This pillar candle inside of a rose bowl is an instant success. If you are in a hurry this is a quick way to brighten up the table for last-minute guests.

Generally, any size or shape pillar candles look good in the middle of a centerpiece. They may be single or multi-colored; the key in making a beautiful centerpiece is to ensure that the colors are all in the same family.

Here we have a nautical theme in warm colors. Sand is poured into the rose bowl, the pillar candle set in the middle and surrounded by seashells. This lookes beautiful with or without the additional decorations around the rose bowl.

So, you get the idea. A blue candle could have been used with white and blue or darker shells. Place this in the center of your table, and all of your friends will wonder what lovely little boutique you found such a centerpiece!

Instead of a rose bowl, choose a shallow bowl or dish and place any tall, thick candle in the center of it. Place your chosen objects around the candle in the dish. At this point, the possibilities are endless.


A quick and easy way to have a collection of things that go together is to purchase pre-sorted bags of potpourri. Choose a candle, dish and potpourri with complementary colors. If you want a permanenet arrangement, use hot glue to attach seashells, pinecones or large bows to the dish, leaving room in the center for replacement pillar candles.  Working within the basic framework of pillar candle, dish and assortment, the possibilities are truly endless.
