The All Aglow Candlelight is magical and sensuous, and adds the perfect accent for a wedding centerpiece. The soft flickering adds a glow to the table, and the candlelight will put your guests in a most flattering light. This sassy arrangement gives modern flair to classic candles with its combination of a trifle dish, dot stickers, iridescent vase filler, and shimmery pillar candles. All of which were found at a national chain store in one quick shop. The dots were found in the office aisle, but look in the scrap booking aisle for a variety of colors and shapes to go with your particular color scheme. Candles can be expensive, but I lucked out and found these on clearance. I especially like the pearlized finish, but any plain white 4-inch pillar will do. Scented candles, while they smell nice, can prove to be more costly, and in addition the scent can overpower the meal.

The simplicity of this arrangement makes for a fun and approachable table, one that is inexpensive and easy to make but will shine the night away.

To make the All Aglow Centerpiece you'll first need to get the following materials:

The Steps:

1) Once your materials are assembled, first wipe down the trifle dish. Peel and stick the dots on in a pattern as shown, start with the dot at top and work your way from top to bottom so that the second and third dot in the row are at a diagonal. Continue until the entire trifle dish is covered in the pattern.

2) Open the filler and pour in until about 2 inches high. Twist the dish from side to side to even the sand-like filler out.

3) Place the candles in a triangular pattern and twist slightly to secure them in the filler.

4) Pour the remainder of the filler around the candles. Be sure to pour evenly. Again, twist the trifle dish slightly to even out the filler.



5) Light the candles and enjoy!

Putting together an arrangement doesn’t have to be costly or time consuming. All of the supplies were bought in one shop, and the assembling was quick and easy too. The whole arrangement came to just under .00. The Trifle Dish was .99, 3 Candles (id="blog_post".15each) were $ 3.45, Vase Filler was .99, and the Dots were id="blog_post".47.

Note: I found that the consistency of the vase filler was very fine, so if you need more, sugar would make an ideal substitute. It is also gritty like sand, and does come in the natural color as well, if you want to use a beach inspired theme but don’t live near the shore. Place a smattering of shells in the sand for a true washed ashore effect. On that note, there are many other ideas here; buttons, berries, tiny gems or even small butterflies would make fun added accents.
