Finally, Candles are done and delivered. We went to the wedding Saturday and had an absolute blast! Of course, we cried when the Bride and Groom said their "I Do's". Then came the partie! The food was great. They had stuffed mushrooms with crab and lobster. I love all three by themselves and to have them together is lovely. There was also chicken in a mushroom and garlic sauce, herb potatoes, green beans with chucks of bacon( umm...yes hubby was snarky enough to say to me, Hope these weren't from Wisconsin), Shrimp, meatballs, salad, and a chocolate fountain. There was plenty of the sparkly,wine,beer...you name it, it was there. They had these little bells at every place setting and if rung, bride and groom had to stop what they were doing and kiss.....we rang it every...2 secs...I bet they hate those bells now...lol. Hey that's what you get when you load people with drinks and had them bells with any power. Sadly though...we couldn't stay as long as we wanted. I had to be at work at 2am. Sucks! Fun was had and I got many compliments on the candles. The scent is where it is at. They look a bit ordinary, but they smell wonderful without even being burned. Like I said...I'm never doing red on anything white again. It is too hard not having stains around the edges, or God for bide you have a spill like I did. With wax....There is always a bit of a spill here and there. I am now going to start on a new project...making my own candles to sell. It's alot more fun that way. Not nearly the stress. I'll make them from beginning to end product. That way I know where to get supplies if the need arises. I will not to another project with only two weeks time. Very Valuable lessonsc learned here...
Hey did I mention here that during this process I lost about 15lbs? I got into a dress I haven't worn since...ummm...1998. 1 for them home team!

I charged 1.50 per candle on these. They were a bit though as the bride already had them decorated and she had no extras or any way of getting more buckets. So I charged a bit more. I had alot of hours in them...I know they seem simple, but they really weren't cause you could not have a splash in any way or a resulting stain would appear.
I ended up using over 5lbs of wax. for 40 candles. Total price was 60.00.
