Pinteresting: Mercury-Glass Candleholders

An easy and inexpensive way to add warmth and sparkle to any wedding decor scheme.

What is it about mercury glass that’s so darned romantic? There’s something in the

way it glints and glows, and it’s so versatile—equally at home now (it mimics the

warmth of a September night) as it might be on an evening in mid-December (imagine

the flickering candlelight next to sprigs of holly and pine). Going with a rustic

fall theme? It will add some sparkle to all that reclaimed wood. Prefer a fancier

affair? It also pairs well with ribbons and lace.

We scoured Pinterest and picked out a few lovely takes on this timeless—and seasonless—tabletop

accessory, available at all price points, from vintage to West Elm to DIY lookalikes.
