Another florist Q

Is anyone providing the candles/holders for their centerpieces? I read online that the florist I visited yesterday will allow you to purchase them on your own and they will set it up and provide the orchid & petals (looking to do floating candle centerpieces). I priced it out and with shipping I can get 24 centerpieces (will prolly need 20 so a couple extra) for $319.05. That also includes 144 votives and holders to scatter around the centerpiece. I curious as to how much this could save me for my centerpieces. (I know it's prolly easier just to go down there to get my answer but I don't have time until next week and I feel like that's so far away!)
