What are Pillar Candles?
As the name implies, pillar candles are tall and sturdy. If you want candles with a long-lasting burn and striking look, pillar candles are probably your best choice. Varying in height, thickness, number of wicks, and color, these candles typically use denser wax which means you get a longer burn.

How to Decorate with Pillar Candles
Perhaps the greatest benefit of pillar candles is their exceptional versatility when it comes to decoration. Because they come in a variety of heights and widths, you can bunch different sizes and colors together to make a stylish statement on hearths, table centerpieces, side tables, window sills, and more.
And that’s just the start. Even though they can stand on their own, you can match them with any number of holders, jars, and vases to create artistic pieces that stand out lit or unlit. If you want to go big, you can! A single large pillar showcases the color of your choice and allows the candle to stand tall literally and figuratively.
