Tealight candles bring warm, intimate ambiance to any table without dominating the space. Maeva candles are affordable, compact, and versatile, making them a favorite for DIY centerpieces at home, parties, or small events.
Here are quick and easy ideas to create stunning tablescapes using maeva tealights, plus a few simple tips to maximize impact.
Classic Maeva Mason Jar Glow
● What you need: A batch of small mason jars, tealight candles, decorative filler
(sand, pebbles, or decorative rice), and optional ribbons or twine.
● How to use : Layer a thin layer of your filler in the bottom of each jar. Place a
tealight on top. You can add a few pebbles or shells around the jar’s base for
texture. Tie a color-coordinated ribbon around the neck for a finished look.
● How it works: The glass jars reflect candlelight, creating a soft halo. The filler
adds color and texture without needing extra florals.
Floating Maeva Tealight Candle Elegance (with or without water)
● What you need: Short tealights or floating tea lights, a wide shallow bowl or tray,
decorative elements (flower petals, citrus slices, herbs), and water or a clear glass
bead base.
● How to use : Fill the bowl with water or clear beads. Gently place the tealights so
they float on the surface. Scatter petals or citrus slices around to add color and
scent.
● How it works: Floating candles create a coastal or romantic vibe and work
beautifully as a centerpiece for beachy or garden-inspired tables.
Rustic Maeva Lantern Lighting
● What you need: Small decorative lanterns or lantern-inspired votives, tealights,
and a few sprigs of greenery.
● How to use : Mirror-length symmetry or a staggered cluster of lanterns on a table
runner or wood slice. Tuck a sprig of eucalyptus or pine around the lantern bases
for a natural scent and texture.
● How it works: Lanterns add height and structure, while greens soften the look.
This setup balances visual interest with cozy warmth.
Garden-Forward Maeva Floral Accent (tealight + stems)
● What you need: A shallow centerpiece base (tray or shallow container), glass
votive holders, tealights, and a few short stems (baby’s breath, eucalyptus, or small
dahlias).
● How to use : Place the votives in the tray, leaving space between them. Arrange
small stems around the holders, tucking them in so they don’t obstruct the candles’
light.
● How it works: The flowers provide color and fragrance without overpowering the
candle glow. The result is contemporary and airy.
Tiered Maeva Tea Light Terrarium
● What you need: A small glass terrarium or geometric glass container, sand or
gravel, moss, and a few tealights.
● How to use : Create layers inside the terrarium with sand or gravel, then place
tealights on top of a flat base (you can also use candle dishes inside the terrarium).
Add a touch of moss for greenery.
● How it works: It’s a modern, low-profile centerpiece perfect for modern dining
spaces or minimalist weddings.
Tips for a polished look
● Consistency in color: Choose a color palette (metallic gold, rose gold, white, or
greenery) and stick with it across all containers.
● Burn time: If your event lasts several hours, use long-burning tealight candles or
replace them in rounds to maintain ambiance.
● Safety first: Keep candles away from flammable décor, and use heat-resistant
holders. Ensure the centerpieces have a clear, stable base and do not block guests’
view or service staff.
● Height variety: Mix low trays with a few taller elements (lanterns or vases with
slim stems) to create dimension without crowding the table.
● Scent considerations: If you’re using scented tealights, test fragrances to avoid
overpowering food or conversations.
With these quick ideas, you can craft charming tealight centerpieces in minutes, using simple supplies and minimal effort. Whether you’re hosting a casual dinner or a small celebration, tealights add a welcoming glow that elevates any table setting.
