I had found cheap vases for my centerpiece already, but votive holders were tricky. I loved the concept of mercury glass, but price per piece was too high, and diy ones just weren't doing it for me. IKEA saved me from going crazy online! They had a great smoky gray with a hint of blue which are gorgeous. I believe they were pkg of 3 for 2, and candles are insanely cheap 100/ 3.
I love IKEA even if I had to brave the store and traffic on Labor Day.
