Candle Craziness

We are planning to use lots of candlelight throughout our reception, on all the tables, and maybe even one like this:






The next step was deciding on the candles themselves. I, of course, spent way too much time thinking about this and wound up with a list of requirements for the candles:

  • be available in a variety of sizes
  • not drip excessively
  • last for at least 5 hours
  • not stink
  • not smell too strong
  • not be vanilla scented
  • be white, not ivory
  • be cheap

After receiving several recommendations from family, friends and some florists, I went to Michael's and purchased their white clean linen scented pillar candles to test. And....they meet all the requirements, they are quality candles with a very very light, clean scent and are super affordable (especially if you use a coupon!).

If you're in the market for candles, this bride-to-be recommends Michaels!

Do you over analyze small details too?
