I want to do flowers at the EParty and I was thinking of doing the tall vases with submerged orchids and a floating candle on top....Where do i get the vases? and the flowers? will they stay submerged ? what kind of candles? I am so lost please help

I know vases you can get anywhere... dollar store, Michaels, etc.  I also know they sell "sets" which contain a tall vase, some rocks and floating candles... other than that, I'm of no help.... but I'm sure you can google it or one of the other girls will know!  Good luck!

You can check out Field of Flowers for the orchids and talk to someone there about submerging them. The floating candles can be bought pretty much anywhere.

For the vases... around xmas time bed bath and beyond had a set of 3 different sizes for $20 each. You could always check there to see if they still have them.

Jen do you live in Miami???  The place that I have found the cheapest vases and candles at it's in wholesaler type store near the airport. There are two stores in the same strip. Check them both out but I think the one further back in the building has the vases, if I remember correctly.

There are others in that same street (72nd) that have party stuff for cheap. :-)

For flowers I always use Berkeley Supply, but I think they might be a little pricey. You can always check out Costco or Sams if you have one near you. I think they sell bulk flowers.

And to submerge. You can submerge almost any flower, but usually orchids work best.

Yes, Chan's is GREAT... and so is L.O's... it's just off of 72nd.

FYI, Use a bit of aquarium glue of the bottom to keep the stems from floating up! A little tip a read a while back.
