Dinner Candles 21 Pack Rustic Sea Blue

A set of 21 solid colour dinner candles in Rustic Sea Blue — a cool, calming blue with the slightly weathered, matte quality that the rustic finish gives. These are traditional hand-drawn paraffin dinner candles, made in the UK. Each candle stands 203mm tall with a 21mm diameter, burns for approximately 8 hours, and is completely unscented. The set comes in a decorative display box with a magnolia flower cut-out design. Why This Colour Works Sea blue is one of the most versatile candle colours for home use. It reads as calm and elegant without being cold, and suits both modern and traditional table settings equally well. Works alongside white, cream, grey, and natural wood tones. It also pairs naturally with coastal, nautical, or Scandinavian-inspired interiors where blue is already part of the palette. A year-round colour that doesn't feel tied to any particular season. It's as fitting on a summer table as it is during a winter dinner — the blue shifts in mood depending on what you put around it. Eight hours of burn time per candle. Twenty-one candles per box gives you enough to dress a table generously on several occasions. Completely unscented, so the colour does the work without any fragrance competing with your meal. Paraffin Wax, Cotton Wick, Hand-Drawn Solid-colour paraffin wax with a cotton wick, made using the hand-drawn technique. The colour runs through the full candle, not just the surface, so it remains consistent as it burns down. The rustic finish gives a slightly textured, matte appearance — softer and more natural-looking than a high-gloss candle. Getting the Best Burn Trim the wick to roughly 10mm before each use. This keeps the flame steady, reduces smoke, and minimises dripping. Avoid placing candles in draughty spots — near open windows, fans, or air vents — as moving air causes the flame to flicker and burn unevenly. Standard dinner candle holders with a 21mm fitting work perfectly. Snuff rather than blow to extinguish. Styling and Occasions Sea blue candles set a tone that's composed without being formal. Three in a row on a white tablecloth creates a simple, striking look. For a more relaxed setting, pair them with driftwood, shells, or linen in neutral tones. They work well for seaside suppers, christenings, winter dinner parties, or any gathering where you want atmosphere without heaviness. Mixed with white candles from the same range, the effect is clean and airy. Box and Dimensions Twenty-one candles per box in a single colour. Display box features a magnolia flower cut-out window. Individual candle: 203mm tall, 21mm diameter. Burn time: approximately 8 hours each. As a Gift The display box is designed to be presentable without rewrapping. Sea blue is a safe, appealing colour for gift-giving — it suits most tastes and most homes, and doesn't require the recipient to have a specific décor style to make use of it. Common Questions What shade of blue is this exactly? A medium blue with cool, slightly grey-green undertones — closer to a muted ocean tone than a bright royal blue. The rustic finish adds a natural, weathered quality. Will these fit standard candlestick holders? Yes. The 21mm diameter is the standard taper candle width in the UK and Europe, so they fit all standard dinner candle holders and candlesticks. How do I prevent dripping? Trim the wick to 10mm, keep the candle away from draughts, and use a snug-fitting holder. Some dripping is normal with paraffin dinner candles, but these steps significantly reduce it. What other colours are available? The range includes Rustic Lime Green, Rustic Taupe, and several other shades, plus a Mix of 7 Colours set. All use the same candle specification and display box.
