I don't have pics of my set up but I am using tea light candles for my small jars. My decision was because these are going to be outside and I like guests seeing the candle inside, and tea lights are so small and some are poured in metal and I would rather white show through the jar. If they are just going to be in the dark or something, then candle light is what people will see not the candle. Hopefully that makes your decision easier, mason jar brides gotta stick together! :)

Thanks Vic004. At first I was leaning toward votives because I thought I liked the look of them better but now I'm thinking tea lights. I guess we're doing sand in the bottom. Did you use sand in yours? With tea lights, I'm just worried about the burn time.

Here's some pictures. The first one is with tealights, and the second one is with votives. I think as long as you get the long-burning tealights, they'll stay lit for 5-6 hours.

Wait I am mistaken, i am using votives! It fills the jars up more for some reason. And no phishphan I am not using sand but I am using little ribbons like in Mrs. Springs photo.
Came across this today, and thought I would share the link here. She used tea lights from Ikea (which are larger than traditional tea lights, so they burn longer). Hope this helps any other mason jar brides! :)

I'm doing mason jar centerpices. Some jars will have flowers and the others will have candles. Should I use tea light candles or votive candles? Does anyone have any pictures of either set-up? Thanks in advance!
