These were ours! They looked incredible. The pictures don’t do them justice. HOWEVER later in the night a bunch of them took on water and they went out and could not be relit. It didn’t bother me at that point because I was having so much fun, but just something to keep in mind about floating candles!

I didn't do these personally. However, 17 years ago, my sister & I bought $2 ivory pillar candles and borrowed the florists cylinder glass holders.
