Best Candle Light Dinner Essentials: For Romantic Evenings On A Budget
Candlelight dinners probably rank the highest on the aesthetical scale of dining. The warm ambience of dim lights brings to the dining flavoursome additions, and enhance the entire experience. However, you need not burn a hole in your pocket for this luxurious experience at a fancy restaurant! These dinners can easily be re-created at home with just a few items. Following are some of the suggestions from our side that'll help you through the planning of your dinner date!
Best Candle Light Dinner Essentials
1. Candles
As the name suggests, these fancy dinners revolve around the warmth of candles. Kick start your preparation with a pair of long-lasting candles that'll lit your evening with aromas of love. While plain tall candles can be used with candle stands, you can spice up the decor by using glass jar candles or tealight candles instead. To add to the beauty of your table, you can even use a gorgeous tea light candle holder. Place these beauties at the centre of your table.

2. Candle Stands
The gorgeous candles that are the life of the evening, may ruin the table below with molten wax. This is where the candle holders step in. These gorgeous stands not only protect the table from hot wax and subsequent stains but also add to the visual appeal of the table. You can alternatively decorate a holder yourself to add a personalised touch.
3. Rechargeable Lighters
When candles are spoken of, the mention of lighters and matchboxes is inevitable. Ensure safe lighting of your favourite candles with rechargeable candle lighters, which will not only help in lighting up the wick from a distance but are also environmentally sustainable. These portable lighters can easily be carried around on the go and make for a smart buy.

4. Bluetooth Speaker
Ambience plays a very important role in determining your dining experience. Transform your dining area into a paradise by playing in the background soft music using Bluetooth speakers. While you can always look up for romantic candlelight dinner music on YouTube or any other music application, another idea is to play nostalgic music and re-create your cherished memories together again. For a family candlelight dinner, you can even play any joyous sound recordings or the songs with inside jokes embedded in them.

5. Wine Glasses
To re-create the hotel experience at home, the selection of glasses and serve-ware is very important. While you might be tempted to use regular glasses, fancy ones are destined to enhance your experience. As aesthetic as a filled wine glass may appear, teetotallers need not worry; you can fill in your glasses with any mocktail, juice, smoothie or shake of your choice, instead of the traditional grape brews. Don't forget to click your glass with a “cheers” before starting with your cherished beverage!
6. Beautiful Plates
It is believed that half of the taste of any dish lies in its presentation and dinnerware. Add to the flavours of your favourite cuisine using gorgeous plates. While plastic, steel, and glass ones are also fine for the purpose, our suggestion lies to the side of ceramic plates, which are no less than an artistic canvas of flavours. Don't forget to add designer cutlery for aesthetics; we would suggest rose gold cutlery for a luxurious touch to your dinner.
