I saw this too, and it goes along with what I was already planning on having for centerpieces.

I was thinking about either having just one on a mirror, or a couple with various heights on a mirror. Pretty? Yes, no? Or....maybe mix it up and have both round and square ones, huh, huh?

K, I need to lay off the sugar now.
And where does one buy square candles wholesale?

I love the candles on mirror look. We used that at my reception for my first wedding.

Try the dollar store for cheap candles.

I think that is a great idea. I love it.

Funny! Spike and Tike! The dogs on Looney tunes! I can totally see you jumping up and down!

I LOVE those candles! I'd go for all square, different heights.

Have some time on your hands? Make them. Using milk cartons! When I was little my Dad would buy parrafin and we'd add food colouring and then decorate with glitter etc...and we just used milk cartons of varying heights.

All those craft stores have wicks and wax and all that. I don't know where you'd buy them inexpensively.

Oh I love those!

I think it was Chilli that posted a pic of a candle garden centre piece on mirror... I'll go see if I can find it...
ETA:

I'm no help at all when it comes to sourcing things over there! I'd be able to tell you where to get them if you lived near me though!

I'm still looking for those longer burning tea lights, they're a wee bit taller than the normal ones but last quite a bit longer...

I like the square better than the round! More sophisticated! I say square, different heights.

I like the idea of the square too!! We are doing the round pillars different heights...and I couldn't find anywhere that had wholesale prices that I was willing to pay...so we made our own...much cheaper...

Good Luck!

And a mirror would be pretty.

I think making them wouldn't be to hard. If u have a Big lots near u look there. I have seen candles like these there. But it might be hard to find a lot of them at the same time.
