Why Candles Are Romantic

To say that candles are not romantic is like having Christmas without Santa Claus or better yet, having Christmas without the story of Ebenezer Scrooge.  Here’s why.

We have 5 senses that provoke thoughts and feelings which in return help to create memories.   Within these memories lies the magical romance that lasts a life time. 

Could you imagine Christmas without Santa Claus or a Christmas tree?  The word Christmas provokes thoughts and feelings of gatherings with your family and loved ones.  The magical aura that comes about from watching the glow of the Christmas lights.  The special gleam on the face of your loved ones on Christmas Eve.  The festive parties, and the beautiful tables decorated with candles and food that look absolutely beautiful and smell so delicious.  

When the word romantic is said, the following thoughts come to mind

Candle light dinner for two.

Relaxing with wine and candle light.

A bride and groom lighting their unity candle.

A romantic soak in the tub softly lit by candle light.

Beautiful holiday meals with gorgeous centerpieces that glow from the soft light of taper candles.

A trail of rose pedals and votive candles softly lighting the way to a romantic retreat.

A wedding reception or black tie affair romantically lit up by the soft glow of candles.

Candles simply bring a magical, romantic atmosphere to just about any occasion.  The flicker of the candle light presents a simple glow that you cannot get from anything else.

Now, I guess you could be like Ebenezer Scrooge and say bahumbug.  You could even argue that using candles for a romantic occasion actually could create a fire hazard.  Or you could say that drinking wine by candle light could actually relax you to the point of going to sleep and a fire could start.  Which you would be correct. 

However, using caution and properly burning candles, you might just find yourself in the same situation as Ebenezer.  Remember the magic that happened when Tiny Tim touched his heart?  Ebenezer had a life changing event that happened on Christmas which resulted in him sharing dinner with Tiny Tim’s family, guess what?  It was by candle light.

Simply stated, candles bring a magical, romantic glow to any occasion.  The ambiance of the glow from the candles flame, creates a memory that will last a life time in the eyes of the beholder.
