Features and types
The catalogue available on L'Arcolaio is divided into five product families, each with declared sizes and packaging designed for multiple arrangements. In total there are 70 active references, all available.
Tapered candles and stick candles
Tapered candles have a base diameter of 2.2 cm and come in three heights: 25 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm. Packaging ranges from 10 to 12 pieces. Colours in the catalogue include white, ivory, silver, black, red, lavender and cream. The Tapered Candles D 2.2 cm H 30 cm 12 pcs in White and the Lavender version are among the references with immediate availability. Stick candles (Ø 0.9 cm H 37 cm, 12 pcs per package) are the slim and elegant version — available in sky blue, dark pink and ivory — suitable for narrow candlesticks and contemporary-style table centrepieces.
Cylindrical pillars
Pillars have a sturdy and stable body. In the catalogue you'll find them in four main diameters — Ø 4 cm, Ø 5 cm, Ø 6 cm and Ø 7 cm — with heights varying from 7 cm to 25 cm. Packaging ranges from 2 to 12 pieces. Colours cover both neutral shades (white, ivory, silver, cream) and trend tones: dusty blue, powder pink, lavender wisteria, green olive, kiwi e red for the Christmas season. The Pillars Ø 7 cm H 10 cm in Cream (4 pcs per package) are an example of a compact format suitable for shelves and console tables.
Sphere candles
Sphere candles are available in two formats: Ø 3 cm (20 pieces per package) in gold and silver, and Ø 6 cm (6 pieces per package) in white. The soft profile is well suited to decorations for christenings and communions, where you're looking for a delicate effect without overly structured elements.
Floating candles
Designed for vases, bowls and decorative fountains, floating candles are available in the format Ø 4.5 cm H 2.7 cm in packages of 20 pieces. Available colours include burgundy, red, dark pink, navy blue, lavender and cream. They are very popular for wedding table centrepieces: a glass bowl with floating candles creates an immediate scenic effect without requiring special equipment.
Tealights
The Tealight Ø 3.6 cm H 1.7 cm (25 pieces per package, 5 hour burn time) are the practical solution for lighting long tables or corridors at a reception. They are sold with a transparent cup, ready to use. For those setting up events or ceremonies, the multipurpose package makes it easy to manage large quantities.
How to choose the right candle
For the centrepiece of a wedding or christening
If you're looking for an elegant and coordinated effect, combine cylindrical pillars of the same diameter in different heights — for example Ø 7 cm H 10 cm together with Ø 7 cm H 20 cm — or choose floating candles in glass bowls. Cream, ivory and powder pink colours suit ceremony palettes with neutral tones. For a christening or communion, sphere candles in gold or silver add a festive touch without looking heavy. If you're pairing candles with the ceremony candles already on your list, check that the colours are coordinated.
For Christmas decorations
Red and silver pillars are the most suitable for the Christmas period. Tapered candles in ivory pair well with Nordic-style decorations in natural tones, whilst silver versions work on tables with metallic accessories. The 25-piece tealight package lets you light your entire table with continuity. To complete a Christmas table, you'll find coordinated accessories among the EDG Enzo De Gasperi candles and the scented and decorative candles available on L'Arcolaio.
To choose the right package
This brand always sells in multiples, from 2 to 25 pieces per format. Before buying, calculate how many candles you need: for a table of 10 people with 2 pillars per pair, 4–6 pieces are enough; for a setup across 20 tables with floating candles, a 20-piece package is the starting point. On L'Arcolaio quantities are shown in the title of each product, so you avoid surprises. If you're also wrapping bonbonnières, a matching box is available among the boxes and gift packaging.
Frequently asked questions
Are the candles from this candle maker scented?
The range includes both unscented candles (pillars, classic tapered candles, spheres, floating candles) and aromatic variants, such as tapered candles and pillars in the lavender shade. Check the product sheet for each specific reference, where the detail is indicated in the description.
What colours are available for cylindrical pillars?
The palette is wide: white, ivory, silver, cream, red, navy blue, dusty blue, powder pink, lavender wisteria, green olive, kiwi and black. Some shades are available only in certain formats: check availability in the product grid above.
Can I use floating candles for an outdoor ceremony?
Floating candles are designed for water containers (vases, bowls, decorative fountains). For outdoor use it is advisable to use them in wind-protected containers. Tealights in transparent cups are more resistant in semi-open sheltered environments.
Are tealights sold with or without a candleholder?
Tealights (25 pieces per package) include a transparent cup, so they're ready to use without additional accessories. Pairing them with a decorative candleholder improves the visual effect, especially on ceremony tables.
How do candles from this range pair with other elements of the Christmas table?
For Christmas, pillars in red and silver pair with centrepieces, stars and garlands. Tapered candles in ivory work with natural and Nordic palettes. To complete the table you'll find coordinated accessories among the Jasmine EDG Enzo De Gasperi candles and, for ceremonies, ceremony candles on L'Arcolaio.
