How to Make Lilies Float
Floating flowers in a bowl of water is one of the simplest table centerpieces to make. As long as the flowers are large enough, they will float on the surface of the water without any additional support. Once the flowers are in place they will float for hours or days, until they wilt. Floating lilies work well in large gatherings like weddings, since they are both beautiful and simple. You can also float lilies on the surface of a pool or pond. Does this Spark an idea?
