Tall vases/candles for centerpieces?

I want to do 3 staggered height vase centerpieces, with a colorful submerged flower and floating candle on top. Kind of like the below picture. Has anyone done this? If so, can you FM vendor suggestions and quotes? I am looking to keep the cost down on flowers so I am considering these or candelabras.
Thanks so much! :)

I think its romantic and pretty and its nice because you can do any color flower to go with your theme.

I think these were just as expensive as regular flowers. I think I saw some quotes for $130-150. They are super easy to make. I saw a tutorial online somewhere if you have someone that can ,ake them & set them up for you.

Check out amazon.com - When I was considering this option I remember seeing them on there and they were reasonable!

Re: Tall vases/candles for centerpieces?

Check out Mike from Flower Barn or Jen from Verbena. Both are great and have great prices - I am booked with Verbena. A piece like this was quoted to be around $75-85 per table!

Re: Tall vases/candles for centerpieces?

they can be just as pricey due to the vases,if you can buy the vases yourself and have your florist use them it would cut the cost ALOT...

dollartree store sells alot of vases in bulk 1$ each. when i was considering doing this i almost got my vases from them.

also depends on what flowers you want in the vase
