With only a few flowers and some floating candles this centerpiece is simplicity itself.

Vary the type and color of the flowers for an arrangement that can be appropriate for any occasion.

Floating Flowers and Candles Centerpiece

• 3-5 open roses
• bowl container (or a platter or tray)
• floating candles (optional)

Set your bowl in place on the table. Fill it with water using a pitcher.

Next cut roses or other large open flowers so the stems are less than 1" long. Float the flowers on the water.

Place floating candles on the water and avoid wetting the candle wicks.

Tip: Flowers that are large and open (not buds) will work best in this arrangement. Don't crowd flowers and candles or petals could be singed.
