I was somewhat reticent about using my own tealight designs at my wedding in July, but I am really delighted that I did. The tealights and candle holders gave a really great personal touch to the proceedings, and added hugely to the ambience; the subtle fragrances in the Simply English tealight range of Lavender, Rose, Lilly of the Valley, Cucumber and Strawberry wafted delicately around the marquee throughout the afternoon and evening. The quality of our tealights shone through too, in that the long burning time meant none of the tealights needed replacing throughout the whole occasion !
The tealight colours sat really well with the 'sweety' theme of the wedding, complementing perfectly the bouquets, button holes and vases that were brimming with a mixture of marshmallows, love hearts, jelly beans, dolly mixtures and flowers. It was really pleasing to see how easily the uniformity of the Block tealight holders sat alongside the other soft, irregular and natural forms within the table arrangements.
The wide choice of sizes available within the Block tealight collection offered us great versatility with the table arrangements, and it was really good to see many friends and family re-arranging their own tealights to suit their needs throughout the day; the children even managed to toast some marshmallows on them… although of course we would not recommend this !
