1. Check on a web site called orientaltrading.com They have lots of stuff and they can ship it right if you need it. Other places, check DavidBridal.com they have really good stuff too. Walmart also has really nice affordable decorations.
2. Walmart is the answer!!!!! Go to the candle isle, find silver candle plates and white or red candles. Then head for the fabric dept and get black ribbon to tie around the candles. Finally, go to a local craft store and get bags of rose petals to strew across the tables. Another thing you can do, is get small fish glass fish bowls, put red and black rocks in the bottom, fill 3/4 full with water and put tea lights in them. (they will float)
3. Oh - same colors as me. I made my decorations - I used candles,fishbowls, lace,little roses, taffeta and ribbon. Took the fish bowl, filled it with the red taffeta, glued the candle on th top - glued ribbons and the flowers around it...really looked cool. People thought I bought them. I got everything from the local craft store, and cheap too. I used extra taffeta to make bows for the front of the tables, and swags and used doilies to wrap up hershey kisses and tied with a ribbon. I also used plastic champagen glasses and made a tower on each table, with the kisses around them and a tag tied to them that said "here are some kisses from the new Mr & Mrs. "
4. Go to your local party store/Party City. They have SO many different things. Also, google red/silver/black wedding decor. You can get a lot of ideas from there! http://www.luckystarcreations.co.uk/favours-tableplans/images/black-white-silver-favours_1.jpg http://www.birthdaypartyheliumballoondelivery.co.uk/townhouse/DSCN6681.jpg
5. This is labor intensive, but beautiful. Buy some small 4" terracotta flower pots and spray paint metallic silver. Put a 12 - 14" stick in each one and ground with some cement. On top of stick, place a 2 - 3" styrofoam ball so that you have made a "topiary" tree. Dip strawberries in white chocolate and then drizzle with dark chocolate stripes. Once the strawberries have set, use toothpicks to cover your foam balls. Your centerpieces serve as decoration as well an addition to your menu.
6. craft stores actually have a lot of stuff that can be used to decorate... stores like Michaels, A.C. Moore, etc.
