I have been looking at flowers for 10 tables and it is too costly. Any web sites that shows where they use candles as centerpieces? Any candle centerpieces ideas would be greatly appreciated.Thank You.

You can get like a wide short vase and have floating candles w/a couple of flowers floating too.Candles can never go wrong. It will have that romantic atmosphere.

What you could do is buy two dozen roses from a grocery store and buy big candles. put three roses around the candle.

http://images.google.com/images?q=candle+centerpieces&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1If the link doesn't work for whatever reason, I just googled "Candle Centerpieces" and made it an image search. Lots of pretty pictures/examples for your perusal!

the good thing is you can make your own decorations using candles and it looks better than flowers anyway. I love floating candles and rose petals (dont need to be real)take a look at these;http://www.wedding-flowers-guide.com/images/globe-candle-wedding-center.jpghttp://www.yourweddingcompany.com/images/custompages/centerpiece%20ideas/coffee%20candle%20centerpiece.jpghttp://www.colonialcandle.com/images/ideas/celebrate.jpghttp://www.somdweddings.com/dreamwedding/images/lights_off_lg.jpghttp://www.wedding-flowers-guide.com/images/floating-heart-candle-cente.jpgtip; bows and ribbons and butterfly hair clips adds extra glam to decorations

Try going to http://www.surroundings.com/They have some beautiful candle centerpieces. You can buy kits from them, but most of the stuff on the website you could probably do yourself. Hope this helps! Good luck Smile

We used candle centerpieces. We found wine bottle holders that had a place for a candle on each side on the bottle. We put a bottle of wine for each table and had the candles lit just before dinner. A few flowers and some tulle were placed at the base of each.

walmart has wonderful flowers. we did the centerpieces for 20 tables for my friends wedding.. we bought roses for like 200.. so maybe it might cost you only around 100.. you can order from them and so they will be fresh and what you want

I am using candles as centerpieces for my reception tables. My colors are bark brown, burnt orange and red. I am having each pillar candle in a different color, & a different height on a square mirror in the center of the table. I might but some ribbon around them, or some stones on the mirrors or something just for some details, but i don't know yet.

I love candelabras if you are wanting to use candles.. They give an amazing look to the table.. Suggestions on some can be seen at 88 Events website.. We used the 3 foot ones and never regretted it .. It was gorgeous.. http://www.88eventscompany.com/events/
