I was in IKEA this weekend and was so surprised to find so many 'wedding' things...thought I'd pass along...
1. I initally wanted to do two candlesticks on my tables, but then got afraid of open flame after I burned my MOH speech at sfp0214's wedding this summer (all was well, but it was a scary moment!). However...I couldn't find cheap holders that were sturdy. Ikea offers these clear ones that were very nice! 99 cents each!
2. I bought these for my table numbers - they are called 'clips' are about a buck each. They are great because they are cheaper than the other frames I was looking at, but do the job nicely. I got the 7x9 size!
3. I didnt' see these at the store, but they have easels for the table! I may get these to hold my menu cards!
4.I bought one of these for tea lights and it cast the most beautiful glow. But, again, I'm nervous about open flame...but if you are not...it was gorgeous and only 50 cents each! Last pic is it glowing too!
great find leese!!! You always have your eyes open!!!

Good point Leese. For my bridal shower the girls picked up a bunch of vases for the centerpieces. They were only $1.99 each. I also needed a bunch of tealights for my centerpieces and IKEA was the cheapest I found. I think they were $2.99 for 100 tealights.

That last tea light that you have on there I used as a favor for my parents suprise 25th party. I got them in blue wrapped them in tulle with some ribbon. They looked great and everyone loved them.

a regular candlestick - like one you would put on a candelabra. you could put one on each side of a low centerpiece.

I love the little easels.. You just inspired me to make 1 menu for each table rather than 1 menu per person. Thanks!!!
