Set a few lavender floating candles on water and the light doubles, flame above and reflection below. This set of three large, unscented floating candles is made for bowls, centrepieces and still-water displays where colour, movement and a quiet glow matter more than fragrance. Lavender light on water The soft lavender colour brings a gentle, restful mood to a table, bathroom shelf or evening garden setting. Each candle is shaped to sit on water, so the flame moves slightly as the surface shifts. The smooth, rounded form keeps the look simple and clean, especially in a glass bowl. Because they are unscented, they suit dinner tables and ceremonies where perfume would feel too much. Add petals or greenery around the water if you want a fuller centrepiece, while keeping the flame clear. Paraffin wax, dipped in colour These floating candles are made from paraffin wax and dipped in colour for their lavender finish. The look is calm and understated, with a clean surface that lets the water and flame do most of the work. How to float and burn them Place each candle on still water in a heatproof, stable vessel, leaving space between the candles and the sides. Light the wick once the candle is settled on the surface. Keep away from draughts, curtains, leaves and anything that could catch fire. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and remove any remaining wax from the vessel once it has cooled. Where they feel most at home Use them for a dinner table centrepiece, a wedding arrangement, a bath-side ritual or a quiet evening in the garden. They are especially lovely where the vessel can catch the reflection, such as clear glass, glazed ceramic or a dark bowl of water. Floating candles in ritual and celebration Light on water has a long place in ceremony and celebration. In Thai Loy Krathong, small decorated floats with candles and flowers are released on water as an act of gratitude and reflection. In many home settings, floating candles are used more simply: to mark a meal, soften a room, or make a temporary centrepiece that is beautiful because it will not last. The charm is in the movement, the reflection and the small pause it creates. Size, burn time and details Set of three large floating candles. Lavender colour. Unscented. Made from paraffin wax.

A gentle gift for gatherings A thoughtful choice for someone who enjoys hosting, decorating a bath, or making a table feel more considered. The lavender colour makes them well suited to weddings, spring gatherings, birthdays and quiet evenings at home. Common questions What kind of container should I use? Choose a heatproof, stable bowl or vessel with enough room for the candles to float freely without touching the sides. Can I use them outside? Yes, in a sheltered spot with still water. Wind can disturb the flame or push the candles against the edge of the vessel. Can I add flowers or decorations to the water? Yes, as long as anything you add is kept clear of the flame and does not crowd the candles.
