Do you want to save money on wedding candles? When you know where to buy candles for your wedding in bulk, you’ll cut costs and add romantic lighting to your space for less than you may think.

Candles are a great addition to any centerpiece design and there are several candle styles from which to choose.

But you may be wondering where to buy candles for weddings in bulk for cheap — yet made with good quality.

To help, we’ve done some digging and we’ve found a few places to shop bulk candles for weddings. We’ve also figured out exactly what to look for to ensure your candles are the best quality possible.

Before you buy bulk candles for cheap, figure out what kind of candles you’d like to use. Each candle offers a different style, whether tall skinny candles (like tapers) or wide (like pillar candles). If you want very low candles so guests can see across the tables, votive or tealight candles are your best option.

What candles can you buy in bulk?

For weddings, you can buy any candles in bulk (yay!) because now they’re all available online. The candles you find online aren’t any different than you might find at a venue… and you’ll get a huge deal buying in bulk.

The most common types of candles you’ll find for wedding centerpieces include pillar candles, votive candles, taper candles, jar candles, and floating candles, just to name a few. We’re highlighting those five bulk candle options for weddings since they’re the most commonly used and offer the most affordable price.

We’ll also tell you where to buy LED candles in bulk for cheap, in case your venue doesn’t allow real candles (some prohibit real flames as a safety precaution).

And if you’re going rustic and want to cut costs even more, skip the candle holders and place pillar candles on top of these rustic wood slices instead. (Aren’t they amazing?) You can buy them here.

You can also use these birch candle holders! I love this look. By SeanRaineDesigns.

Let’s get started!

1. Bulk pillar candles

Pillar candles look best placed in a trio on a tray or individually in glass hurricane candle holders. Pillar candles can really add up in price, so it is best to buy in bulk for weddings, especially candles with a long burn time and dripless wick. These by Bolsius offer both for a great price.

The minimalist yet elegant candle holders/hurricanes can be purchased online here and are a great deal. After the wedding, use them at home, give them away to family and friends, or re-sell them.

In addition, these stemmed candle holders are another beautiful choice. By Diamond Star.

2. Votive candles

These may not seem fancy but they’re definitely all you need for bulk votive candles. In this affordable bulk candle box, you’ll get 72 unscented candles with a long burn time (a definite plus!) and no scent. By Hosley.
