I found this idea on a website and plan on using it for my wedding! Buy floating candles in a specific shape that goes with your theme (or colors to go with your wedding). Buy one candle for each guest. Set bowls of water in the center of the table with the floating candles in them, and use them as the centerpiece. When the reception is over, everyone can take a candle with them! Ideas to personalize it include having preprinted ribbons with the bride and grooms names and wedding date on it, or using an etching tool to inscribe that info on the base of the candle and filling in what is "engraved" with paint to make it stand out.
Could you expand a bit more on this idea - I don't think I'm the only one who is confused. Are there separate bowls for each candle? Are they lit? Do the guests take home the bowl and the candle or do they pull out the candle and keep that?
I'm sure this is a great idea but a bit more detail would be helpful in really understanding how they will be used.
Ah....I'd think this idea through before you went ahead and did it for your wedding. I am picturing all of the guests digging out a 1/2 burned up candle from a bowl of water and then placing a smooshy, wet, funny-shaped candle into their pocket to bring home and do what with?
Hi for a great wedding centerpiece for November December January weddings I have a beautiful snowflake lantern bridesmaids can carry down the aisle instead of bouquets. Long after the flowers die this will be a special memento for the bridesmaids. Dreammaiden1@hotmail.com
