Best Floating Candles That Brighten Your Parties

The 3-inch floating candles from Ryal Imports are a multipurpose quality solution. These candles are made of the highest quality wax and will burn bright and steady for 8 hours straight, which makes them perfect for long ceremonies and parties. Or you can just use them as long as needed, then put out the flame and store the candles till you need them again—they will not lose their qualities between uses. The wicks are cotton-core, making the flame clear, odorless, and smoke-free. A special solution the manufacturer claims to soak them in makes the candles start burning in an instant when you bring the flame close.

The candles are round and will fit into a wide mouth glass or mason jar, a vase. Beautiful installation can be made in a bowl with several candles and flowers, petals, water-polished stones, or any other decorative elements that come to your mind. These installations will become the jewels on your celebration table among the dishes of delicious food.

Besides the festive occasions, these bulk floating candles will also come in handy when the power in your house is cutoff due to any circumstances (for example, bad weather, an unfortunately frequent occurrence lately). Since they burn long and bright, you can easily use them as emergency lights till the sun comes out. Just remember to keep them away from anything flammable, you don't want to set your curtains on fire, do you?

The wicks here are made of cotton, they don't leave smoke as they burn. You might want to keep an eye on them, though, as due to the shape and for aesthetic purposes, the wicks are just long enough to burn and might go out closer to the end of the cycle when the candle is nearly finished.

The candles themselves are a bit on the large side, they make 3.5 inches in diameter so keep that in mind when you choose the vessel for your decoration; they won't fit into most regular glasses but a vase might have a mouth wide enough.

The Bolsius bulk floating candles are made of wax and have cotton wicks and they will burn for approximately 5 hours continuously.

These are not wax candles but plastic flameless ones. The great thing about them is that they fear neither water nor wind, which make it possible to use them outdoors regardless of weather conditions. When traditional candles become useless due to even a bit of wind, these little floating LED candles will save the day (and your party). For the very same reason, they make the best floating candles for pool parties in summer—when you're not just partying beside a pool but jump in and make waves and splashes, hardly any flame can survive a direct hit with water, right? Now you have something better.

The lights are exactly candle-shaped, they even have the "flame" part, the very same part that will light up upon touching the water. Yes, you've read this right—no need to push any switches or anything like that, thanks to the special technology, these floating LED candles turn on automatically upon contact with water and turn off when you take them out. They use CR2032 coin batteries that you can find in stores when you need a replacement. By the way, these candles will operate for up to 70 hours before you do need to replace a battery. That is, if you use a good quality battery, of course. The default color of the candles is white, though the manufacturer does offer them in blue and in yellow as well.

Mysticism. Spirituality. Eternity. Reincarnation. Purity. These are the most widespread meanings of the lotus flower. Valued and praised even in ancient Egypt, lotus has come to have mainly religious meaning. That is why it is mostly used for all kinds of ceremonies instead of parties. From birth to coming-of-age, wedding to death, lotus can accompany a person throughout their whole life. If this flower is significant to you, you will love these floating LED candles.

There are 7 plastic candles in the set, all in different colors: white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. For each candle, there is a silicone loop to cover the bottom—this way, no water will get inside the pieces so the mechanisms will stay safe. The candles light up when laid on water so no switching or pushing the buttons is necessary. However, do not submerge the whole candle in water since the parts not protected by the silicon loop are not waterproof.

The candles use CR2477 button batteries for power and offer a very candle-like show, complete with the flickering light not unlike the real flame. If you do meditation, these will be great companions as you make your journey inside your inner universe. However, they also make lovely decorations for a romantic dinner ending with a marriage proposal.
