Start with the holder’s two-sided design
The ribbed glass sets in this collection are built to do double duty. Each piece has a smaller opening on one side for a standard candlestick and a standard tea light opening on the opposite side. That means one set can carry you from a tall taper centerpiece to low tea light glow without buying separate holders.
Before you plan the table, decide which side you’ll use where. Candlesticks give height and drama; tea lights keep sightlines open for conversation. The same holder can switch roles between the ceremony and the reception, so you’re not locked into one look.
What the ribbed glass sets include
-
Vintage Ribbed Glass Rose Gold Candle/Candlestick Holders Set of 6 - Assorted: Set of 6 rose gold ribbed glass holders: 2 short, 2 medium, and 2 tall. One side holds a standard candlestick; the opposite side holds a standard tea light. The two-of-each-height mix lets you build a balanced cluster on a round table without buying multiple sets.

Vintage Ribbed Blue Glass Candle/Candlestick Holders Set of 6 - Assorted: Set of 6 blue ribbed glass holders in the same two-short, two-medium, two-tall configuration, with the same dual candlestick and tea light openings. You can repeat the same arrangement in a second color for a coordinated but not identical look across tables.

Build height in threes, not singles
A single short holder can get lost on a large table. Group one short, one medium, and one tall from the set, then repeat that trio around the table. The ribbed texture catches light at different angles as the heights step up, so the arrangement reads as intentional even before the candles are lit.
Keep the tallest holder toward the center of the table and the shortest near the edges where guests reach for glasses. The thick glass is designed to hold a candlestick without tipping, but a top-heavy taper still belongs where elbows are less likely to brush it.
Choose your color story before you order
Rose gold warms a room and pairs naturally with blush, cream, and wood tones. Blue reads cooler and more formal, and it holds its own against white linens and silver flatware. Both colors are available in the same ribbed shape, so you can use one color per table or alternate them down a long banquet row.
If you’re using both, let one color dominate and the other appear as an accent. A 2:1 ratio of blue to rose gold, for example, keeps the table from looking like two parties sharing a room.
Nesting set for overflow and storage
- Nesting Vintage Clear Glass Tea Light Holder (Set of 3): Set of 3 clear glass nesting tea light holders in small (2.3" w x 2.8" h), medium (3" w x 3.3" h), and large (3.9" w x 4.3" h) sizes. Candles not included. The clear glass disappears into any color scheme, making it a useful neutral filler when you need more glow than your colored sets provide.
- Nesting Vintage Clear Glass Tea Light Holder (Set of 3): The three sizes nest inside one another for stackable storage. After the wedding, the set stores in the space of the largest holder instead of taking up a box of its own.
A tabletop sequence that works with either color
- 1. Place the tall holders first: Set one tall ribbed holder at the center of each table or evenly spaced down a long table. These anchor the arrangement.
- 2. Add the medium holders beside them: Offset each medium holder slightly to one side of the tall one so the cluster doesn’t look like a straight line.
- 3. Fill gaps with short holders: Use the short holders near place settings or between centerpieces. Their low profile keeps them out of the way of serving dishes.
- 4. Decide candle vs. candlestick per holder: Flip each holder to the side that suits its position. Tea lights for low glow, candlesticks for height. You can change this on the day without rearranging the holders.
- 5. Wipe and replace: The ribbed glass sets are wipe-clean. Before the event, wipe each holder and check that the candle sits flush.
Where the clear nesting set earns its place
Use the clear nesting holders where colored glass would compete: a welcome table, a bar top, or a gift table. Because they’re clear, they let a printed sign or a colored linen show through. The three sizes also work as a standalone centerpiece when you want light without another color in the palette.
The nesting set is sold as a set of three and ships with each votive wrapped in bubble wrap. No assembly is required. Candles are not included, so plan your tea light or votive order separately.
What to confirm before the wedding day
The supplied information does not list a specific candle size or burn time for either the ribbed sets or the nesting set, so test your chosen tea lights and candlesticks in the holders before the event. Check that tapers stand straight and that tea lights sit level. The ribbed holders are described as lead-free glass and wipe clean; the nesting set is described as glass with no assembly required.
Both ribbed sets ship wrapped in bubble wrap in a brown box, and the nesting set ships in a white box. Order early enough to unpack, inspect, and replace any piece that arrives damaged.
