I had silver floating candles that were shaped like flowers. I bought them at Michael's and they weren't too pricey. They looked romantic and sweet. I set the bowls on mirrors and sprinkled fake flowers petals around the centerpiece to tie it all together.
I got cheap glass vases at ACMoore on sale for $5 each then we decided we wanted really tall ones so we got semi cheap ones at Michaels with 40% off coupons... it was a lot of trips but we saved a ton of money!
Oh and you could use fairy berries in the bowl... I want to use these in my wedding somewhere too...

you could use food coloring to change the water or even colored rocks in the bottom?
The dollar store sells clear cylinder vases that is about 7" tall for ONLY $1 each!
I used cylinder vases from Dollar Tree to put the table numbers around. Then, we just added ribbon around each vase to add a bit of color to them. 
Then, we had our florist put together centerpieces containing one single rose. I believe they were about $30-35 each. We supplied the cracked ice for the vases and rented the chargers for $1 each from our venue. After our big day, we sold the vases and cracked ice afterwards to recoup some of the costs.
The dollar store sells pretty nice bowls/vases that you can use. They also have the stones that you can put in the bottom of each bowl. If you can't get your florist to give you a really good deal JUST ON flowers to float in the bowls that you create, you can always go to your local grocery store that has a flower section and ask them to order the flowers you want for you... only for the centerpieces. Also check Goodwill stores and Salvation Army stores - you would be amazed at the amount of glassware/vases/bowls etc that they have really really cheap.
These centerpieces (minus the flowers) cost about $5 ish each. We got mudpans from lowes and just added water, flowers, and candles... viola!

I am trying to cut cost on the centerpiece as the florist is charging minimum of 40.00 + container rental per piece. With 10+ tables, the cost will add up. Another florist who was going to charge me 65.00 per piece suggested to use floating flower in a bowl or something and get the container/beads myself to save some money.
Does anyone have good suggestions where to get cheap clear container?
My color theme is dark purple with lime green. Florist suggested a couple spider mums inside the bowl. Any bees have any other ideas on flower/things to use inside the bowl?
Thanks.
