Such a great video! Thank you for the clarity and transparency. So many people (myself included) often overlook the cost of candle holders. 💁🏻♀️ Super useful guide.

Thank you for this video, it was a so much help for me
You're welcome!
Omg I cracked up 😂 when she said “COSTCO SELLS WEDDING FLOWERS”
Excellent!
Thank you this is really helpful! I’m also wanting to get a quote from HEB for bouquets and centerpieces 😆
beautiful venue!
So helpful!
Def helpful. I’ve heard Greta things about HEB flowers and cakes.
love this!! Thank you :) Would you mind also sharing a little more about the different styles of candles and also the arrangement of the garlands and candles?
Hi Tricia, thanks for your comment. All the candles and candle holders including their sizes and prices are listed in the description. The candle holders were basically placed alternating between sizes on the table and integrated into the garland. I didn't mention this, but all the candle holders on the mantle that are the mercury-glass-types are actually from TJ Maxx, and they were $5 each :). Good luck with your planning.
very helpful!
3:02 flaccid flowers coming at ya! haha
We appreciate you!!!!
Thank you!
Thank you
I think this was awesome
THANK YOU!!!
Great video!! I'm interested in what city you are located in as I am looking for a day of coordinator also!
that’s sooo helpful!!!! but wait… there no more videos??!
Is it possible to cut the garlands into smaller pieces?
Hi! Thank you SO much for this video. It is incredibly helpful! I am also getting my bouquet from H‑E‑B but there quote for table arrangements was a little to much for my budget. The tables at my venue are circle... do you think I can cut the 6 ft strands in half with sharp garden shears and zip tie them into circles? I am worried the strands may not bend well into a circle shape? I am looking forward to hearing your advice! I know Costco sells circle ones but they only have a 3.5” hole for a candle and I have a bigger candle arrangement from my venue
Hi Amanda! Unfortunately, the garlands are made of branches, not vines, so you won't be able to mold them into circles. I didn't realize the Costco ones were that small.... You might also consider getting fake ones. They make a lot of very realistic-looking ones at Hobby Lobby/Michaels. I had circular candle arrangements which I paid the venue for in the center of my round tables, too. I bought two orders of Costco flower petals and had them scattered all around the centerpieces. It was a very cost-effective way of making the centerpieces look lush and romantic, but kept costs down. ;)
@@thriftelixir9312 thank you so much for your response and suggestions! This video provided great inspiration for cost effective decorations :)
@@amandabeaver7157 What did you end up doing for your center pieces. I had the same thought of molding them into circles; I am so happy I watched this video and read the comments..... I would really like to have a lush looking garland to surround my floating candles.
/nice! where did you get the candle from
Where did you get the candle holders from?
When you say trim the flowers did you cut the stems so she just had to pop them in, or did you keep them in water and she cut them off when creating the look? May I ask what you spent on your wedding party flowers from the grocery florist? I'm probably going to do our sweetheart table and cake flowers, but I have a florist currently for wedding party and centerpieces. You are correct. Not cheap!
Hi Gina, I cut the stems, put them into water in a bucket, then brought the bucket of flowers to the coordinator. I gave the florist a $1200 budget, which includes two large ceremony arrangements and an sign-in table arrangement. I had my baker who makes reeeeeeeeeally pretty sugar flowers do that instead of dealing with the hassle of getting fresh flowers to the baker. It might be worth looking into. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this video! I'm thinking of ordering the Costco garlands but they are a bit thicker and bushier than I'd like - do you think they could be easily pulled apart into a few thinner garlands for long table runners?
Hi Gabriela, from what I remembered I don't think that will be easy. I remember that they're all tightly tied and wound together.
@@ThanhTranonline okay awesome thank you for the response that's super helpful!!
Presentation is Too much of a virgo vibe for me.
Carnations smell like a funeral home 😳
