Because votive candles are available in different widths and heights, make sure the votive candle holder you choose is designed to fit that particular width: using a holder that is too large or too small for the width of your candle makes it difficult to stand the candle straight and can create a fire hazard.

Using a votive candel holder that is the proper size also maximizes the burn time for the candle.

When choosing candle holders for your candles, remember to choose candle holders that work with your existing design and home décor.  Select votive candle holders that complement or enhance the color and style of your home and the intended use of the votive candle.
