Guidelines for using candles
with our faux flowers
Candles can add warmth, romance, and elegance to any event, but when incorporating them with our faux florals, there are important safety considerations to keep in mind.
From venue regulations to table arrangements, ensuring the safe and seamless use of candles is essential.​
​
At The Lily Pipit, we have specific policies regarding candle use to maintain both the beauty and safety of our floral designs.
Candle Policy
No Tea Light Candles:
We do not permit the use of tea light candles with our faux florals.
​
No Open Flames:
All tapered candles must be enclosed in glass sleeves to protect surrounding décor and prevent them from being extinguished.​
Pillar candles and sand wax candles must be placed inside votives or glass cylinders to minimize fire risks.
​
Many venues also have their own candle restrictions, with open flames often not allowed.
If this applies to your venue, LED candles are a stunning and safe alternative, offering the same soft, flickering glow without the hazard.
Additional Considerations
​
Table Arrangements:
If serving banquet-style meals with shared dishes, ensure there is ample space by using fewer candles in individual holders.
When selecting candle sizes and quantities, consider the dimensions of your floral centrepieces.
Candles On The Floor:
Any real-flame candles placed on the floor must be positioned away from foot traffic and the dancefloor. (This restriction does not apply to LED candles.)
We recommend coordinating with your venue staff to remove any candles before the dancefloor opens.
Outdoor Use:
Only LED candles are permitted for outdoor settings during daylight hours.
By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the enchanting ambiance of candlelight while ensuring a safe and seamless experience with our faux floral arrangements.
