Scents of Spring

Winter has melted away and spring is in full bloom! Welcome in all things sunshine and springtime with wonderful spring candle scents that will freshen up your home with the scent of flowers, fruits and more. Read more on why spring is a great time to decorate with candles in fresh spring colors and scents.

Shades and Scents of Spring

If you haven’t heard, Living Coral is the color of the year, and it makes a great color for decorative candles that can be used from spring to summer. You can also look beyond Pantone’s pick and choose any spring candles that feature your favorite pastel colors or any shade that evokes a light and bright feel. Think yellows, pinks, lavenders, light blues and cream colors to evoke a spring feel while adding a subtle pop of fresh decor to your home.

To further welcome in spring look for spring candle scents that are floral and fruit based. Floral candles such as white jasmine, rose, wisteria, lavender and lemongrass can give your home an airy, garden-like quality which is fantastic after months of winter stuffiness. Other scents to look for are those that emulate citrus fruits and fresh flavors such as lemon, peach, honeydew and classic vanilla. Just don’t go overboard by combining too many scents in a single display or even room. Stick with one or two complementary scents to avoid an overwhelming aroma.

Spring Setup

A wide selection of colors and scents is just the start when it comes to candle selection. You can also choose from different shapes and sizes to add visual interest to your space. Pillar candles are excellent as they work well for so many different centerpieces. They can be placed in plain glass hurricanes where you can let the spring colors and gentle warmth of the candle shine or you can use them in a more elaborate setup such as a custom-made centerpiece. If you want a designer look, consider using a box of grass with small glass candle holders as your dining centerpiece. Classic arrangements for spring pair your favorite spring blooms and candles of the same scents. Play around with light greenery, small colorful blossoms and cream candles on a platter for a truly stunning spring candle display.

What are you waiting for! Light a few candles, close your eyes and feel spring all around you!
