I made my cardbox...pics attached, and bridesmaid dress too

I spent 4 nights making my cardbox because I couldn't find one I liked. I also attached a picture of my bridesmaid dresses and the color flowers we are using. My invitations have filigree on them and are black white and pink

Here is where need some advice:

I am doing centerpieces with flowers in tall tube vases, submerged in water and votive candles floating on top. There will be three on each table. I wanted some element of black in the centerpieces, but don't want them to be morbid. The flowers inside each tube will be hot pink, but where can I but black, or maybe incorporate the filigree?

Help!

Sorry the pic quality is poor...it's from my cell phone.

OOH...that's a good idea, Barb! like at the bottom of the water? I need to ask them if they can do it...if not, I will buy them myself and make them add it! I am using Flower's By Brian.

theres this stuff u can buy..i think it comes in powder form(not sure) and when u put a scoop of it in water it crystalizes. looks like rock candy..and u only need like a tinyyyy scoop of it.

or u can get black crystal looking rocks and add an LED light underneath it to make it glow
