votive candles- length of time

how long do the typically burn for?  i got a few cases on glass votives with the candles at ac moore, michaels, and walmart but it doesnt say.

If they are the ones in the little metal/plasit cups they usually last 2-3 hours if they are the taller ones (the next size up) they will typically last the length of the wedding. They call them 10hour usually but I find they don't usually last more then 6-7.

they are in the glass cups.  are those the longer ones?  i wonder if they will burn for 6 hours. i hope so!

these are the 3 hour ones these are the "10" hour ones but they usually last around 6-7 hours They should be fine for the whole wedding.

I actually bought the same candles you posted (frosted).  I am going to burn one and see how it goes.  Great price right!

i was going to test one, but i spray painted all of mine the color of the dresses.  it was time consuming so i dont want to waste one! let me know how it goes

Isn't spray paint flammable? I would test one (outside in the open) just to make sure it isn't a fire hazard.

i got the idea to spray paint from a florist who was going to charge me like $150 to give me the candles.  i looked into it before i spray painted and should be fine.  i did a test also to double check. dont want a fire god forbid!
