10 Best Flameless Candles UK 2024 | Luminara, Lights4Fun and More

Purchase your pillar as a single or in a set, choosing between identical heights or varying sizes that appear half-used depending on the look you want to go for. Both would suit multiple situations, from a row in a festive window display to a table centrepiece or simply placed around a large room for a wedding or party.

Select whichever pack size you require for your display, but if you are looking for a realistic taper candle that will be positioned right in your guests’ line of sight, we would suggest going for one with a semi-hidden flame. That said, the larger protruding flames are usually brighter, so they may look better in a window or on a shelf.

This means they're a much less wasteful and more eco-friendly option too, and can be purchased in large multipacks if you do want them for an event. There are also tea light-style votive candles to consider, which are the slightly higher two-inch kind used in churches. 

Any of these shorter candles are also a wonderful substitute for use at home, whether you normally use them for a pampering bath at the end of the day or as a way to gently light your bedroom or living room on an evening.
