In Memory Candle question w/ poll

So I made these in memory candles for our past loved ones. In our reception room, when you walk in, straight ahead is a gorgeous fireplace. I was going to put the candles there and then have some floral arrangments as well. But now I am thinking it might be a little morbid....what do you girls think???

A lot of people set them up on a table next to their placecard table; this seems similar to that. I think it's fine - if you have access to a fireplace mantle instead of a table, I say go for it.

I think they would look great on the mantle of the fireplace.

I think it would be beautiful. We plan on having one in memory of my FH's mother. We arn't including everyone who has passed as most of our grandparents have already. So just one for her, it will be lit during the ceremony and then brought to the reception. If I had a fireplace in my room that is exactly where I would put it too.

I think it's a great way to honor them. IMO honoring loved ones that have passed on is not morbid; I think it's beautiful because when one dies, this is how they have to live on, on earth at least.

I think the fireplace is a great place for your memory candle...but maybe not so many flowers?? It might look morbid with a lot of flowers...sorry JMHO!! Are you booked at Land's End, maybe you could also try the piano. We had ours there with a vase of flowers.
