Dinner Candles Set 21 Pack 7 Colours

A set of 21 solid colour dinner candles in seven colours — black, deep pink, red, white, lemon, holly green, and orange — presented in a decorative display box with a magnolia flower cut-out design. These are traditional hand-drawn paraffin dinner candles, made in the UK using the classic drawing technique where wicks are repeatedly dipped into molten wax and slowly built up layer by layer. Each candle stands 203mm tall with a 21mm diameter and burns for approximately 8 hours.

Why These Work Seven colours in one box means you can style a table with a single shade, alternate colours for a playful look, or let guests choose their own. One purchase covers multiple occasions and moods. The 8-hour burn time comfortably covers a long dinner party, an evening gathering, or several shorter uses across different nights.

Three candles per colour gives you flexibility without waste. Unscented by design — they won't compete with food, flowers, or other fragrances in the room. If you want ambience without aromatics, these are the right choice.

The display box doubles as gift packaging. The magnolia cut-out design is detailed enough to look considered, sturdy enough to protect the candles in transit, and presentable enough to hand over without rewrapping. At 21mm diameter, these fit standard dinner candle holders, candlesticks, and candelabras.

No adapters or trimming needed. Paraffin Wax, Cotton Wick, Hand-Drawn Each candle is made from solid-colour paraffin wax with a cotton wick. The hand-drawn process — a traditional method where the wick passes through molten wax repeatedly — produces a consistent, even candle with a smooth finish and reliable burn.

Paraffin burns cleanly when the wick is properly trimmed, producing a steady, bright flame with minimal dripping. The colours are solid throughout, not surface-dipped, so the candle looks the same from first light to last. The seven colours in this set lean toward classic entertaining tones: black for drama, white for formality, red and deep pink for warmth, lemon and holly green for seasonal tables, and orange for something a little more playful.

Getting the Best Burn Trim the wick to roughly 10mm before each use. A shorter wick produces a steadier flame, less smoke, and reduces the chance of dripping. If you notice the flame getting tall or flickering heavily, extinguish the candle, let it cool briefly, trim the wick, and relight.

Place candles away from draughts — open windows, fans, and air conditioning vents all cause uneven burning and increase dripping. Use a proper dinner candle holder with a snug fit. If the candle is slightly loose, wrap a small piece of tissue or wax around the base to secure it.

Extinguish by snuffing rather than blowing to avoid spattering wax. Dinner Candles as a Category Dinner candles — sometimes called taper candles or table candles — are the tall, slim candles designed to sit in a holder at table height. They've been the standard table candle across European dining for centuries, and the format hasn't changed much because it doesn't need to.

The narrow diameter keeps the flame at eye level without blocking sightlines across the table. The steady, unscented burn adds warmth and atmosphere to a meal without interfering with food. These particular candles use the hand-drawn technique rather than moulding, which is a more traditional and slightly more labour-intensive method.

The result is a denser, smoother candle with a more consistent burn profile than mass-moulded alternatives. Box and Dimensions Each set contains 21 candles — three of each colour — in a single display box. The box features a magnolia flower cut-out window that shows the candles inside, making it suitable for display on a shelf or countertop as well as for gifting.

Individual candle dimensions: 203mm height, 21mm diameter. Burn time: approximately 8 hours per candle. For the Table, For a Gift The mixed set is a practical gift for someone who entertains, has just moved house, or simply enjoys candlelight at dinner.

It's also a good starting point if you're not sure which colour to commit to — seven options in one box takes the guesswork out. For weddings, dinner parties, or seasonal tables, having a range of colours on hand means you can match the candles to the occasion rather than the other way around. Common Questions Will these fit my candlestick holder?

At 21mm diameter, they fit all standard dinner candle holders and candlesticks. This is the most common taper candle width in the UK and Europe. Are they scented?

No. These are completely unscented, which makes them suitable for dining tables where you don't want fragrance competing with food. How do I stop dinner candles from dripping?

Trim the wick to 10mm before lighting, keep the candle away from draughts, and use a holder that fits snugly. Some dripping is normal with paraffin dinner candles, but these three steps significantly reduce it. What colours are included in the mixed set?
