Light up a dinner table using candles instead of the harsh electric lights overhead. This will make your romantic meal more intimate. Place several tealights in a tealight candleholder each and group them in the middle of the table to cast a soft glow. You can also float the candles on a gracefully shaped bowl with water.

Fire dancing on water can be very magical to look at. After all, the flickers of a candle’s flame look twice as beautiful when reflected on a liquid’s shimmering surface. Floating candles can also add an instant atmosphere to any other types of dinner table arrangement.
