Tealights for the masses

I envision the wedding being lit by only candlelight besides my 'chandelier'. I want it to feel warm and intimate - I feel like lighting makes or breaks an event/place. I know, I'm a little nuts! Pravda charges me $1.50/tealight which includes candles, candle holders and the lighting labor (whatever that is supposed to mean). I need 228 candles just for the windows which equates to about $350 which is not a ton of money, but everything adds up so I'm trying to be aware of every penny. If I bring in my own candles and holders, they charge me $.50 per candle for 'lighting labor'. They said it's some fire law, but I don't really believe them :) So, thanks to my favorite little store called IKEA, I was able to purchase all the candles and holders - with the labor fees, it still is cheaper than what they were going to charge. Well worth it to me, now i have a ton of cute tealight holders for furture parties and I'm sure each firend and family member will benefit as well ;) Here's the goods:



My friend's (Ronda) sister is nice enough to provide all the tealight holders for the tables which we really appreciate!
