Please Help!

posted 3 months ago in Beehive

Ok this is my very first time doing this but I need help. My fiance is
on this website everyday so I thought I would give it a try. We have
been trying long and hard to find these centerpieces we have seen in a
picture with no luck. So I turn to all of around the states to help
make my Fiance's day very special. Try this link to my gallery to see pictures of it.

If anyone knows where to get these, please help. It would make her day...and in turn mine.

Thanks...Mr. Paolo

the best thing you can do is ask the florist to find candelabras.  or search for some online, at rental companies and stuff.  but they can be expensive to buy.  a place like www.ltdcommodities.com might have something similar.  but items have to be shipped to a business in order to purchase, as they sell a lot of things at bulk discounts.

I have no idea where to get them. You need to ask your florist.  All i know is their really expensive. If you don't have a florist, just start making calls and ask them.

It looks to me like they are rose balls (which are super expensive due to the fact they could have up to 200 roses) and they rented candleabras.  Any florist could probably do this for you but look for ones with no overhead so they don't try to make a huge profit on you.  That was the only way I was able to get high centerpieces or it would have broke the budget.

I agree a florist is the best place to start ...

You could also try a hardware store for something similar, and silk flowers (or a less expensive but similar flower) to recreate the look. 

Good luck!  They're lovely!

I don't thing I was clear enough. We have the florist already. We are just looking for those particular candleabras. Nobody seems to carry them. If anyone knows where to get them please let me know. 

Thanks

Have you tried calling those movie rental companies or party rental companies?  I know they sometimes have candleabras.

This is a link to a wholesaler-- your florist may be able to purchase them for you:

I have also seen something similar at Moskatels in downtown LA, and for rent in several of the shops around the flower district in LA (they are not cheap).  Sorry if that doesn't help you where you are-- maybe there is a flower district equivalent in the Bay Area.

Thanks everyone for what you have come up with so far, but have any of you seen a stand similar to the photo in an iron finish?  We believe that is what the stand is and are looking for something similar.  Or does anyone know where she found these photos?

Try paging BeltranBride on the Making It Personal board on theknot.com forums. She did something very similar for her centerpieces. You can see her bio here: http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=ThePlannerisWed

I also found these, but they're very expensive: http://www.candelabras.com/candelabras/antique/junocandelabra.cfm
