What I don't get is, if this is the look you want, why bother with the electricty. Wouldn't this be more impressive to the guests if they were all real candles?

I don't get the legths and expenses people will go to try to artificially recreate something that has been in existance since shortly after the wheel. I have no problem with the style shown in the picture, I just think there is an easier way to do it, and I have always thought authenticty is more impressive.
