when purchasing the less common 4x6 pillar candles There are A few things to remember
The 4x6 pillar candles are a little larger than what you will commonly find. The most common pillar candles are usually 3" in diameter and anywhere from 4" to 9" in height. It is possible to find pillars with a 4" base in a variety of colors, although you will find that other sizes of pillar candles are offered in a greater selection of colors. The same applies if you are looking for a scented pillar. 4x6 pillar candles are offered as scented candles, but the number of different scents you will find is limited.
Since 4x6 pillar candles are a little larger than average you will want to ensure that the holder you purchase will be large enough to hold your candle. Most stores list the size of the holder so it is easy to determine if the holder is the right size. Some store will even have links to appropriate holders on the same page as the pillar candle that you've selected. You can also use small plates and bowls with a larger bottom as holders, just make sure that the candle sits flat. Decorate the plate with stones, flowers or any small ornament.
Making Your 4x6 Pillar Candles More Decorative
One way to make your 4x6 pillar candle more decorative is to put a candle ring or wreath around the base of it. These can be made of flowers or vines and have berries or beads as accents. You can also very easily make your own, just go to a craft store to get the supplies you need. Be creative and personalize your pillar candle wreath anyway you like. Try stinging some small ornaments and beads on a piece of ribbon. The possibilities are endless. This is an excellent way to decorate for the holidays, a little wreath can spice up your regular decor making it festive and warm.
If you don't have a lot of time to decorate for a special occasion or holiday pillar candles can save you a lot of time. With the variety and holiday designs that are available a cluster of candles on a table or side counter can give a room a festive feeling. Placing different sized candles, a 4x6 pillar candle and a 3x8, with each other creates variety and can create an interesting contrast. Complimentary colors or solid colors mixed with multi-colored candles is also nice. One common element between the candles will tie them together, whether it is one common color, the finish on the candles, diameter or height.
