Centerpiece Opinion...

My reception is at Westbury Manor which has long oblong tables. I wanted to incorporate oblong centerpieces with candles and flowers. Originally I wanted to have 5-6 different size pillar candles wrapped with flowers, and now I want to do a low candelabra wrapped in flowers (rich white). I was going with a candelabra as in pic #2 but now I think I found a perfect one in Crate & Barrell (pic#3). The one in pic #3 would cost me a lot less since it requires votive or tea light candles...in pic #1 is the way the tables are set up at WM.

What do you ladies think?

They're on sale in Crate & Barrel for $34.75...you have to look at the room pictures...it is beautiful...this picture does not do it any justice at all.

Does it come with the votives too?

I like the second candle set but in my experience tea light candles do not last very long and may burn out before the end or your reception.

I don't think those are tea light candles.. i think its votive candles.

Thats correct...you can do either or...the votive candles have burning time up to 10 hours or around there...
