What is a votive candle holder?

It is meant for holding a votive candle. One holder accommodates a single candle. It is usually cylindrical and made of glass, crystal, ceramic, wood, or metal. They diffuse candlelight, adding a soft and cosy feeling to the room. From minimal and clean designs to fancy and elaborate ones, holders come in lots of different designs and colours.

What are the uses of votives?

Votive holders are not just a practical addition to your room; they increase your decor’s aesthetic too. They help make votive candles the centrepiece of the room. Let’s take a look at some of their uses:

Decoration and Ambience

Don’t forget candle holders when decorating your home. Bare candlelight is mellow, but when it gets filtered through a holder, it becomes even softer and more romantic, adding to the inviting atmosphere. The material of the holder, whether glass or metal, helps reflect the candlelight, adding a sort of shimmer to the room. We have votive candle holders in plenty of styles. All you have to do is find the ones that work with your house’s personality.

Extended burn time

When you light votive candles, they melt inside the holder itself. This melted wax continues to power the wick, helping the candle burn up to twice as long. In fact, the votive holder protects the candle from drafts, which also extends burn time. And because of the holder, the wax melts evenly around the wick, so there is no tunnelling and wastage.

Safe to use

Since the melted wax is contained inside the holder, you don’t have to worry about spillage or cleaning. It reduces the risk of wax accidentally dropping on someone’s hand. Sometimes, after a candle has burnt more than halfway, it tips over. That won’t happen when you place it in a votive candle holder. And when the candle reaches the bottom, it will go out on its own.

FAQs

What is another name for a votive candle?

Votive candles are also called prayer candles, since they are used while praying. Sometimes, they are also referred to as vigil candles, devotional candles, blessing candles, or offering candles. The names might differ, but they all reflect the significance of the candles in spiritual settings.

How to use a votive candle?

The first step is to place it in a votive candle holder of your choice. This will help the candle burn for a longer duration and will avoid wax spillage all over the surface. Take care that the candle fits snugly inside the holder. That’s it. Just light it and enjoy the warmth it spreads.

Can you reuse votive candle holders?

Yes, absolutely! They can be reused an endless number of times. Once the candle has burnt all the way, clean out the remaining wax, and just place another votive candle in it. Be careful as you clean: use a soft cloth and no abrasive chemicals. Refill the holder every time the candle is finished. If you don’t want to use it as a candle holder, get creative — grow a small plant in it, use it for flower stems, or store small knick-knacks like makeup brushes and jewellery.

How many hours does a votive candle last?

Votive candles typically last from 8 to 15 hours, depending on their size and the fit of the votive candle holder. A snug fit helps the candle to liquefy completely, increasing its burn time. It is suggested that you let the candle burn all the way through and fully liquefy, instead of blowing it out sooner. Also, soy votive candles generally last longer than paraffin ones.
