You can also use tea candles, they come in all pretty designs and colors At my sis's mehindi I had decorated the hall with balloons and tea candles and it looked very pretty.

those little chinses candles that are not pretty and can be bought from any chinee store
I hate both men and women, and am afraid of animals, so basically I am very very lonely.

I don't know about other people but I found them pretty, I bought them from wal-mart and joan fabrics, mine were of rose shapes and they were of pretty shades and had little glitter on them . The float in water and you can throw some petals in the waters and it looks very pretty.
