Votive Designs

A night reception can be made absolutely wonderful by using tea light or votive candles in holders to create designs. If you want to take a few extra safety precautions, use flameless tea lights.

Fairy Jars

Cut a glow stick open and pour the contents into a jar. Sprinkle in a little glitter before putting the top on the jar and shaking. The result is a beautiful light without any flames or electricity. This will need to be done just before the reception.
