Long Last Votive Candles

Jessica, on June 20, 2014 at 8:40 AM Posted in Planning 0 10

Hey everyone! Do any of you have suggestions on the best brand of votive candles? We're having an evening wedding/reception and I wanted to make sure that we have enough burn time that they don't go out on us halfway through the reception.

    I purchase sooooo many, and I let 2 burn over night. I blew it out at about 2 am, they really work for 8 hrs like they say.

    Honestly, I just got my votives from the knot. They still burn 10 hours and they were less expensive than yummicandles. I paid $18 for 36 candles.

    The yummicandle votives sized are currently on sale 9 candles for $6 which is still more expensive.

    I also used Yummi candles for votives, but I paid no where near 9 candles for $6.

    I got 288 votive candles for $55, but if you don't need that many you can get 72 votives and 72 votive holders for $20.

    I've heard that if you chill or freeze the candles, even cheaper candles will burn slower.

    I bought votives from Michael's and AC Moore. With a coupon they were cheap and they lasted throughout the reception (5 hours). We tested them in advance and they went longer.

    Fuel cells, can be purchased at restaurant supplies. Not inexpensive but they'll burn 15 hrs and you don't have to clean up spilled wax in tealight holders if this is the route you are going.

    Heather doesn't know how to do math...$18 for 36 candles = $2 per candle. $6 for 9 candles = $1.5 per candle. The Knot is not cheaper
