Things you should know about candles

I Love Candles!

Setting the mood at your reception with the elegant flame of a candle is undeniable. However, here are three things you should know before setting your sights on this option.

1. Check with your venue to make sure they allow an open flame - there are many indoor venues that prohibit open flame, this means that you have to go with battery operated candles instead. This rule is by order of the Fire Marshal!

 2. If having your reception outdoors make sure the flame of your candle sits two or more inches below the rim of the glass holder - otherwise, even the slightest breeze will blow them all out.

3. We can't say this enough! Make sure you buy drip-less candles... This will prevent a pooling mess and save your linens from suffering any damages.
