Well center pieces don't have to be flowers you could use red candles and get fake pearls set them on the candle and use a hair dryer to heat it up a little and set the pearls into the candle.
Another idea is to use small fish bowls put red and white stones in them with a few feeder goldfish and let the guests take them home.
If you don't want the expense of real flowers you could buy fake and get almost any kind in any color.
Since it's on Valentines Day you could get heart shaped boxes glue ribbon and tiny flowers on them and fill them with dinner mints.
The last idea I can come up with right now is to take decorating wire shape them like hearts and wrap flowers on them with floral tape you can use real ofr fake if you choose fake you can do them now and that will be one less thing when it gets close to the big day.

There is a flower called the bleeding heart. They are tiny one inch heart shaped red flowers with a tiny white tear drop coming off the bottom of them. Very pretty. How appropriate for Valentines.

you have a few options.
- have a red overlay over a white tablecloth
- going with flowers - roses and or carnations arranged in a box look nice.
- helium balloons of differing lengths and in the colours you want
- a couple of goldfish (these can come in white!) in a small bowl (red gravel?!)
- candles (either red or white) in a nice holder (biggish ones similar to ones used in church) with a floral wreath around the bottom
- chocolate shaped hearts for guests
- rose petals scattered on the table
- red glitter hearts/angles/stars etc scattered on the table
hope this helps!

Red roses and white calla lilies are a beautiful combination. I just didn't want roses at my wedding (my previous last name was Rose). I had tall 5" round vases with white tulips, you could use red, or a combo of both. The tulips were wound inside the vase with some of those sticks that florists use. It was really elegant.

I love the look of red&white roses, but I've heard the price goes sky high on them around Valentines.

There is a flower (in the Lilly family I think) that at the end of the pistol is a heart. If you can afford it perhaps a white one surrounded by red carnations would look classy.

Clear glass bowls filled half way with water. Float red and white flowers and candles in them.
