Wholesale Votive & Tealight Candles
Small-format candles supplied in bulk for hotels, restaurants, event planners and florists.
Overview
Votive and tealight candles get bought differently than a retail scented candle. Nobody is choosing one because of the label — they're buying a case of them because a restaurant needs the same flicker on every table, every night, for months. Consistency matters more than novelty here, and that's what we build for.
Votive vs. Tealight — Not the Same Thing
A tealight sits in its own thin metal or plastic cup and burns for a few hours. A votive is a taller, freestanding candle, usually 1.5 to 2 inches, designed to burn inside a holder that catches the melted wax — it typically burns longer than a tealight and throws more light. Buyers sometimes ask for one when they mean the other, so we confirm the format before quoting.
Who Orders These
Hotels and restaurants restocking table candles on a schedule. Event planners and wedding suppliers who need hundreds of identical units for one date. Florists and décor retailers selling them alongside arrangements. If you're buying by the case rather than the unit, this is the category you're looking at.
What You're Choosing
- Scented or unscented
- Wax type
- Cup or holder style for tealights
- Burn time expectations for your use case
- Order quantity — case-based pricing usually makes more sense than per-unit here
