Whether you're a restaurant owner crafting the perfect dining atmosphere, an event planner setting the scene for a wedding, or a home entertainer who won't settle for anything less than beautiful — candles are the detail that transforms a space. At Love Tiki, we stock a carefully curated range of NK candles that deliver where it matters most: burn time, quality, and presentation.

What Are NK Candles?
NK is a trusted name in professional-grade candles, widely used across the UK's hospitality sector. Known for their smoke-free, drip-free performance and relightable flames, NK candles are engineered for demanding environments where consistency and reliability are non-negotiable. From tealights used nightly in a busy restaurant to statement pillar candles for event centrepieces, NK delivers the same quality across the entire range.

Why Choose NK Candles for Your Venue or Event?
Professional Performance You Can Trust
In a busy restaurant or event environment, candles need to perform consistently — night after night, table after table. NK candles are manufactured to professional standards, with the smoke-free, drip-free quality that prevents damage to linens and keeps the dining experience pristine.
Extended Burn Times = Better Value
The 8-hour tealights mean fewer mid-service replacements. The 80-hour pillar candles mean each unit lasts through dozens of services. When you calculate the cost per hour of burn time, NK candles offer excellent value for the trade.
Unscented Design for Dining Environments
Scented candles and food don't mix — your guests should smell the kitchen, not the table. NK's unscented range ensures your candle ambience enhances the atmosphere without competing with the cuisine.
Bulk Options for Trade Buyers
Love Tiki's trade account gives hospitality businesses access to wholesale pricing. If you're buying candles in volume — whether for a hotel chain, an event company, or a busy restaurant group — applying for a trade account could significantly reduce your costs.
How to Style NK Candles: Tips for Hospitality & Events
Tealights: Use in clusters within glass holders or lanterns for maximum effect. A grouping of three or five creates a warm, dynamic table focal point. For outdoor events, enclosed lanterns protect the flame and extend burn time.
Pillar candles: Display on decorative candle plates, within hurricane vases, or on wooden boards (see our range here) for a rustic-luxe aesthetic. The ivory finish pairs beautifully with natural textures and metallics.
Taper candles: Pair with our candle holders collection for a polished, formal setting. Classic silver or brass holders elevate the look instantly.
