Weddings can be costly but pay it. If you want nice candles, pay the price for them, if you want to be cheap and get dollar store candles that are going to drip and burn wrong go ahead. If you want good quality candles pay for them. I have done lots of weddings and have never had a problem. I just did my brother in laws wedding: 115 favors- acetate boxes with 4 oz vanilla tin candles with labels on the top, petals inside the box and matches with little labels on them, 200 floating candles for centerpieces butterflies and flowers, 3 wax wedding cakes for the head table, and 3 hurricanes where people sign the book. It took a bit to get everything together but they loved it all. DONT EVER SELL YOURSELF short, prices are what they are for a reason, good candles take testing and time and people need to appreciate that!!!
