Help my fellow dissers!
I have 2 wedding showers in the next couple of weeks for 2 very special people in my life (my brother and future sister in law and one of my oldest childhood friends). I have been out of the wedding circuit for many years as I am in my mid 30s.
I found an awesome wedding poem for candles (see below) and I know it would be PERFECT for each shower (in addition to the traditional gift I am getting each of them). But, I need to find the candles to go with the gift. I do not burn candles normally, but I am looking for the stick type of candles for the candlestick holders.
Where can I get a good price and a good color selection? I do not want to order online, but buy in a brick and mortar store (b & m )Thank you for your help!!!!
A Basket of Candles For (Bride's name)
A basket of candles that come in a pair
in all different colors, for you two to share.
The white ones burn first;
they are wrapped in white lace
to celebrate your first married night
in your new chosen place.
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner;
burn with the first company you have over for dinner.
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight;
use them to burn while making up all night.
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
for your first married Valentines Day.
Now, when your first year of marriage is through,
the cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright;
celebrate promotions youve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
you can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby.
And just when you thought youd put these away,
take the light blue ones out for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left - for the big "two five" -
the anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.
Congratulations (Bride and Groom)
on the start of your forever.
May the two of you always be happy together.
And burn these candles just the way we said,
but please dont forget: blow them out before bed!
