Wedding centerpieces/orchids - help!!!?!?

I am getting married in August and the reception is in an outdoor/indoor high peak tent. Since the ceilings are very high I bought eiffel tower vases, which are the tall skinny vases. I think they%26#039;re 16%26quot;. Me and my fiance met b/c of a trip to jamaica that we both happened to go on and we really want to incorporate jamaica into the wedding in an elegant way. I have quite a few ideas so far but I%26#039;m stuck w/ the centerpieces. I%26#039;ve seen alot of great ideas and tips on here but nonetheless - I want to use pretty much all white flowers, orchids, hibiscus, hydrangea..i saw this pic on google

Wedding centerpieces/orchids - help!!!?!?
They look like a mixture of orchids to me...but I am not positive.


You can try this website for fake flowers. They also sell the eiffel tower vases...so they may be able to offer you some ideas/accessories for your centerpieces.

Reply:Hard to tell exactly, maybe orchids, some willow...hmmmm Here%26#039;s an arrangement in the small mouth Eiffel tower vase. Change the flowers to Orchids and some Stockflower and I think it would be very pretty. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2355/2228...

Reply:The picture is just so hard to tell. It%26#039;s really small. I%26#039;m using orchids also. You may want to consider some other flowers as well to mix in. Gladiolus for instance are striking, tall %26amp; available in white:

Also, definitely consider using stock as a filler because they are cheaper %26amp; really gorgeous:

You probably don%26#039;t want everything to be tall though. You need some shorter flowers that will add depth to it as well, which is easy. I really like spider mums in white. The following pic is not white but they%26#039;re great for filler:

EDIT: I almost forgot to mention Dahlias. I%26#039;m using those also to contrast with the height of my centerpieces and the orchid sprays:
