Can you use candles in your wedding design?
With so many images on Pinterest with candles being used, it’s really important that before you start designing, that you check with your venue that you’re allowed to burn an open flame.
Some venues have strict regulations due to fire safety concerns, while others may allow candles if they are contained in lanterns or votives to minimise risk.

Does my Wedding Stylist supply the Candles?
We do supply candles with for our couples, as we want to take away as much decor stress as possible.
But we have had couples bring their own candles. Which you might think is a great cost-saving tip, right? Not so fast. If your supplying your own, there's a case for splurging a bit more on candles.
Intrigued? Let's find out why.

The Burn Time...
Here's an insider secret: Not all candles are born equal. Some are sprinters, not marathoners.
Imagine this scenario: You kick off your wedding breakfast with a beautiful and romantic setting, but as you reach the main course, the candles are nearly burnt out.
Which will be such a disappointment. Pay attention to the specifics when buying candles. It's disheartening to invest in candles that burn out quickly. As they will need to be replaced and re-lit. Which is not a great look, extra stress on the day and it's not good for the budget.
TOP TIP* Ensure your candles last throughout your dinner.

Pillar Candles
The same thoughts apply to these too. If they burn too quickly, they might be over before the end of your ceremony.

Mind the Drips...
Cheap candles are great for the budget, but they can drip and create a waxen mess on tables, candlesticks, and even guests. It's not just about the potential damage and extra cleanup costs, but it also detracts from the elegant vibe you're aiming for. Make sure your candles come with a 'NO DRIP' guarantee.

Try Before You Buy...
