Wedding flowers?
Costco sells flowers at a good price, from what I've heard. You can even order wedding bouquets from there, if you are not experienced making them yourself.





You may also want to see if there is a flower market in your area -- one that supplies flowers at wholesale prices to local florists. They usually have great prices for regular people, too. (I am getting my flowers from the San Francisco Flower Mart, and a friend of mine is making the bouquets.)





As far as pink and black flowers: I don't know any that are pink with black tips, but anemones can be pink with blackish centers. Here are some pictures:

I would be cautious about buying older flowers -- you want to make sure you have ones that will look fresh on the wedding day, especially since the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres will need to be out of water for hours. You would be better off choosing relatively inexpensive flowers and keeping the bridesmaid bouquets small. I have even heard of wedding where the bridesmaids carried a single flower instead of a bouquet. You might also want to consider keeping the centerpiece arrangements to a minimum and reusing the ceremony flowers as reception decorations. Good luck!
Reply:If you are not tied to a specific flower, you can approach a local florist and ask for any flowers they have in the store that are more than a day or two old. Otherwise, places like Costco and Sam's club sell beautiful flowers in bulk at great prices.
