No candles, faux lighting options?

I'm going to bump this just this one time

They are VERY expensive. I don't stock them as the weddings I do are usually on the more modest size. However, floral designers who do big lush designs will likely have these available to rent to their clients.

You could also go with flameless candles. Another idea are the floralytes.

Best wishes.

I would do flameless. You can get flameless candles that look like real flames, but the are pricier. If you want the real candle effect, maybe you could use a few of those in certain areas where they would have the most impact, and use the regular flameless everywhere else. My favorite realistic flameless - I use them in my house - are Luminara at QVC. The flame flickers and moves just like a real flame, you can touch and move/bend it...it's not hard plastic. They are not easy on the budget though. http://www.qvc.com/CatalogSearch?langId=-1&storeId=10251&catalogId=10151&keyword=Luminara

Thank you both for your helpful comments! I will look into these products sometime today. Be well

If you're open to votives, I just got 100 flameless LED tealights and 72 frosted votives (so you can't tell the LEDs are flameless) on Amazon for about $80.

I'm in love with those rectangular lights, though. Sigh...

I did what futuremrslav did. But i bought submersible to put in the bridesmaids' bouquet vases.

My venue has the same policy. I'm going with flame less votives. Not much help on the square ones, but if they were on the RH they have to be out of this world expensive. Lol

Mrslav are you comfortable sharing a link? Maybe I can look at it during my lunch hour. Thanks!

We have no open flame too, we stocked up on battery operate candles & we are doing some backdrops with string lights, so after christmas we bought a ton. & we are DIY'ing some ceiling decor with lights so we will have lots of lights but no candles.

Sure! These are the ones I ordered:

Tealights:

Votives (were under $40 when I ordered-- prices fluctuate): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QK4NFO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just FYI, I just ordered them on Friday so they haven't arrived yet, but I'm pretty confident given the reviews. I'm not super picky other than I wanted flickering LEDs.

Good luck!

Thank you all for your suggestions and comments. It's much appreciated. I'm afraid a guest will look into a votive and see that it's a fake flame lol. As I write it I know it's absurd, I am still disappointed in the no candle policy that I found out about on accident. Good thing I didn't buy tea lights ahead of time. I think I'm going to go to a craft store and look at a votive/led light together and convince myself that it looks good. When I buy them I'm shipping them to the wedding location (across country) and I won't see them until a few weeks prior.

I'm rambling, thanks again Ladies!

If I was smart I would've went to Sur and asked Lisa if she'd rent them out to me.

I was not productive when I was home in CA haha

Futuremrslav, may I ask if you're satisfied with the candles and votive holders? I'm ready to check out and want to be sure. Thanks!

Flameless candles are great and affordable! I have found some good ones at at http://www.eventswholesale.com/flameless-candles/ They normally last longer than a month, so you can even use them after your event, or give them out as favors!
