Lighting a candle is a deeply human ritual, and doing so at the table brings intention and magic to any meal. We spent 17 hours researching and 28 hours testing 28 dinner candles, and we found 12 we loved—from classic tapers to ones that make a statement. Whether you’re setting a candlelit table for a party, a holiday dinner, a date with your honey, or mac and cheese for one, we’ve got you covered.
