Candles with no Flames: LED CANDLES

When I hear the word “candle” my first thought goes to romance. Candlelit dinners, cozy fireplaces, camping with a bonfire. These may be some of your thoughts too. Candles may definitely be something you want to play an important role in wedding and reception.

Due to many fire laws in different towns however, “open flames” are not allowed. This means no candles on the tables, not candle lit lanterns along the path, etc. But don’t despair​. We have the perfect solution for you! 

LED candles have finally come into their own. What started as a fad with the only option being a LED votive has truly exploded into an entire industry. Everything from tapers in different lengths to pillars whether they be short or tall or round or square, to even votives - LED candles have become very accessible. Some tapers have a tip that looks like a flame and the light actually flickers for a more realistic feel. 

There are not only many styles of LED candles available but they are also commonly available battery powered. This is a major benefit if you want to use them as part of a centerpiece on your tables. There are no cords to run or trip over. 

In addition, many of the manufacturers are now also designing them with remote controls. This is a major time saver. Instead of having to go to each and every candle to turn it on at the proper moment (to save battery life) all we have to do is hit the button on a remote control and all the candles turn on!

Because LEDs need very little power, a single battery lasts for an entire event. Add to that the fact that many of the batteries for LED candles are rechargeable. On top of that, batteries, when disposed of properly, can now also be recycled!

This technology is not just a great way to add romance while staying safe. It is a very “green” technology that is ecologically responsible. We like to call this a win-win technology. It frees us to create the ambience you are looking for, within existing laws, and while also being responsible to the environment.
