Best place to buy large candles & candle holders for centerpieces?? (I have pictures!) *GOOGLE QUEEEENS PLZ*

Candles not exactly sure the best place but the jars I've seen at both Michaels and Hobby Lobby. If possible print a coupon 1st

Several types of vases (cylinder, slightly flared, and votives) are available at Dollar Tree. The cylinder are 7.25" and are $12 for 12.

If you have a Big Lots in your area, they always have lots of candles for inexpensive prices (at least the one local seems to).

Hope that helps some. I'll see if I can find some others.

Kimi K - Try Crate and Barrel outlet in Leesburg. The one in Alexandria had them on sale right after the holidays for $.99 and $1.49 each.

Bed Bath and Beyond have great unscented candles that have cotton wicks and burn for a long time. They come in multi packs of different varieties in ivory or white. We loved them because they burned all night and were practically smokeless. I am a huge believer in not skimping on candles. Cheaply made candles don't burn well and put out a lot of smoke. With coupons, the price decreased significantly.

The vases can be found at Dollar Tree.

Wow, how are you going to transport these? A tip....we stuffed each vase with a kitchen towel and then wrapped them in bubble wrap.

I ordered my candles from this website: http://www.100candles.com/

Thank you everyone! This gave me a great head start!!

@Amy O: The Crate and Barrel outlet closed a few months ago They turned it into an AE. It was a sad, sad day when I found that out - that was by far my favorite store.

@Carole: We have a LOT of things that need to get down there so we're going to mail it all to our hotel 2 weeks prior to leaving. We've got boxes and a LOT of bubble wrap.

Kimi - have you ever checked out www.save-on-crafts.com? I love this website and the prices are pretty reasonable

IKEA has tons of candles as well

Amazon has some great buys!

Kimi....When having a DW, bubble wrap is a bride's best friend. Mailing it is a good idea. Obviously, I don't need to tell you to get a tracking number and signature. : )

Kimi - I've got tons of them that I've been buying off Craigslist for my little second hand wedding store - are you near Philly? If so you're welcome to borrow them. :-)

The Dollar Tree has a lot of vases/glassware.

Amazon has lots for cheap, give it a try.

Kimi K - there is still a Crate and Barrel outlet in Old Town Alexandria. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/Stores/Store.aspx?storeid=58

You can also order the vases by the dozen from Dollartree.com and shipping is free if you pick up in-store vs. home delivery.

Ikea might have the candles - there are locations in Hoodbridge and College Park.

Thank you Shannon!! :o) I'll have to check out Old Town!

You're welcome! Let me know if you head out that way - I've been meaning to hit the outlet myself.

If you want different heights and sizes for pillar candles I would say go here:

http://wholesalecandlewarehouse.com/

They tend to have discount codes to users. Check for sales from time to time which also helps.

Thanks for the recommendation!
