller the candle, the more important it is to ensure it's standing perfectly upright. Even a slight lean can cause uneven burning and dripping.
How to Prevent Candle Drips at Your Event:
- Use Glass Sleeves – Glass sleeves protect the flame from drafts and create a controlled burn environment, especially useful in venues with airflow.
- Keep Candles Straight – We recommend using our candle straight wax dots to help secure candles upright in holders, especially for taper and cathedral sizes 60cm and above.
- Opt for Flameless LED Candles – For wind-prone or safety-sensitive venues, our real-look flameless LED candles offer the same romantic glow without any mess.
What size candles should I use for my wedding tables?
Choosing the right candle heights for your wedding tables can dramatically impact the atmosphere and visual styling of your reception. At Hall of Flame, we offer 7 different candle heights to suit every table type, event layout, and styling mood.
Our real-flame taper and cathedral candles are designed for luxury weddings, and can be layered for dimension, drama, and all-night burn performance.

46cm candles - Our most popular height for wedding reception tables
60cm candles - Adds centrepiece height and drama without blocking sight lines
76cm candles - Best suited for long banquet tables or large-scale styling
90cm candles – Great for aisles, statement tables, or behind head tables
100cm candles – Creates architectural, runway-style impact for ceremonies or grand entrances
How to Choose the Right Candle Height for Your Wedding:
- For tables where guests will be seated for most of the evening, we recommend starting at 35cm or taller. This height allows for extended burn time (ideal for weddings lasting 6+ hours).
- Use 3–5 different candle heights per table to create a romantic, layered candlelight effect that photographs beautifully.
Whether you’re styling long banquet tables, round guest tables, or a grand aisle, mixing candle heights is one of the most effective ways to elevate your wedding décor.
