Have you tried swimming pool supply stores? I was able to purchase floating water lilies that would hold a votive candle and glass for my pool. The lilies were made of hard plastic. Another trick I have done that worked is to coat the underside of a silk leaf with candle wax. You just light the candle and let it drip on to the bottom side of the leaf. Once the wax cools it will form a coating on the silk leaf. It acts to keep the water out and will cause the leaf to float. Plain paraffin will also work.
I found a few sources online.

I had a baby shower for all 4 of my children. Like you, I no longer had the previous baby's items when I had the next one. (My 1st 3 children are 5yrs apart, the 3rd one was a girl and then my last child is 7 yrs younger than my daughter.) If people want to give you a shower then let them. The rule is that you don't give yourself a shower. But...It makes less things for you to have to buy. I see nothing wrong with having a shower for all of your children. Is the 1st one the only one who is suppose to get this special treatment? I don't think so. Back in the day when people had a child 10 months to a year apart, you didn't need to have another shower because you still had the baby stuff and most baby items were unisex-white dressing gowns and diapers-but nowadays most people wait a couple of years or more between children, so you end up needing to replace everything from the 1st or subsequent go round. It is not written in stone to have only 1 baby shower. The people who say that you shouldn't have another are either stingy, mean-hearted or just didn't get nice shower gifts themselves. ha ha ha. That is what you have to say to the negative people. Laugh it off and enjoy your Shower or Showers.

Try a rental place for the glass bowls, and a reputable florist for the silk lillies. The water is easy. ;) Sounds beautiful.
Look in yellow pages for event planner, maybe, for any other questions that might pop up.
Good luck!
