Where to buy good cake tins for wedding cake

Hi, I hope someone can help. I am making the fruit cakes for a wedding next April (not icing them - leaving that to a professional!). They will be round, probably 14, 12 and 10 or 12, 10 and 8 (any views?). But they need to be 4" deep.

I have been searching on various sites but it's difficult to get 4" deep ones. I've seen Invicta tins recommended but they are only 3" deep. Any suggestions and advice would be really appreciated.

I was planning on making the cakes in January leaving a three - four month 'maturing' time. Oh and I plan to use Delia's Christmas cake recipe.

Thanks in advance.

    It might be worth trying a local catering suppliers, they usually stock 'odd' sizes and the prices are generally cheaper than retail stores. Alternatively, local bakeries and cake decorating shops will often hire them out to you, and it's generally not expensive. That'd be a lot cheaper than buying them, as decent thick cake tins are so expensive!
