Once again, I call upon the wonderful brides....

You guys helped me out last time I was stumped, so I am going to press my luck and go for another time...

I made (in my opinion) some really cool unity candles for our wedding on 7/4... I have two kids already, so i wanted them included in the ceremony, so i made 4 tapered candles and one big pillar candle... I have only been able to find VERY expensive unity candle holders that hold all 5 candles (like $80 or more) and i think they are not very attractive...

So, that brings me to my problem... what do i put these candles in... I am pretty crafty, so i thought I could make something, but my creative juices are at an all time low... So any help would be greatly appreciated

I know there are going to be some great ideas out there...

Here are some pictures of the candles that I made.. i hope this works... I am new to posting pictures

If you want all the candles together, you could put them in a glass bowl filled with colourful sand Maybe even with the pillar candle in the middle of all four of them.

I like the bowl/sand idea. I would try and find a floating candl bowl to use, as it is nice and shallow, like this one for the pillar candle:

And then I would give the tapers their own votive holders, also filled with sand, like these:

That way you could arrange the however you want across the table. Hope that helps! (And glad to see your flags done! They turned out fab! )

Edit: While browsing the first site, I found this:

Kind of reminds me of something in Epcot, don't ya think?

My friend just got married. Their set up was very simple. She used votives in the glass globes to light wicks. They didn't use tapers b/c the church didn't want the wax to drip. She didn't put anything under the unity candle. It was only lit for a little bit.

You could just use inexpensive clear candle holders, possibly have each person pick out their own. Then when you get home you can display them
