"Hi, I'm Jessica Meiczinger, with Simply Divine Events, and I'm going to show you what to do next when you are building your garden theme centerpiece. Basically, you want to choose a candle that is tall and not low, so it sticks up high. Usually, a good rule of thumb is two to three inches below the lip of the vase. You want to choose something that's tall and wide and stable, so that you don't have to worry about it knocking over or you know, burning the filler around it. If you don't want to do a pillar candle, you can always do something like floating candles. So you would fill your vase up to about here, and then have your candles floating on the top of the water. And make sure there is enough room so there's no way that the candle's going to blow out with you know, wind or you know, the air conditioning blowing. So, those are just some ideas on how to choose a candle for your do-it-yourself garden wedding theme centerpiece."
