Candelabras for centrepieces?

Hi All,

I have been thinking about candelabras (tall 5 arm ones) with flowers incorporated somehow as my centrepieces. I am getting married at the end of October and want the candlelight / open fire cosy atmosphere.

With the candelabras I want to make sure the height of them is above eyesight level so it doesn't interfere wih guests sat across from each other being able to chat.

So a few questions:

- Has anyone done this / planning on doing this for their wedding?

- Does anyone have any flashes for inspiration? And any idea on costs of using floral arrangements as part of this opposed to a vase of flowers as centrepieces?

- Does anyone have an idea of the minimum height that would be needed to avoid the eye line issue?

- Any idea how much these would be to hire? Hmm maybe Ill check with my florist about actually how to get hold of the candelabras too.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Wonky x

    Just a word of warning, check with your venue that they allow naked flames first.

    The cost may be comparible to having just flowers as you will be paying for the hire or the cost to buy the candelabras.

    Your florist will be able to get them if she doesn't already have them to hire, as the venue might most of us have them available.

    The less flowers you use the cheaper it will be to hire.

    These are the ones we have for hire:

    Hi Wonky,

    I normally hire the candelabras from the florist that I use for my clients, the more flowers and types of flowers you choose to have, this effects the cost.

    Just bear this in mind that some venue already have these, and offer these at no extra cost.

    Good luck ?

    I'm having candelabras, thank you for all the pics! My reception venue is including them in the hire costs so just need to meet the florist and decide what flowers are going to go on them.

    Hi There

    Talk to your florist, mine go out free with flowers. The cost really depends on the number of flowers you have on them.

    Most popuar is a ball of roses in the centre, but this can be any type of flower, also I do a lot with loose wreaths of flowers.

    I have lots on my blog, just let me know if you would like any photos
