A floating candle is a charming wax light designed with a flat, rounded base and 100% cotton wick—carefully weighted so it displaces enough water to stay afloat when gently lowered into a bowl, vase, fountain or pool. Often unscented and drip-free, they offer a long-burning, smokeless glow—typically 4–5 hours for 2″ candles and up to 8–10 hours for 3″ sizes. Their simplicity is their elegance: just fill a clear vessel with water, place one or more candles on top, add decorative elements like flower petals, stones or foliage, light the wicks, and enjoy a serene, romantic ambience. Floating candles are versatile and budget-friendly—perfect for weddings, spa-like home settings, outdoor water features, or intimate dinners. Their reflections dance on the water’s surface, creating a peaceful, elegant focal point that elevates any atmosphere
