Black taper candles are already a mood. These go further: light them and pink vampire tears run down the sides, so candles that started the night looking sharp and gothic end it gloriously undone.
It is the rare Halloween candle that satisfies the pink Halloween decor crowd and the gothic candles crowd at the same time, which is why it photographs so well against a dark cloth, pink pumpkins, and a lot of velvet. Set them out for a Halloween dinner party, a scary-movie night, or a tablescape that needs one element actually doing something. Use holders you do not mind, and put something underneath, because the drip is the entire point.
Keep the palette going with our Pink Halloween collection.
How many taper candles should you use on a table? Table stylists typically group tapers in odd numbers of three or five down the center of a standard dining table, or set matched pairs at intervals along a longer one. Varying holder heights and keeping flames clear of eye level is what preserves sightlines across the table.
