Tea lights lasting through the ceremony?

@sara I thought about LEDs but they never look real enough to me

@Melody we're getting married in an auto museum. They have a bunch of old school trailers and campers, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. A BUNCH of Evil Knievil signed stuff too. FH is a bicycle mechanic/car lover and I (in my better days) did pin up modeling and have always had an affinity for the classic cars. It fit us perfectly venue-wise and ALSO was only $500.00 for the space as a "donation" to the museum. WIN WIN WIN to me...lol

Wow! That sounds awesome!

@bailey that is what I was thinking too.

How about the LED tea lights? They have the same effect as real

@not that mary I feel like ive never seen any fakes that look quite right

Spend the $ and get longer lasting ones. Cheap tea lights include water in the wax. When the wax burns, there's not enough wax/heat to burn the water off before the wick is cover in water. 100% soy/bees wax candles are worth the $ if needing the time.

Sara, your comment is correct. They burn longer because the water has to thaw.

Get the long burning one from Michaels.

@possum I think I will go look for them, We tried the ones last night and they made it to 4 hours, but just over. Think it could be worth it to go get longer lasting ones.

Get ones that last slightly longer - if they burn out too quickly, it'll be more than a matter of "lights out". You'll have to make sure that the containers they are in are fireproof and not on wood or plastic (like a table) because it is a HUGE fire hazard.

@judi They will be inside lanterns so no worries about hazards.
