Although I love burning candles year round, I definitely think cooler weather makes me think to light them more often. Yesterday evening was cool and a little breezy, so we opened our windows. I lit all the candles in our apartment and the breeze + the scent + the warm look of the flames was so nice!
I think candles make great decor, especially when grouped together with other candles and trinkets. It makes for very elegant and romantic decorations.
Here’s some gorgeous candle displays to inspire your decor.
I love the idea of candles in your fireplace, via Cupcakes and Cashmere. I’m going to try this this winter as long as our cats leave the candles alone!
Peony, Paris, mercury glass, candle. Have you ever seen such a chic “throne”? Via A Girl, A Style.
Use an empty wine bottle as a candle stick. Let the wax drip for a cozy effect, via danheller.com.
I love the look of a cluster of varying-sized candles in monochromatic color. Via Better Homes and Gardens.
These quartz candle holders via VivaTerra are on my must-get list!
Do you love candles as much as me?
I love candles, and more so when it gets chilly out too! I’m feeling inspired to hunt down some new pretty candles now.

I LOVE what Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere did with the candles in the fireplace! So cute
That would be a great idea for ours when we aren’t using it!

i’m a big candle fan as well! i always go for florals – peony, jasmine, gardenia…but you are right about the displays, they are tough with cats!!

I too enjoy candles. I usually go for the food/coffee smells since I too light them up more often when its chilly. Great ideas!
