Limes, Candle, and Roses Centerpiece

Limes add color, scent, and stability to this centerpiece.

We've used roses, but almost any kind of flower could be used. Feathery leaves add texture and appeal.

Enjoy!

Limes, Candle, and Roses Centerpiece

• Bowl
• large pillar candle
• 6-9 limes
• a few stems of green leaves
• 8-12 flowers (daisies, roses, mums, etc.)

Place candle in the center of the bowl.

Set a row of limes around the candle. Fill base of bowl with an inch or two of water.

Cut rose stems to 4-6", making sure that each stem can reach the water. Arrange roses evenly around the bowl, with some resting on the edge of the bowl.

Note: Ripening fruit can cause fresh flowers to wilt so be sure to add flowers only an hour or so before your party.

Clip leaf stems into 5-8" lengths and insert evenly around the bowl.
