There is one member of my dinner tablescape formula that remains a constant regardless of the time of year or the theme of the event, and that's taper candles. They bring a soft glow to your dinner setting and are a romantic finishing touch. But they can sometimes be the harbingers of stress when secured incorrectly.
You can't just pop your best candles in a row of holders and call it a day. If you're like me, then you'll just spend the rest of the evening worrying over your tapers tilting and maybe falling over. To avoid this disaster, I recommend using these Reusable Secure-Hold Wax Dots from Biedermann & Sons.
