3. Lighting Photo Centerpieces

Create these amazing centerpieces by opening four frames and removing the glass and backing. Tape a photo to the frame so that the printed side is out, but the photo is secure in the frame. Hot glue the four frames together in a square, each photo facing out. Next, place a votive or tea light candle in the center of the frames!

4. Lighting Table Numbers

You can recreate this gorgeous idea at your own wedding by using modgepodge to add numbers and words printed on paper to a glass candleholder. Simply print the words or numbers you want, cut to the size of the candle, apply modgepodge to the candleholder and press the paper on. Cover with another coat of the modgepodge and you’re done. Place a candle in the holder for a pretty glow!
