It all started when I got a bridal mag in the mail today and saw these large square plexi glass boxes with many different sized candle in it. I wanted to try it since I had given up on finding affordable candelabras that I liked. SO I go tot michaels and they didnt have them but I bought a bunch of things to 'play' with like ribbon, fake rose petals, crystal garland etc. Then I go to walmart where I find a round glass bowl with a very wide opening, so I think I could do the different sized candles in them. SOOOOoooo Im on my way out and decide to pick up some tea light.. well I found the PERFECT candelabras for what I was thinking. They are rust and hold 7 candles.. beautiful. The best part... they were 9.82!!!!!
They only had 3 which means I will be on a mad internet and walmart hunt so a while, but OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! If anyone sees them at walmarts by them please let me know.
Here are pics!!!! Oh the candles are two colors... they will be all one when all is said and done.. one if ivory and the other off white.. which do you like better? My theme is antique/vintage-ish so it totally goes right?
here is who it actually look lit.. I turned off all flash and settings on my camera to get the real deal

check with your hall and make sure they allow them--some require the candles to be envlosed in glass.

I LOVE IT...
Just make sure your hall allows the open flame!!!! I sent my hall a pic of what I wanted just so I dont have ANY problems last minute!!!
Also, not sure on the candle color.. try it out with the kind of lighting that will be in your room.. the white might look better if the room will be darker.. and the ivory if the room isnt so dark.. cause in the pic the white look more ivory... but i dont know if that is just the way the picture looks?

Love it!! What color table cloths are you going to have? If they are going to be white, I would go with white candles.
