Wedding Taper Candles

10" x 0.9" tapers are usually the best fit for most wedding guest tables because they add height without crowding the centerpiece. They give the table a more formal look than shorter tapers, but they still work well with florals and normal guest sightlines.

Use 11.5" x 0.9" tapers when you want a taller, more formal look on a head table, sweetheart table, or entry display. For most guest tables, the 10" classics are easier to work into the overall centerpiece without the candle taking over the design.

Shorter tapers are usually the better choice when the centerpiece already has height or the table needs a lower flame line. 7" x 0.8" tapers from Kisco Candles, along with the shorter white Lerner 6-inch and 7-inch tapers, work well in those setups because they maintain the taper look without adding too much height.

Choose 0.9" tapers if you want the fuller classic dinner-candle look and are using standard taper holders for reception tables. Choose 0.8" tapers if your holders are slimmer or if you want the candle line to feel lighter in a more delicate centerpiece.

The 10" x 0.9" 8-hour bulk tapers are the strongest option when you need the candles to cover dinner and extend well into the evening. They are especially useful for receptions where relighting or replacing candles mid-event would be a hassle.

Choose white if your tablescape has crisp white linens, brighter flowers, or a more formal contrast-driven look. Choose ivory if your décor leans softer and warmer, especially with cream flowers, champagne tones, or warmer room lighting.

Count one taper for each holder on every guest table first, then add the head table, ceremony accents, welcome table, and a small reserve. At Kisco Candles, we carry packs from 10 and 20 up through 100, 120, 200, and 300, so it is much easier to size the order around the room you are actually setting.

One main taper height across guest tables usually looks cleaner and more intentional. If you want extra height, it works better to reserve the taller 11.5" tapers for focal tables rather than mixing several taper heights across every table in the room.

Buying from Kisco Candles keeps the order more consistent in color, taper width, and case size across the wedding. Our selection makes that easier because the core wedding options repeat across white and ivory classics, bulk 10" tapers, and longer 11.5" styles, rather than forcing you to cobble the look together from mismatched assortments.
