Candle Centerpieces

Honestly nobody is going to remember the centerpieces but you. I think the two candles and a table number will look fine.

I think it would look fine with the table number to balance. You can always try setting up different version at home to see what you like better and then if you decide you need to have more you can just purchase more.

The reason there are usually 3 is because when decorating you work with odd numbers 1, 3, or 5 as a general rule it looks much better.

A set of 3 is going to be more pleasing to the eye; even with the table number as your third item (depending on the size relative to the candles), it still may look a little off. If you must use 2, I would recommend doing one taller and one shorter candle to add some visual interest.

I suggest doing mock up centerpieces at home. Also price out the candles at different places. IKEA has candles for fairly inexpensive.

I would do 3 if you can swing it. The vases are only $1 at dollar tree and you can elevate one on almost anything (or use E6000 glue to add a stem from a crystal candlestick-also $1),

For candles try Yummi Candles, Candles4Less, Ikea, and of course the Dollar store.

I also suggest doing a mock up. I would think it would look ok though. Double check that your venue allows pillar candles. Mine doesn't

Thank you for everyone's input! This was super helpful!

I second Rosered. Most venues don't allow open flames, such as pillars and tapers.

Yes on the check with your venue--ours didn't allow open flames

Three would be better, but will your guests notice or really care all that much?
