How to buy Advent candles? Advent candle guide
Advent is a magical time of the year. We traditionally celebrate the time of joyful waiting for Christmas by lighting four candles. One each week of Advent. And so we go from one to four Advent candles lit at the same time in the last week before Christmas. Which Advent candles are best?
The most popular Advent candles
Traditionally, for Advent we choose block candles, usually in the shape of pillars or a ball. Of course, Christmas colors dominate - from rich red and burgundy, through subdued greens, rich shades of gold and silver and classic white. However, nothing stops you from choosing Advent candles in elegant navy blue or deep purple.
Advent sets are a proven way to decorate
You can feel free to use our ready-made Advent sets, which contain four candles. These will either be candles of the same height and diameter (so-called votive Advent candles) or candles in a graduated set, where each candle has a different height. Of course, nothing stops you from creating your own Advent set by composing any candles from our offer. Remember to buy a candle stand that will ensure safety and comfort of use.
How to choose Advent candles?
When purchasing Advent candles, it is worth paying attention to the burning time so that the candles last as long as we want. An important aspect is the selection of an appropriate holder for Advent candles, which will ensure not only a beautiful appearance of our Christmas decoration, but also safety of use. When placing Advent candles on a stand, remember to maintain an appropriate distance between them (according to the manufacturer's recommendations). Candles placed too close together will create too high a temperature and the candles will melt instead of burn evenly.
What to use instead of classic Advent candles?
Instead of classic pillar-shaped Advent candles, you can also choose votive candles that you can place in glass candlesticks. Scented candles are a good solution that provides not only a cozy, festive atmosphere, but also a beautiful scent. Advent calendars with scented candles and scented waxes are also very popular.
