Open flames at indoor reception?

Hi all! Need some advise! I'm planning on a combination of flowers and candles as my centerpieces. I'm having a tuscan styled theme and have my heart set on these wrought iron candle holders for pillar candles. Problem is that I'm hearing that I will need to enclose the candles in some sort of hurricane cover in order to comply with the fire marshal, my questions is..... Where do I find these covers? I've looked all over. Maybe I'm just not calling them the right thing? Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Save-on-crafts, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, amazon, etsy, walmart and Dollar Tree bulk even.

    I think pretty much any store that sells candles probably has these. You just mean a glass cylinder to put over the candle, yes?

    Yes, but I'm looking for something smaller than your typical hurricane cylinder (3 inches or so diameter) for smaller pillar candles that will sit on a stand. It can't have a glass bottom because the candle stand has spikes to secure the candle with. I'm finding large hurricane covers or smaller ones with a full glass cup. Anyone?

    Have you considered the flameless wax ones?

    Have you already bought these candle holders? It sounds like your best bet would be looking for different ones that already have glass.

    I'd suggest looking for plan B.  I had holders and then tried these little holders that sit around the flame... they melted...  I ended up just returning the candle holders and buying new ones with hurricanes.

    This - If you use the ones where there's just a glow (you don't actually see the flame) they're really pretty and you don't have to use a shield. Plus, you don't have to worry about swapping out the candles if they burn down too far during the reception.
