Everything from bulb hurricane candle holders which have a three dimensional ballooning effect in the center of the glass, to lantern candle holders which completely enclose the candle to protect it from wind and rain, most hurricane candle holders are extremely affordable. Their affordability makes them a very common choice for large events or weddings where centerpieces need to be made in large quantities.
