Silver Candelabra

We've got a wedding coming up in June and the bride wants to have silver candelabras, which is fine but because I don't want to hold them in stock I've told the bride that she needs to buy them outright, which she's agreed to do, any ideas on where to buy, I've tried my regular sundries wholesaler and they only do the megabucks ones, I'm after a simple three arm candelabra, just silver plated, any ideas???

I think the silver type ones are generally quite expensive but they are lovely. Country baskets has a few different types if you are near one of them. Or try hiring them off an events company near you

ooh I never knew you could rent them off ebay....oh the wonders of ebay. Is there anything you can't buy on there I wonder

I bought one of the big posh ones from CBs to use with my wedding window, it was expensive but its all shiny and nice and its really handy to have one to show brides the scale for quoting etc

What about places like Au naturale? Tk maxx etc? Might not be as big as you are looking for though.

thanks for all your replies guys, this will give me a starting point I'll let you know how I get on, I did think of spraying and discounted it because the bride wants shiny rather than matt finish however i might still look into this option, thanks again.

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for?
My local wholesaler Rainbow Florist Supplies stocks them, I had a picture as an example but haven't used them myself but they look really good. I'm sure they sell them online too.
