These 6 inch taper candles are made at our factory here in the U.S.A. We overdip a white taper candle in our unscented colored wax to create all our vibrant tapers. The outer wax coating melts at a higher temperature than the inside making these dripless taper candles. Our short taper candles are sold by the pair which are joined together by the cotton wick. These small taper candles have a standard size base and burn at a rate of a 1 to 1.5 inches per hour.
I used these candles for the tables at my wedding. They burned super quickly and we didn't expect it. We lighted them at the beginning of cocktail hour and by the time we joined the party as the bride and groom, they were all halfway gone already! That being said, the color was so vivid and amazing, it was exactly the feel I wanted. Upon taking them out of the box, I felt like the color was darker than the picture, but once we got them into the light and especially when we lit them, the color was really brought out!
