The Perfect Gift For Mum This Christmas

The Perfect Gift For Mum This Christmas

Your mother is undoubtedly the rock star in your life. She’s sweet, protective, and fierce when she needs to be. She always has your best interest at heart and puts your needs above all else. Just like all of us, she probably spent the last Christmas in quarantine and isolated from you and all her other loved ones. This year is a great time to give her the best Christmas ever. But what is the perfect gift for mum this Christmas?

A Guide to Candle Fragrance Notes And How They Work

A Guide to Candle Fragrance Notes And How They Work

Many fragrances and scent combinations are derived from blending natural essential oils. Many scents may also be created by combining synthetic oils and natural oils, simply because nature does not provide such a scent. However, once a candle is lit these fragrance notes will often change depending on what type of wax is being used in the candle and what the candles burn time is.

Aussie Christmas Decorating Tips

There are a lot of great things to be said about celebrating a summery, Southern Hemisphere Christmas. The long daylight hours, summer holidays, post-turkey siestas… it’s easy to love an Australian Christmas. To add a touch of summer to your Christmas decorating this year, you don’t need to resort to kitsch, surfing Santa ornaments. Just blend your favourite summery themes, such as the beach, with Christmas! We’ve compiled a few ideas to get you started.

Bush flowers

Floral wreaths, eucalyptus garlands and other floral decor abound at Christmas time. For an extra Aussie flavour, how about making a Christmas wreath out of artificial native flowers? Holly and poinsettia are great – but a Christmas centrepiece or wreath featuring kangaroo paw, banksia, waratah, wattle or eucalyptus garland is an original take on festive decorating that will give your décor a uniquely Australian flavour.

Tropical Christmas

Colour palette

Ornaments in the right colour scheme can really help pull your take on Christmas decorating together. If your Australian theme runs to the tropical, you might want to consider a palette in hotter colours. We’ve pulled together an outdoor Christmas table above based on turquoise and burnt orange, and added bright decorative bird picks for a fun tropical touch. These colours also compliment arrangements made of native flowers. Choose Christmas baubles in beachy colours like blue and green, or keep to a sandy-inspired silver and gold theme. Silver and gold baubles in copper trays below, are perfect for a laid-back and casual table display.

Shells

It’s not an Aussie summer without the beach – and nothing says the beach like shells do. There are plenty of ways you can blend beachy motifs with your Christmas decorations. For example, make a Christmas tree ornament by gluing some festive ribbon to a large shell and then decorating it with smaller shells, pearls or beaded florist wire. You can glue shells directly on to baubles or ornaments, or do as we’ve done here and add larger shells to metallic or satin cord and wrap it around your Christmas candles. Crushed shells also make a great anchor for candles displayed in glass containers. It also means a lot of the pieces you’re investing in can be used year-round!

Aussie Christmas

Scented candles

Anyone can tell you that scent plays a major part in setting the right atmosphere. Just like there are perfumes that are best worn during a certain season, different scented candles suit different times of the year. When making Christmas centrepieces and decorating your house for Christmas, choose candles with light scents that work with (rather than against) the smells of summer – for example, coconut. Browse our range for some of the best scented candles Australia offer!

There are loads of opportunities to incorporate Australian elements into centrepieces, table settings and other decorations. Let your imagination run wild and please share your results!

Summary

  • Decorative candles are one of the most cost-effective ways to decorate an event space.
  • Consider the position of your candles and what candle holder materials would complement the rest of your décor.
  • Tealight, votive, and pillar candle holders are the most popular choices for event decoration.
  • If decorating a dinner table with candles always choose unscented candles as the aroma from the candles won’t interfere with the smell of the food.
  • Unlike tealight candles that are contained in a cup, votive candles are bare and will burn onto the surface of the holder.
  • Pillar candles are designed to burn inwards, making them great for church services and event spaces.
  • LED Candles have a beautiful natural glow and are safe to use in any event display.
  • Adding decorative sand or stones to the bottom of your candle holder can help stabilise the candle.

Decorative candles create an ambience of natural light that invites a peaceful calm into any event. They are also one of the most cost-effective ways to decorate an event space. But with a huge selection of candle holders to choose from, how do you select the right ones? This helpful guide will explain the different selections of candles holders, and give you some simple styling tips to help inspire you.
