CP's= on my own or rent

I havent really researched florists yet but heres what I want to do

we have a Gold/ White theme...I would like to use Crest hollows white table cloths but put a shimmery gold overlay on top to fancy it up

So then, all i want is a large candelabra ...no flowers cause most of FH's fam is allergic and will be miserable all night

Should I find Candleabras in a stor or online and then give em away at the end of the night (approx $30-50 each) or rent them from a florist

Do you think its too plain just to have candles on the table and no flowers CP's?

what about instead of flowers use fake rose petals? ooh I got another idea instead of the Candleabras use glass candle holders or what about the long tea light 'lamps'

Re: CP's= on my own or rent

that is really what i want to so with my tables - i am renting table cloths- that are shimmery blue and renting silver candlelbras

as for candelabras- i think it is ok to rent because mattering on height they can get expensive
39' were $55 from a rental company on the Knot plus candles
48' from Burtons includes candles

be careful renting from florists because most of theirs are meant from flowers- want five arm candelabra

If you want to buy here is a site that sells a bunch in bulk

Regarding flower allergies....my moh got married seven years ago and her husband was allergic. She had silk flowers instead and I still have her beautiful centerpiece in my home. It was a wonderful keepsake.

Re: CP's= on my own or rent

Well Ive heard quotes that to rent candleabras are about 75 a piece

If i search and buy them in Target or Homegoods or TJ Maxx, it should only be about 20-30 a piece and we can keep them
