I don't have anything positive to add since we didn't do submerged CPs, but HOLY CR@P THAT'S EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!! I'm in awe!
I seriously thought something like that would cost *maybe* $20 - $35 each. Wow. I would totally DIY that if I were planning all over again.
My CPs were just roses in water pitchers I purchased from Target for $9 each and they only cost me $25 each which was like the price of a dozen roses and setup and stuff. I did not DIY them but went with a works-from-home florist. I just really only thought a reason you'd choose submerged flowers was because they were super inexpensive. Lesson learned!

Well Sandra, that's what I was thinking as an alternative to the large branch centerpieces with virtually no flowers for which I was quoted $200/cp. Turns out I wouldn't really be saving as I wanted more than 3 pieces in the arrangement. Moving on...

Re: Brides with submerged flower/candle CP's
When I took my MOH to our RH a few months before my wedding the wedding that was set up there had these CPs and we thought they were so incredibly beautiful. It was a daytime wedding, though, like mine. But they looked much more affordable than the others you were considering:

Re: Brides with submerged flower/candle CP's
Are the florist taking these CP back or are these cylinders your after the wedding?

Unfortunately, the cost of the glass is what makes the larger assemblies more expensive... I don't know WHY you can't 'borrow' the glass... I guess the labor of having to keep them clean and the risk that they won't use those particular shapes and sizes again? But what do I want with 50-60 glass cyliinders after my wedding???

I actually have some LIW hand me downs in the works if that's the style I decide to go with... but I'd have to see about the florist still being able to put the arrangements together for me cause I don't have that kind of time or patience.

Re: Brides with submerged flower/candle CP's
Theses were my CP's...LOTS of submerged orchids. $65, Designs by Rose. I purchased the vases from CB2 for $7.
We're doing something like this but with deep purple flowers instead of reds - 3 large cylinders of different heights with the tallest almost 2 feet (about 4' wide) and then 6 votives around the cylinders. We're paying $100 per centerpiece.
ETA: Sorry pic is so small - there's one in an album.
Wow I never realized the submerged CPs could be so expensive!

Re: Brides with submerged flower/candle CP's
I had submerged black magic roses in vases and it cost $45 per centerpiece. The vase on the table were tall and the florist put rose petals on the table around the centerpiece.
