Have you thought about what kind of candles u are using for the centerpieces? I need to order mine and cant decide on pillars or round? Help me out girleee

My florist recommended 3 inch pillars, but of course I had to go there and ask if they could be 3 inch balls.

I think I'm going with the balls!

That I don't know yet

Michael's or AC Moore if they have them, or BBB possibly...I want to make sure they're slow burning and no-drip. I think Pier 1 may have them too, but I don't want scented or to spend a fortune.

Try candles 4 less.com (minus spaces) thats where I am getting mine (we have the same CP's) They are super cheap with some stuff... Was recommended by my RH.

BTW have you ladies showed these to your RH yet? I happened to bring a picture with me at my last meeting and was told that halls are having A LOT of issues with these candle holders. Evidently they are very top heavy once the candles go in them and when someone bumps into the table they fall/break/burn people. My RH said they are not allowing anyone to use them anymore After I already bought 27 sets!! Just didnt think to ask first! Was told I have to make a base to secure them together and make them more sturdy and it has to be approved by them before I can use them... so we are trying to come up with something

Um....no. This is the last thing I need to be hearing today.

My florist is setting them up for me, and said that they have worked with the same ones in the past and lots of brides used them. So I'm going to keep my mouth shut on this one.

I hear ya... Just thought I would let ya know. (and I apologize for being the bearer of bad news!) If I didn't find out now I probably wouldn't have been able to use them sans a base the day of, didn't want anyone else to go through that!

ETA: On a happier note... They told me they look STUNNING when they are set up!
