The best candles for a cozy atmosphere of scented decorations

Candles are an essential part of many celebrations and are simply part of it. Whether birthday candles, beeswax candles, pillar candles , stick candles or tea lights - they simply set a beautiful mood and can be relaxing, romantic or even festive.

But it's not just the eyes that are spoiled by candles, the sense of smell also gets its money's worth. There are different types of candles, all of which have their own aroma, for example incense or vanilla, and give your home a pleasant atmosphere as scented candles , aromatic candles or scented candles in a glass.

What candle shapes are there?

With the right lighting, you can transport your home to a whole new world. Candles are available in many different shapes and sizes. The classic candles are either blunt or twisted candles.

• Pillar candles are perfect for those looking for a classic touch
• Taper candles are ideal for birthdays and other special occasions

• Provide tea lights for a cozy atmosphere
• Tapered candles look particularly elegant and are the perfect choice for a wedding
• Twisted candles are a good choice if you are looking for an alternative to traditional candles

All candles spread their warm, soft light, which makes the surroundings shine with their own magical glow.

How can you tell that candles are high quality?

There are a few things to consider when choosing quality candles. First of all, you should choose candles that:

• are made from natural materials such as beeswax or rapeseed wax , which come from local traders.
• The size and diameter of the candle also play a role in quality. Smaller candles tend to burn longer and give off more scent than larger candles. Last but not least, you should also pay attention to
• what type of wick the candle has. Cotton wicks are best because they are not as flammable as paper or plastic wicks.

Whether it's a romantic dinner date, a cozy family Christmas party or just a relaxing bath - you can always create the right mood with candles.

Which candles are sustainable?

• Beeswax candles are a sustainable choice because they are made from beeswax produced by bees. They are also biodegradable and do not produce pollutants when they burn.
• Candles made from rapeseed wax. Rapeseed wax is a sustainable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly raw material. It is primarily grown and processed in Europe, which keeps transport routes short. Rapeseed wax is genetically unchanged. At the same time it helps our bees as they love the nectar from rapeseed wax flowers.

Sustainable candles are usually slightly more expensive than traditional candles, but they offer added value for the environment and health. It is therefore worth investing in sustainable products.

Candles for baptisms, first communions or weddings. When do you take which candle?

Baptisms, first communions and weddings are all special occasions where a special candle is lit. A baptismal candle is usually lit at baptisms. This candle represents the purity and new life of the person being baptized. It can be given as a gift by the parents or grandparents of the person being baptized and should be kept in a special place.

For first communions, two candles are usually lit. The first candle is the communion candle , which is consecrated by the priest. It stands for the new life in Christianity and community with God. The second candle is the communicator's personal communion candle. This should be kept as a reminder of the day.

Wedding candles can be given by the bride and groom themselves or by friends and family. They symbolize the love of the bride and groom and should be kept in a special place after the wedding.

Birthdays and mourning are two very different events, but both require the use of candles. Birthdays are a reason for celebration, while mourning is a time of remembrance and commemoration.

Birthday candles are a sign of light and joy on birthdays. They bring warmth and happiness into the room and brighten the mood. Birthday candles are a great way to tell someone how much you appreciate him or her.

Candles are also very important in areas of mourning. They burn for the departed souls and remind us of the love we feel for them. Mourning candles are a wonderful way to be close one last time to our loved ones who have left us. They are also a beautiful reminder of the beautiful moments we had with them and thus give us comfort.
