If you consider yourself a minimalist or prefer less-is-more party decor, there’s a candle display that’ll fit your aesthetic perfectly as a special centerpiece. A content creator sourced the simplest (yet still dramatic!) gem that will amp up table settings without overshadowing any delicious food. Unsurprisingly, over 12,000 people have since interacted with the post about this special holiday find. 

Amazon’s Dramatic Candleholder Displays 36 Tapers

“One of the coolest centerpiece candleholders I’ve seen,” Mallory Morris (@malloryonthemoon) wrote in a recent Instagram caption. Although the piece looks totally bespoke, it’s actually an Amazon find. It’s made by the brand Mumufy, and it has slots for 36 taper candles.

Because its design is so simple, you can create a totally custom look just by switching out your tapers. Keep it simple by choosing tapers in the same color, or give the piece an eclectic look by putting mismatched candles into the slots. Different heights could also be a fun detail to play with, and you could always opt for battery-powered candles instead of real tapers if you want to play it safe.

“Ohhh this is a need,” one person commented on Morris’ post. Another added, “This is just beautiful.”

“If you freeze your candles before lighting them, they won’t burn as quickly as they usually will when they are standing as close as here,” another commenter suggested. This tactic could help the beautiful centerpiece hold its flickering flames until midnight on New Year’s Eve!

The brand also creates a similar taperstick centerpiece with 18 slots, which could be a better option if you have a smaller dining room table. This version even comes in two wood tones, both priced at just over $30.

Your dinner party guests are going to be wow-ed by just how gorgeous this candle centerpiece is, and no one has to know that it’s an Amazon find rather than from a high-end brand. New Year’s Eve is going to be shiny and bright this year, thanks to this gorgeous display!
