Lilac, Violet, and Deep Purple Taper Candles: Choosing a Shade

Purple taper candles run from soft lilac and lavender through violet to deep, dark purple. Ours is a rich, true purple: saturated and jewel-toned, darker than a pale lilac and closer to violet than to a muted mauve.

Pick the shade by the mood. A deep purple reads regal and dramatic against gold, brass, and dark linen, while lilac stays soft and springlike. For a candle with no added color at all, the natural yellow tapers keep the honey tone of raw wax.

Styling Purple Taper Candles for Jewel-Tone and Advent Tables

Purple taper candles suit jewel-tone, seasonal, and formal settings, which is why a deep purple works for moody tablescapes, Advent wreaths, and regal decor. These purple tapers measure approximately 0.20″-0.24″ in diameter. Check your holder opening before ordering; wider standard candlesticks may require an adapter. The fragrance-free burn keeps a table's own scents untouched.

  • Jewel-tone and moody tables. Deep purple pairs with plum, aubergine, and gold for a rich, dramatic look.
  • Advent wreaths. Purple is the traditional color for Advent candles, so these tapers suit a wreath set alongside a pink one.
  • Regal and formal settings. A saturated purple anchors a luxe, formal tablescape.
  • Soft, seasonal tables. In a lighter setting, purple lifts spring and lavender-led palettes.

Purple beeswax tapers come in heights from 6.3 to 7.3 inches and in sets of 25 to 700 for larger, bulk tables. Diameters and burn times for each height are on the product page. Explore the full range of pure beeswax candles.

Questions & Answers

What shade of purple are these, lilac or deep purple?

These are a rich, deep purple, closer to violet than to a pale lilac. The color is saturated and jewel-toned rather than soft or pastel.

Can these purple tapers be used for an Advent wreath?

Yes. Purple is traditionally associated with Advent. Check the opening of your wreath holder before ordering, as these ultra-thin tapers may require an adapter. Check the height against your wreath, and pair with a pink taper for the third week.

Do purple taper candles fit standard candlesticks?

Not always. These purple tapers measure approximately 0.20″-0.24″ in diameter and are slimmer than standard dinner tapers. Measure the holder opening before ordering; wider holders may require an adapter.

Are these purple beeswax candles colored all the way through?

Yes. The purple comes from a certified candle dye added during hand-dipping, so the color runs through the whole taper rather than sitting on the surface. The wax itself stays 100% beeswax.
