Candles are amazing and we love them. If you want to add elegance to an event, add candles. If you are on a tight  budget, yet you want to give the look of elegance, use candles. If you hate flowers, use non-floral centerpieces and candles!  You cannot lose.  Floating candles, taper candles, pillar candles, candelabras, and more. Below are some candle centerpieces and decor ideas we have used over the years. Some are in dim settings and also natural light setting.  I hope they inspire.

Did you know that there are several different types of bouquets? Most are familiar with Cascading or Round bouquets, but there are also Tussy Mussy, Hand Tied, Nosegay and Composite, to name a few. With everything at a standstill with Covid, I wanted to share some of my favorite bouquets over the year. Maybe it will help you step out of the box for your wedding.
