Candles

Does anyone know where I can get inexpensive pillar, votive and tealight candles?? To save money I am hoping to buy all of my candles myself instead of having the florist provide them. TIA!!

if you go to dollartree.com you can get 64 bags of 16 unscented tea lights for $64. That's like 1,000 tea lights

Yes, try dollartree.com or any dollar store. At dollartree.com you can order online and have the order shipped to a store, and you won't have to pay shipping.

Make sure you go with unscented - when we booked our RH, the sales person told us that recently a couple used purple candles that they thought were unscented, but they weren't, and the room stunk of lavender. Yikes.
I'm sure you know to go with unscented, but just wanted to make sure.

Make sure you get unscented and make sure they are LONG BURNING. My mom reminded me about this...you need to make sure they will burn the whole night or else what's the point? I know Yankee candle makes votives that burn at least 5 hours. They are having a sale now - check it out online! The votive holders I'm just going to get at Dollar Tree

Are you booking OFC? They provide all tealight candles!! I'm not sure about the other ones, but they might provide them too!

Has anyone heard of using the tea lights for the placecard display table? I'd love to do that..

and because they are made very cheaply can be unsafe. I know my family has been in the candle business for over 80 years
