candles in acrylic vases?

Yes! You have to be careful with glass vas well, make sure the vase is big enough to keep the flame away from the sides. You can buy square glass vases

Thanks Sherrie I'm on quite a tight budget and with possibly 12 tables was trying to keep the cost down also our reception is very informal, hot buffet without seating plan, so didnt want to go too overboard with the centrepieces. The candles we are having are the ones that change colour so didnt want much else as feel it would detract from them.

Do you have any suggestions your advice would be much appreciated I am feeling a little uninspired at the moment.

How about just using a glass candle plate to put them on and perhaps a few acrylic sparkles:

Like this but on a glass plate & using just a single candle & a flower head.

That looks lovely and we have ribbon with our names on it which we could use, Just hope my mum goes for it as the candles wouldnt be enclosed in a vase, she is such a worrier!

Hi

Does anyone know where you can get those glass plates from?

I have seen them on ebay and in hobbycraft shops. this site is really good easy florist supplies prices are really reasonable.

Whereabouts are you MrsW? We hire them in the Bristol & surrounding area, or you can buy them here:

Im in the midlands.

Would you suggest putting the candles in holders or would they be ok standing on a plate?

They should be fine as the mirrors are very thick and the candles won't burn all the way down.
