We are looking to put 3" mirrors under votive candle holders for our wedding and I can’t find very cheap ones online. I’m looking for something under {content}.20 each as we’ll need 3-4 per table and around 20 tables.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Is Justin Nozuka’s song, "After Tonight " a good one for this? I just love this song, and I’m pretty sure the words are ok for it????

Our centerpieces aren’t very large… They’re just hurricane vases (8" tall) with a white pillar candle and a red bow tied around the top of the vase.

We’re using rectangular tables and with the small centerpieces and nothing on either end of the table, it’s going to look very plain. I need some very inexpensive ideas because we’re on a tight budget.

We’re having a Christmas themed wedding and our colors are red, white, and silver. I don’t like the idea of rose petals scattered down the table either, by the way, it just seems to.. expected? I don’t know.

Anyways, please help!!

I have a candle warmer in my bathroom with a CLEAN LINEN candle on it. As you might now the candle is white & resembles water when completely warmed. My curious 4 year old decided to pour the "water" down my sink drain to "help Mommy". Now I have a trail of wax from the warmer to the sink & around the sides of the sink.

Anybody know how to remove this? I used a small Pampered Chef spatula to begin with but was scared I would scratch it. But @ this point scratching is not an issue … I just want to get it off.

Please help!

The ingredients on Glade’s soy candles say, "Soybean oil, paraffin wax, fragrance, dyes, stabilizers". I thought soy candles were supposed to be FREE of paraffin? I’m looking out for my birds here. I only want to light safe candles.

I lit two Autumn scented Yankee candles last night and they smelled like wax! I have never had that happen before. Do the oils in the new candles wear off? Anyway I don’t want a "Yankee Candle" answer and I cannot tolerate Glade candles as they make my nose stuff up and I sneeze. Anyone have experience with soy candles too? I have used Wal-Marts Pumpkin Spice and it is fabulous, but that’s the only one of theirs that I like.

The candle "collapsed" and the wax re-formed like a puddle around the bottom of the lamp. The wick has also folded in. Do I just need to spoon everything out?

I have one of those scented "Yankee Candle" style candles in the glass jar. It keeps giving off black smoke, which is in turn leaving a black spot on the ceiling above. I have heard about trimming the wick and so forth but this doesn’t seem to have helped. Any tips on proper candle burning that can stop this and help me get the most out of my candle?

I saw an idea for an escort card where the there was a votice candle holder for each person, and which table they were at.

My question is, is there some sort of "at home" method to print the guests names and apply it to glass with it looking professional? Because the set up costs for every person can get expensive. But if there’s a printable material that you can use as a tranfer on glass, I would like to go that route.

I’m a very DIY bride, and even though I’m not getting married until October of 09, I’m already working on things.

Since my fiance and I are having a rustic yet elegant wedding (our colors are ivory, black, and Mossy Oak as an accent color… it will be nice, despite your immediate reactions!), we both like the idea of an antler "bowl" with 3 birch pillar candles of different levels on a stand with pine garland and pine cones.

Here’s an idea of the antler "bowl".

Here’s the birch candles:

Now my question is where can I get birch bark to make my own candles? I’d like to make my own candles if possible. Any suggestions?
I don’t want to stand on my soapbox here, but I will not just go out and peel the bark off a tree. I’m not an environmentalist by ANY means, but I was a girl scout growing up, and we never took anything off a living plant, lest that be a flower, bark, leaves, anything…

So thanks for your input, but no.
