Karen B Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I was talking to a lady today who was looking for a candle that is usually used in Greece orthodox weddings in Greece. I don't feel comfortable at all making this candle, but I do feel sorry for this person and thought I'd try to help her out.There are 2 candles, both between 7 & 8 inches in diameter and stand at 4 ft tall. (they stand by the holy table so no people walk by them) They are expensive and it sounds like she would order them from Greece but the shipping would probably break the candles. I have ideas on how this could be done, but the time and expense in this would be too much for me. (for just one customer) Plus I still worry about how safe they would be standing on there own. Anyway she sounds like she has her heart set on these candles for a wedding, it does sound pretty, so I thought I would ask. Maybe someone hear has seen them and has experience making them. BTW she is in IL. Karen B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Has she tried contacting a Greek store or Greek Orthodox chuch in the US? When I was a kid we used to go to a Greek store that was close to our house and they had all kinds of things from Greece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrogers397 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 there was a discussion on one of my groups for this very thing and I think the person somehow made them using a pice of pvctype pipe, I think they greased it up really well to make it but don't quote me on that and used bulk wicking to wick it. I know I have heard of someone making them but don't know who. maybe this will jog someones memory.janis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
