I LOVE candles. I recently removed all my usual suspects from the mantel (which is the recipient of ongoing mini-makovers) and kept it simple. A vintage frame flocked with candles of varying size, color and texture and a garland of mini jewels and flower buds.
I love the result. Simple but elegant. The reflection of the flickering tongues of flame are a pleasant focal point and not too harmful in the romance department either!
