Decorative Pillar Candles

Our collection of pillar candles provide a simple, elegant way to bring warmth and light into your home. With offerings from classic white to uscented or flameless, each is crafted to offer a timeless look and clean, beautiful burn.

What is a Pillar Candle?

Pillar candles are distinguished by their freestanding, cylindrical form, crafted from solid wax that holds its shape as it burns. Unlike candles that require a jar or container, a pillar is designed to burn down into itself, emanating light without the fear of dripping. This sturdy, self-contained design makes them a long-lasting and classic decorative element, perfect for every setting and occasion.

How to Burn a Pillar Candle?

For the best experience, always trim the wick to a quarter-inch before each use to ensure a steady, soot-free flame. Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax pool to reach the edge, which prevents tunneling and extends its life. We recommend starting the first burn of a large pillar candle during an afternoon in or an evening hosting - any stretch of a few hours when you know you'll be home and can enjoy their luster. Place it on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts to enjoy a clean, even burn from start to finish.
