SOOOO exicted right now girls.

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

Re: EEk.. accidently found centerpieces!

They look great! I like the darker candle color (is that the ivory?)

Good luck with your hutn for more. If you dont' have enough, you could alternate & only do that on 1/2 the tables.

East Meadow is in Nassua. If you stilll need mroe you could try the Uniondale store--it isn't far from East Meadow.

Here is a listing of the stores in the area.

Wal-mart

I love those as centerpieces! JMO, I like the white better but it depends on your tablecloth.

Re: EEk.. accidently found centerpieces!

I really like them!

I think you should pick the candle color depending on what color table cloths you use!!! or on the decor in the hall.

Amazing find!! I hope you can purchase enough! Try talking to someone in the store, maybe they can help you get more? I def like the ivory candles.

I'm using candles for my Feb afternoon wedding and hope they'll look alright also. Your CP will look GREAT!!
