 A Love Welcome (Decoration for a romantic night)
Prepare:
- A large glass round bowl
- A couple of glass candle floaters
- Tealight candles
- A few opened roses (e.g. super roses)
- Water
Try:
- Roses are nipped to their buds and allow to float on the
water.
- Place the tealight candles inside the floaters.
- Gather the roses afloat on water.
- Play around with the floaters and candles, for example,
you might not require a glass candle floater if you are
using realistic pansy flower candle.
- Experiment with colour assortments or even a single colour,
for example, deep passion red will have a contrasting match
towards contemporary wooden banquet hall.
- To have an unexpectedly effect, try using rose buds which
symbolise love growth and renewable.
- Simply scatter the excess rose petals as romantic traces
on the dining table with an inviting love message.
- Placement is recommended as a table centrepiece for an
anticipated lover's romantic dinner.
- The overalls will symbolised love with its transparency.
