I want to give my friend this candle basket for her bridal shower.....is there a store where I can buy all the candles I need for this project? TIA
That is such a sweet thing. For 25, use silver candles.

I found the poem:
A Basket of Candles
For bride name
A basket of candles That come in a pair
In all different colors, For you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company, you have over for dinner
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine’s Day
Now, when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright.
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby,
And just when you thought, you’d put these away
Take the light blue ones out-for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left-for the big 2 5
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive
Congratulations bride and groomOn the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
And burn these candles
Just the way we said
But please don’t forget-blow them out before bed!
With love,
Bridal Party

i have another poem...it's specific for candles you can get at Yankee candle stores. i can send you the file tomorrow...i don't have it here!
the candles that you use from Yankee candle are called: Wedding Day, Midsummer's Nite, Home for the Holidays, Fresh Cut Roses, Cottage Breeze, Ginger Citrus, and maybe a few others...i can't remember off the top of my head.
i actually did the candle basket for another LIW bride like 2 wks ago.
Oh my aunt did this for my cousin! It was beautiful! I was crying of course.

Heres the poem:
_______ and _______ are a great pair,
heres a basket of candles for you to share...
The wedding day one burns first at the start of your life,
to celebrate your first night as husband and wife.
The red pair is taller and much, much thinner;
they are to burn with your first company over for dinner.
A candle to burn on your first christmas night;
its called home for the holidays and should burn very bright.
The ginger citrus candle will burn on your first new year;
may it bring you both love and lots of good cheer.
The midsummer's night candle is for your very first fight;
use it to burn when making up all night.
The sweet strawberry candle will set the mood and pave the way;
for your very first married valentine's day.
Now when your 1st year of marriage is through;
the cottage breeze candle will burn for you two.
By this time we hope that maybe just maybe;
you could burn the lilac blossom candle on the birth of your first baby.
And just when you thought you could put them away;
take the clean cotton one out for your 5th anniversary day.
We are at the second to last ones;
the big 2-5;
the silver anniversary candles that will keep your love alive.
Now one pair left;
the great 5-0;
the gold anniversary candles that will continue your glow.
So congratulations on the start of your forever;
may the two of you always be happy together.
Burn these candles just the way we said;
but please don't forget to blow them out before bed!
ETA: I didn't underline the candle names, it takes too long on here.. sorry!
