I was at Michael's Craft Store the other day and found some cute heart shape bottles there for 50 cents a piece and was thinking about integrating them into our centerpieces. Any ideas of what we could do with them?
Here's a picture of one of them (I was just playing around with the tissue paper, ignore that):

We were also throwing around the idea of using Glade Scented Oil candles for centerpieces and just tying cute little bows around the base of them. Here's a sample of our idea:

Any ideas? Thanks so much!
Update:nghtsky: we're DEFINITELY going to use the candles sparingly. We're gonna use some regular unscented candles in cool holders, too. Hopefully, they'll soak up the excess aroma.
Update 3:I measured the heart bottles, they're 3.5 inches tall and 2.75 inches wide at the widest point.

First off, the Glade scented oil candles are a really neat idea, but use them SPARINGLY ... the aroma will be overwhelming if you have a lot of these very fragrant candles in the room. The ribbon is a nice touch, too.
Other than that ... I think the little bottles are adorable. I don't know how many you have, but you could definitely incorporate them as secondary centerpieces, though, since they're so small, you may find you want more than that. Maybe you could put little flowers (stephanotis, spray roses) in them, or white feathers, or even roll a pretty decorative paper into a tube, and have that standing up out of it - like a love note that was too tall for it's bottle.
Another idea - look at what you're doing with your 'main' centerpiece ... if it's the Glade oil candle, and you're just tying a ribbon around it, maybe you get a white ribbon to tie around the neck of these, so that they offset each other.
i like the idea of the glade candles. it will smell great and be romantic at the same time.
as for the bottles... how large are they?
maybe putting a samll bouquet of flowers in each heart shaped bottles? like carnations
