I'm buying these as table favours – how long would you typically expect a votive candle of this size to burn for?

Paraffin wax votives, such as the Fenland Wax Co. Ivory Wedding Favour Votives, will burn for approximately 15-20 hours on a single wick, provided it’s allowed to burn fully until the wax has melted down to almost the metal reservoir. This varies slightly with ambient temperature.

The description mentions the ivory finish – what sort of embellishments would you recommend to add a more personalised touch?

Because these votives are plain ivory, you’ll want to add your own finishing touches. Consider using ribbon, twine or decorative tags to create a bespoke presentation for your wedding favours; this will complement the neutral colour and add a professional, celebratory look.

About this candle

Unscented by design, which matters more than it sounds for table favours — a scented votive fights with the food and flowers at a wedding breakfast. The pack works out cheaper per candle than buying singles, though the plain ivory finish means you'll want your own ribbon or tags for a finished look.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Fenland Wax Co. Ivory Wedding Favour Votives use paraffin wax, which produces a clear, bright flame suitable for votive candle formats. The flame strength will depend on the size of the room and any drafts present; generally, they’ll burn well in a space up to 20 square metres, but larger spaces might benefit from multiple candles.
