Votive candles are the little powerhouses of cozy vibes—they’re small, but they bring a lot of warmth and charm. Here’s everything you might want to know about votive candles:

• Size: Typically around 2″ tall and 1.5″ wide.

• Burn Time: 10–15 hours, depending on quality.

• Shape: Short and cylindrical.

• Usually Used With: Small glass or ceramic holders—they’re designed to melt into a liquid pool while burning, so they need a container.

• Mood Lighting: Scatter a few in holders across a table, shelf, or mantel for a soft, glowy atmosphere.

• Event Decor: Perfect for weddings, dinner parties, or holiday centerpieces.

• Spiritual or Memorial Use: Often used in churches or home altars.

• Aromatherapy: Scented votives are great for small-space fragrance (like bathrooms or bedside tables).
