Candelabras...where to buy?
So for my wedding it is going to be black and white with fuschia flowers for an accent color and a little silver added into the mix here and there. I want to keep everything looking elegant and formal. I think I might like to do some candelabras if I can get some at a good price. I want them to be taller so they are not obstructing peoples view if they are on tables. I found some but really don't want to spend $100 for more each one. I was thinking do flowers on the taller center part and lights/candles on the other outside parts. sorry my terminology here is terrible but I have no idea what they are actually called. the one in the first pic is from origincrafts.com. I have also found some at gallery84.com that are the same as the picture and actually taller than the ones at the other site. I found the black ones on ebay for a really good price like $20 a piece but I'm not sure if 17 3/4" tall will be tall enough to not be in the way? Does anyone know where else I can find candelabras at a really good price?

Need HELP!!! Fuschia flowers?
Ladies I need YOUR HELP!!! I am having the hardest time finding flowers that I like. I went to a few different florists in town and showed them the picture of the lily I wanted called Avonlea. They all said they couldn't get that flower :'( I am super bummed about that cause I pretty much had my heart set on that flower. The florist I think I am going to use (if I use one at all), Miranda, ordered in a batch of lilies and they were WAY to dark, almost a light purple color. I found some silk dahlias at Micheal's that I LOVED the texture of so Miranda called her supplier asked about some hot pink dahlias and they are supposed to be in Friday for me to look at. I found this website online fiftyflowers.com that has some pretty good prices, or so I think, on bulk flowers and I may just order flowers and attempt making my own arrangements. They have all of the photos I posted EXCEPT the Avonlea I originally wanted. I think the Red Asiatic is very intriguing. The only thing about ordering online is you never know what color you are actually going to get compared to the pictures. I hate to spend hundreds on ordering these flowers to test them out. I spoke with customer service and they said they cannot do smaller batches for samples. The Lisianthus is pretty also and for some reason grabs my attention. I would LOVE to get some more flower ideas from you girls on a fuschia or deep pink flower. Ideally I don't want any lime green or bright yellow centers, or any other color really. my wedding is going to be black and white with the bright fuschia/dark pink flowers for that "popping" accent color.

Centerpiece
Ok so this is my first attempt at a centerpiece and is far from perfected (hence the green stem), but I think you can grasp the general concept. Let me know what you think and what could help this piece out. I layed down some black cardstock to try and imitate the black table linens we will be using. The wedding is black and white with color coming from our flowers. I want bright pink flowers (yes I know these aren't bright but I saw them at Michaels and thought they were pretty). I'm still discussing bright pink flowers with my florist. I started out wanting lilies but I'm liking dahlia's more and more.
