Wedding Tea Lights vs. Candles

[Class n Sass]

I am ordering square votive holders for my reception. Here is the link for the holders:

Would you order tea lights or candles? I guess it''s a personal thing but I would just like the feedback of others.

Thanks!!

Did you get the clear ones or the ... mind blank ... not clear ones? If you got the clear, I''d go candle because I think it looks better. If not clear, I''d go tealight because I think it''s cheaper.

I like the frosted, and would to tea lights with those. But make sure the are the type with a really long burning time. I saw some at michaels today that were great in terms of burn time. If you are getting the clear, either votives or tealights that don''t have metal, that have a clear plastic holder.

Yeah, what she said.

I am going to get the clear ones.

With that size holder, I''d say tea lights; they''ll look fantastic. But, how long is the reception? My experience with tea lights is that they don''t last as long as you may need.

The reception is 4 hours long

Get ones that are rated for 10 hours. They usually over estimate the burn time by half.
