Flowers And Gift Baskets

I am planning a large, informal activity for our church. The theme is "Autumn Nights". Just to give you an idea of the direction I’m going…instead of a standard refreshment table we’re doing a Caramel Apple bar, with quartered apples, a couple fondue fountains with caramel and chocolate, and some crushed nuts, butterfinger, etc…for people to dip their apples in. I am definitely going to use autumn leaves to decorate, and a full moon, but I don’t know what to use on the tables. There will be 8 – 10 small round tables and I would like to make centerpieces that are low but I don’t know where to go to get inspiration for which flowers to use or anything. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am having a very small reception at my mother’s house during the middle of July. She said that we could plant some bulbs and have the flowers in bloom around that time. My wedding colors are pink and chocolate with a little bit of white, so those colors would be wonderful as I would really like to skip the florist. Thank you!

My theme is Chocolate, my colors so far are a dark espresso brown, Ivory, and Tan. Like the colors of chocolate. I’m having a hard time finding flowers to go with my theme. I was hoping to find a dark brown accent flower, with maybe some ivory calililys, or even hydrangia. Since I’m having such a hard time, I’ve been thiking of adding a little bit of color to the whole scheme, but that would totally defeat the whole chocolate idea, unless I did like a minty green or a sage. I’m completely stuck. Any ideas?
