In your main event space, incorporate candles into your theme. Using lots of candles creates a candlelight soiree – be it a romantic dinner for two, a tasteful meal among friends, or even for a larger audience.

Have candelabras of varying heights on every table, window ledge, mantle and surface – use candles of different shapes, sizes and scents all around the room. If there is a fireplace, light the fire and place pillar candles of varying heights all around the mantle and hearth. The flicker of flames is so captivating that it pulls the mind, body and soul together; to forge better human interaction.

If your space is one that will not allow open flames – you can now get LED candles with flickering flames too.

Charge up the atmosphere by dimming the lights and having coloured up-lights along the walls for an even better ambiance.

Have fresh flower arrangements in your candelabras with lots of roses, red roses to be precise, as red is a traditional symbol of passion and romance. Fresh flowers bring a natural scent to the room that sensitizes your guests even further.

Have a string quartet playing your favourite tracks in the background. Nothing says romance like chocolates! A chocolate fountain is interactive and can come in different colours and sizes suited for any event. The smell always creates a nostalgic reaction – I mean who doesn’t understand the language of chocolate!

Whatever you do, make it about you – enjoy the process.
