Hi okmoreh,

I just bought some pillar candles on my way home from work. I have 3 stands that vary in height and I like to get my candles the same size. If I have stands that are the same size I like to vary my candle height. For yours I think a couple of 3 to 4 inch pillars would look good. Not too tall since your stands are pretty tall. Since you said you don't want to accent the green, I think some medium blue candles would look good there. I also think a creamy tan color would look fine. I wouldn't go too light with the candles, but try to stay about the same depth of color as the stand. That's my 2 cents worth. Show us a pic farther back so we can see them in the room when you choose :-)

Honestly, I might use a soft green (but you don't want more green) so then I would use ivory. Let the candleholders be the star more so than the candles.

What mimi said about pillars is what I always recommended at the great indoors to decor customers. If the candleholders are two different heights, the candles should be the same height. If the holders are the same height, then you can vary the heights of the candles. I would look for pillar candles that are about 6 inches tall. That height will work with the shorter holder, and still not look too small for the taller one.

I like the new holders, by the way.
