**No lit candles allowed at venue- Are you using battery votives?**

I think you should be fine. They light up just as much as regular candles do. They also sell lights that can be put into water that lights up if you are doing anything like that.

We are using ones- and they flicker just like real candles- we got ours at bjs- but SAMs and Cosco should have them too- I actually prefer them(my fh, who is also a firefighter, almost set our table on fire at his cousin's wedding when he placed a program over the candle without thinking and it caught fire)

I have LED candles from Pier 1. They look pretty normal to me. Like Sarah said, they flicker just like real ones. I would just recommend putting them into holders or lanterns or so,etching to take the attention away from it.

My venue is the same way, I am using battery operated candles where I need candles. They look pretty good, especially when they're inside of something (floating on water or in a vase or holder). I've even seen them in fancy restaurants! Try amazon

Yes, because my family is clumsy, and so I am. I've heard the story of my aunt burning a hole through her veil too many times to consider real candles. I found adorable flameless votives on amazon. They have a tiny little wick (instead of a flame mold) and flicker.

I used some for mine...I wasn't the biggest fan of them, but if its the only option, they will have to work...just try to camouflage the flame portion. It will be fine!

We went to a venue that did not allow candles. We decided not to use them.

I'll be having a mix of votive and pillar battery because I don't want to clean out the holders they'll be in. I will have normal fire tealights in votive holders.

Attached are pics of the battery candles in their centerpieces.

Since we are discussing battery powered candles-has anyone seen ones that flicker white and not yellow? My votives are pink and it makes them look orange when the yellow light is inside. Anyone?

Led candles are me too!

I think I saw the white LEDs at joann

Were the flame/lights actually white? The ones I saw there had a yellow light.

@ Laura S- The candles look good! Do they flicker? We need to get candles like those for the ceremony and we also need the small votives

Its become pretty standard at venues, too much liability for open flame.

The battery ones will look just fine!

Marissa M, try looking for LED ones, they have white glow options.

It is becoming the norm, and the battery ones are just fine. The only deviation that I see is that many of my venues will allow unity candles.

Can the battery ones sit in water or are there special waterproof ones out there?
