Where can I get *CHEAP* Pillar candles?

Karen & Rene, on April 27, 2011 at 10:08 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 31

I finally decided on a centerpiece! Gven the fact that our budget is tight and we have already gone over it by twice as much, I believe this would be a nice alternative.

I am doing candles (see pics below, I am using only silver and rhinestones, no gold) and placing the small wood flowers from Etsy around it (yes I will spray with flame retardant spray). So where can I get candles for cheap? I have googled but they are about $4 a piece for the big ones, is there a place to get them cheaper? Again thank you so much ladies, you always steer us in the right direction.

    Have you tried the 99 cent stores in your areas? Colors and sizes vary but you may get lucky! Would be worth a trip to the store anyway. Also maybe try Walmart. I know they have them there but don't know how much they cost...

    Thank you! I tried Walmart and they are $4 for the big ones, the dollar store has the smaller ones, so I will go ahead and get those first. Ty ladies

    Before you buy the candles.. do you have a venue? Please check with the venue and be sure they allow open flames. Some places do not allow this kind of candle, and it needs to be ones incased in glass..

    after you have that answer, I will post some candle links.

    How many tables? Thinking 3 or 5 candles per table?

    I actually got my pillar candles (I only needed tall ones) at walmart. It was the cheapest place I could find. They were $2.88/candle ( I made sure I got the uncented ones as well)!

    I stayed clear of the scented ones. Depending upon how many candles you will have in the room the scent will become quite strong! I had to go in person and it was the walmart brand so I hope it burns ok.

    Wow! Thank you Hayley, this is really a great deal Smiley smile I am buying those, so far it is the best price! I will ask if they have them in ivory, if not white might have to work!

    I've heard that cheap candles will burn longer if you put them in the refrig or freezer until you need to use them.

    FYI I purchased the floating candles I needed for my wedding from Yummicandles.com and was very pleased with the quality and the price.

    @Latosha thank you. To all the ladies thank you so much, you are always great help! I just saw some at big lots too, a set of 3 for $5 however they are carved and do not help me at all, but for anyone interested in candels this might be a good choice!
