One of the things that really ruins a display of tapers is when the candles are not standing straight in the holders. In addition to looking bad, a leaning taper candle could eventually start to drip, even if it is the dripless kind.
There are 3 main reasons that taper candles lean.
We will start with how to deal with the the crooked candle holder first because there are not that many options, however, there are a few things you can try. If the holder is a metal one, like in the image above, you might be able to bend the arms to make them straight. For holders that are sturdier or 1 solid piece, you could try placing a folded piece of paper under the base of it to straighten it out.
