id did one last year for my bf's wedding... its super easy... start looking for large and i mean large vases on sale racks like at marshalls, home goods or tg max (around $10.00 each) you may even get lucky and find some cheap ones at Michaels or Walmart. We went to a large candy surplus wholesale place where they sold the candy by the pound and had tons left over for 200 guests i think we spent about $350.00 on everything the candle and about 15 vases. we used only the colors of the wedding which was red so we used only red candy... My other friend also did this but saved all of the reciepts and price stickers for the vases and washed them in the dishwasher and returned them back to the stores and saved alot of money... just an idea... not sure if i could do that!
