Illumination

Last night I put together a mock-up of our table number luminaries. I got this idea last week from someone on The Knot (knottie GlenLakeLove). On Tuesday or Wednesday, I picked up just enough supplies to make one of them. So last night I took a little break from invitations to play around a bit with this.

Here are the photos, first one without the candle lit, and the second one all lit up.

It came out well, so this will actually be Table 3 at our wedding! The only thing I have to tweak is the candle I'm using inside. I don't like how there is a shadow line inside. Apparently, Heather (GlenLakeLove) was able to find "mini" pillar candles that didn't create such an effect. Not only that, but it illuminated the entire table number, so it looks nicer.

I'm waiting for a glassware sale to go back and buy the rest of the supplies I need. I'll be stalking the craft store ads!

I'll post instructions on how to make these in the next several weeks, once I'm done with invitations and stuff and I'm working on making the rest of these.

Oh, and I'll be selling these after the wedding. I don't think I'll have much use for 15-20 candles with table numbers on them. So if you're having an aqua wedding and you'd like these for your wedding, let me know. We return from our honeymoon on July 5, so I'll be able to ship them out after that.
