Growing up in the Parker family we had 2 Kerosene Oil Lamps. (see above)
We lit them during Hurricanes, or Christmas. The oil could range from Red to Green colors.
I use to love playing with the wick in the lamp to see how high or low I could get the flame, until Dad told me to stop.
Tonight I got this BRILLIANT idea!
Why not use Oil Lamps as part of my centerpiece!!
So tonight I went browsing online trying to figure out how much they range, They are anywhere from 50-600 dollars..untilllllll I found this one site that has 13inch oil lamps for $6.00!!! It would cost me about 70 dollars to do all my tables! Not to bad for Chelsey's wedding!
I will still have traditional flowers along with the lamps for the centerpieces. I think it's going to give it a real Colorado homey feel. Which is exactly what I want! Plus it's different from the typical candle!
OH and I can have BLUE lamp oil to add COLOR!
YAY!
