I have been trolling the internet to find bulk candles as a great rate. In my inital design consultation with my florist we agreed that I would provide the candles so as to cut down the cost and she would provide the glass containers they are to sit in (check with your vendor because a lot of places have rules against open flames - plus I think the glass enhances the effect of the candles.)
I started out by doing a Google search and found a number of vendors that sell candles as good rates. By far I found that Dining by Candlelight a wholesale internet seller had the best prices. They sell votive/tea light and pillar candles as well as containers.
I was most interested in their pillar candles, which can be costly else where. They sell the traditional 3" wide and also a 2.25" wide one known as a chamber pillar. I went with the chamber pillar since they are a little less costly and just as effective. They burn anywhere from 30-70 hours depending on the size.

And as you can see they were even discounting them below normal price. Off course I got the sale sizes (2.25", 4", & 8"). Still need to get some 6" which I am hoping they discount and tealights which I have seen for better prices than Dining at other vendors.

I was a little freaked out when during the check out process they asked for a tax id and company name in order to preceed, however, I filled in dummy values and my transaction went through.
Can't wait to receive them. And candles store well for years so no need to worry that there are almost 11 months to the wedding.
We plan to use them on the alter during the ceremony and lining the aisle, as well as on all the reception tables.
My question is what the heese am I going to do with all these half burned candles after the wedding?
