This is what was created.. Our candle is the inside glass and it was placed inside another vase. They were both placed onto a large sea grass coaster and had rocks and shells placed around them. The arrangment was placed in the centre of the tables.
These candles were used on the gift table.
Here it is. The finished product, on the table and alight for the wedding feast. Looked great.
THANK YOU TO KEITH and FIONA. We hope you have a great future together.
