Rose-Wreathed Pillar Candle
protect your candles from
outdoor breezes.
- The secret to suspending the wreath of roses on the candle is to use a floral-foam wreath form as the base for the floral arrangement.
- Soak the wreath in water; then insert short-stemmed roses, beginning with larger blossoms and filling in the bare spots with rosebuds until the top and outer edges are covered.
- Secure the wreath to the candle with long pearl-head pins. You will need to use a lot of pins around the top and bottom because the wreath will be quite heavy.
- Fill in around the candle with more rosebuds if needed.
Wouldn't it be possible to wrap a ribbon around the wreath and then sinch it tightly and tie an additional bow which would be incorperated into the wreath as a decorative element and a support for the wreath?
