For decorating our wedding & reception, what is considered a “covered candle”?
Hi,
I’m getting married in a historic home, and I was wondering: what does a “covered candle” look like? The executive director said I can use candles as long as they’re covered, but I’m not sure I exactly know what that means….
Can I use votive candle holders? clear glass bowls for floating candles and blossoms? candles in glass jars?
I desperately need pictures so I know what to buy. I’d hate to buy a lot of candles and then not be able to use them.
Also, for anyone who has been married inside a historic home/museum: are you allowed to have a unity candle service? I know I’ll need to ask the executive director to be sure, but I’d just like to be educated about this before I ask.
And any pictures/links you could post from your wedding of covered candles WOULD BE AWESOME!!
Thank you a whole bunch for your help. 
You really need to ask the director at the venue. They may have very specific rules, and you don’t want to get all set up the day before the wedding (or worse, day of) and have them tell you no.
There are some homes that we looked at when we were searching for a venue, that have very different rules.
Check with the specific place to avoid an issue
