DIY Decorating Tips with KasseL Candles

Are you up for a DIY decorating weekend?  Do you plan to add a little something extra to your living room, dining room or bedroom?  You're in luck because we've listed a few candle decorating tips that we hope you find useful when you tackle your decorating project.


The use of candles as home decor is easy with the KasseL candles around.  It's fun. It's fast and anyone can do this with little or no help at all. What's even better is that KasseL candles have embedded decorations so you don't really have to do so much in making it beautiful.

Where to buy candles?

Now, first thing's first.  We need to select the right candles.  Candles are available everywhere.  You can buy it from the local pharmacy or gift shops, but you will find the best range and cheapest prices by buying candlesonline. Go through the different designs available and pick some depending on the room you want to decorate and the look you want to achieve.

Tips for decorating with candles

Try to choose candles with varying heights like the KasseL Utraglow and Natureglow candles.  The candles are available in small, medium or large sizes.  Or you can put some candles on candle stands to create a dynamic feel. There is so much more to see when candles are arranged that way.

Using Mirrors to enhance the Candle light

Using a mirror is an effective way of enhancing your candles.  Your candles will be able to throw off more light if used near a mirror.  If there are no mirrors in that room or corner, try using a candle in a glass jar or container like the KasseL aquagel candle.  The glass container and the botanical inclusions shows off the candle light in an interesting & decorative way.

Mix Candle height, size, colour, and designs

Have fun mixing up the candle colors and designs.  Getting pillar candles with different heights creates a dynamic feel of space and having several colours and designs makes for eye candy!
Now that you have chosen candles with different variations in size, color and decorations, you can now put them together.  I like to start off with a round tray and a vase of your favorite flower.  Then you can arrange the candles on the rest of the tray.  This will make a good centerpiece on your coffee table.

Other props….

One other thing that I love to use are vase gems or beads.  I like to scatter them on the tray after arranging the KasseL Ultraglow or Natureglow candles.  Try varying the sizes and the colors of the beads or you can just stick to one type.  Do whatever works for you but let me tell you, there's something different about the glow of the candles with the gems around it.

Admire your decorative artistry!

Candle decorating is something enjoyable and surprisingly revelating.  It brings out the artist in you when you thought you didn’t have one.  Try experimenting on different textures, materials, arrangement until you find the one that shows off your personality more.  Then you can step back, light the candles and enjoy your masterpiece.

Wedding Bliss with KasseL Candles

I love weddings.  I think they are special and very romantic.  Most couples have a candle lighting ceremony in their weddings.  The unity candle being the symbol of the essence of the wedding ceremony is lit by the couple as a sign of their unity.  Together they will share their lives, loves, joys and sorrows.  The candle light representing how you light up each other's world wiping out all the darkness.  It represents warmth that you feel because of your love for each other.  It gives you a sense of direction as it draws people together reminding you that your love for each other is your binding force.

Isn't that romantic or what?

Candles are versatile.  They can easily fit in anyone's wedding plans.  You can use it for lighting, centerpiece and even as weddding favors especially if you have an aesthetically beautiful candle like that of KasseL candles. 

Candles as Wedding Decorations

The KasseL ultraglow and natureglow candles are made in Egypt, all handmade and decorated with flowers, dried fruits and spices.  Because they are aesthetically beautiful, they can make great wedding centerpieces.  Arrange a few candles in varying size in the middle of a round tray and surround it with a few flowers and decorative gems and you will instantly have an amazing centerpiece for your reception.

Locating candles at different corners around the room can add to the romantic atmosphere.  It's nice to put a few candles on the bar, buffet table and even the wall sconces.  If there is a mirror inside the reception area, it would be great to add a few more candles there.  Mirrors enhance the flickering effect of the candle light which adds to the romantic ambiance that you want to go for.

Decorative Candles as Wedding Favors

Just imagine how your guests’ faces will light up when you give candles as a wedding favor; more so if it’s a KasseL candle.  Many will be enchanted by its beauty.

Candles are romantic and its one great way of spreading romance to your guests.  They can use it as a decoration or light it on their romantic evenings.  Choose candles that match your color scheme or choose a decorative candle that is in line with your theme be it a formal wedding or an informal one at the beach.
