wedding wednesday: candles

One of my faaavorite things is when people put candles in and around their fireplaces.  It creates such a soft and romantic feeling, and it is just so chic and elegant.  I thought this would be perfect for a "wedding wednesday" post because let's be real: candles are used at pretty much every wedding under the sun.

Creating a candle display in your fireplace is suuuper simple - just set up the candles inside however you see fit.  However, there are a few different variations on this approach, and a few different ways to jazz up this style.

You can simply set them on the floor of your fireplace...



...or you could elevate them with a candelabra.



You can place candles both in and around the fireplace to give off more light...


...or place a mirror behind them to reflect the glow.


Lastly, you can keep your logs in the fireplace, but surround the mantle with candles...


...or you could use the logs as candle holders and put both items inside!

So, these are just a few examples of ways to display candles around your fire.  What other ways can you think of?
