‘Tis the season for wedding festivities. If you are hosting a bridal shower or a bachelorette party and looking for some decorating ideas, here’s a simple, festive and inexpensive idea for you. Mini wedding cake candles look great when displayed in numbers. Use a rectangular glass block or candle holder, line up the candles and you have yourself a very simple centerpiece. The mini cake candles would also look great displayed on a glass cake stand in a large group for a similar effect.
Many of the mini wedding cake candles out there are pretty tacky. I found a few that are simple and look nicer than most on the market.
Small Pearl Wedding Cake Candle – available at Candles.com for $5.99 each

*A little more expensive than the average mini wedding cake candle but, unlike most of the others I found, they are very simple. They are also available in a larger size, so you can vary your display with large and small candles.
Elegant Lace Wedding Cake Candle – available at icestandar.org for $1.84 each

*This one even comes with its’ own mini cake stand you can use as a candle holder, but it does have the extra pastic packaging, which isn’t very eco-friendly. Try asking for it without the plastic box if you are using them decoratively and not giving them as a favor.
Those mini wedding cakes are really cool looking and not a bad price either. If you need other wedding decorations you should check out http://www.uscandleco.com . They have unity candles plus a ton of unscented colored candles. Of course they have all kinds of scented candles too.
Very nice and relatively inexpensive. What a marvelous idea. You do have good taste.
you can also buy candles just like this at the dollar store 🙂 you may even be able to find the glass blocks there but not to sure.
Love the pictured small pearl candles and the the multi-candle holder. Cannot get info on them on the website provided. Help!
The pearl-studded candles are no longer available so I referenced similar candles that you can use as a substitute. The candle holder is a basic, long tealight/ votive holder. Here is one that is similar to the one shown.
