Proper to light candles at lunch? Or dinner only?
I’ve always thought candles on the dinner table were a throwback to pre-electricity days, adding a charming flicker of light to the evening’s festivities. Aren’t they considered pretentious at luncheons?
No candles at lunch. It’s not dark out. The purpose/ambience is lost during the day. At a luncheon add simple flowers to charm it up.
