Wedding HELP! Can''t find candelabras for candlelight wedding!

[MaggieB]

I am in DEEP trouble. We are getting married at sunset in this chapel. The floral decoration is obviously from another wedding. Try to look under all the flowers - the decor in there is very simple, everything is wood and black wrought iron lights and sconces. We thought it would be relatively easy to rent black wrought iron candelabras to go with the decor, but I cannot find them anywhere. The three rental places near our chapel in South Carolina only have brass and white. We live in Orlando and will be driving through Jacksonville, so I tried both of those cities, also no black wrought iron. Does anyone know where I could rent something???

Or can you come up with a suggestion for something else? Our photographer specified that we have a floor candelabra on each side at face height with as many candles as possible so that our faces will be in our pictures!

Could you rent or bring small tables and table cloths and put table top candelabras on top? Or can you not find either?

Off to search since I want them too!

Yeesh. What about your florist? They could have them to rent.

My florist was the one that told me I wouldn''t find wrought iron candelabras . . .

How many do you need? Will the table idea work? I think it''d be awfully hard to find floor standing ones. Maybe you can buy them and then sell after the wedding?

They are lovely, Loves Vintage! I will look into the table idea. I know originally that we were told we couldn''t use a table because of where the light needed to be, and where the minister needed to stand. But - I think I''m going to have to look into Plan B.

Don't know your budget. But these have 9 tapers each and they would look amazing linining the aisle. They are also the right height. If you can afford it, I would do 4 of them.

Gypsy! I wasn''t going to page you because I wanted you to enjoy some time being Mrs. Gypsy before you got back to work fixing all our problems! Thank you for your wonderful suggestion though. No - we hadn''t budgeted to buy them but those are pretty reasonable really and look perfect, so we will have to think about juggling the budget around a bit.

I''m going to jack my own thread here - just wanted to tell you that you looked so beautiful and happy at your wedding, and yes, your flowers were AMAZING!!!! All the best to you!
