You can easily set the mood for any seaside or beach-themed event by displaying this Nautical Beach Sea Shells Wood Candle Lantern. The glow of candlelight is emphasized perfectly by the glass panels featured on the sides of this beach lantern and will create the perfect ambiance for a romantic evening or an intimate gathering. The glass panels are framed perfectly with weathered white wood and meet a wooden top and base that offers support and style. The top of the beach candle lantern provides a hoop, allowing you to hang this lantern wherever you desire easily.
The nautical lantern features seashells in a row at the base for that truly oceanic feel, and a white wooden fish hangs perfectly from the top. Set a tealight candle inside (not included) to achieve the perfect level of lighting from this lantern.
That hoop is worth a second thought. Most centerpieces can only sit down; this one can also hang from a shepherd's hook or a branch above the dance floor. At approximately 3.5" x 3.5" x 8.75" it is tall enough to be seen down a long table and slim enough to talk across.
This nautical candle holder is not only a great lighting choice for special seaside occasions or for the perfect ambiance in a beach house but can act as the perfect table centerpiece for a wedding reception as well. The glass panels can be engraved with the bride and groom's names or with your choice of personalization, making it a great favor after the party's over for those special guests of yours.
The engraving is done in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999, and names etched into the glass catch the candlelight from behind. One customer bought hers as the centerpiece for her daughter's sweetheart table, surrounded it with starfish, and said the etched names and date finished the piece for their nautical theme.
This beach candle holder would also make a wonderful addition to any room in your home that features a nautical theme. With its weathered wood and seashells, it is sure to become the focal point of any beach-styled room. Have it personalized to give as a gift that is sure to be well-received, or pair it with another ocean-themed item from our selection.

Which one should I choose
Candlelight on a reception table can come from a plain lantern, an engraved holder or a piece that also decorates the room, and the difference shows up after the wedding.
| Nautical Beach Sea Shells Wood Candle Lantern | Choose it when the theme is coastal: weathered white wood, shells, a hanging hoop, and names etched into the glass panel. |
|---|---|
| White Wedding Table Candle Lanterns | Choose them when you want a taller, plain white lantern for a non-themed reception and do not need wording on the glass. |
| Personalized Blown Glass Tealight Candle Holder | Choose it when the favor should be small and glass only, with no wood frame or nautical detail. |
For a beach or nautical wedding, the sea shells wood lantern earns its place twice: once as the centerpiece and again as the favor that leaves with the guest.
