Holders for votive candles come in many shapes and designs. Best of all most of them are extremely inexpensive. They can be found somewhere around one to two dollars apiece and less if you are buying in case lots. Purchasing 12 or 72 or even 144 at a time will bring the price down and give you quite a few holders to work with.
Some of the unique ideas seen for sale are custom votive candle holders that are frosted or colored and then have a custom design or engraving and are used as favors or remembrances of a wedding or special birthday or 50th wedding anniversary. A very classy, great way to remember the special occasion.
Another interesting holder is the hurricane holder and as the name says it is shaped like the globe on a hurricane lamp. The rounded shape adds elegance to any gathering and they can be found in clear glass or if you want softer light in a frosted opaque glass. The hurricane holder also can be purchased in one of two sizes. They are a smaller holder that the votive candle can almost peak out of or a larger holder that encompasses the entire candle.
Other shapes are square or even triangular holders that can complement any table setting or decorating scheme. Round is not the only holder available. Another shape is the flower pot holder that is a thicker glass and perfect for light on a patio or deck. It emulates a clay flower pot, but is clear glass. Use it with a citronella votive candle and even keep the insects away while you enjoy your evening.
Votive candle holders even come in a crackling mosaic finish and for an even fancier holder come as gilded jewel toned glass with extravagant designs to accent the candle inside.
