Platinum for Pennies: Candle Table
March 30, 2009
With our recession brides in mind, we’ve created a new type of post called Platinum for Pennies. Enjoy!
On a recent visit to a florist, I spied a gorgeous table filled with oversized silver candlesticks in varying styles like the photo below.

Enter your friend and mine: Ikea! For the bargain price of $8 to $10 each (depending on size), you can fill a table with their expensive-looking “Skimmer” candles without breaking your budget. Still out of your budget? Raid your nearest Salvation Army and pick up candle holders there for around $1 each and mix and match.

Great budgeting tip. Love when the words “simple” and “inspired” work together and candle sticks of varying heights and styles have the potential to create a lot of drama!
