1. Choosing the Perfect Vessel

Select a clear glass container or flower vase with a wide opening. A broader opening allows for safer burning and a more visually appealing arrangement. The transparency of the vessel enhances the beauty of the floating candles and flowers.

2. Preparing the Flowers

Real Flowers: Carefully trim the stems of real flowers to fit the height of your glass vessel. This ensures they stay submerged and provide a vibrant backdrop.

Dry Flowers: When using dry flowers, handle them gently due to their fragile nature. Use a glue gun to attach these flowers to the inside of the glass vessel. This keeps them in place and creates a stunning visual effect.

3. Adding Elegant Fillers

Enhance your centerpiece's aesthetic by adding fillers like crystals or pearls. These elements not only hide the glue but also add a touch of sparkle and elegance. Arrange them around the glued flower stems to enhance the visual appeal.

4. Assembling the Centerpiece

Water: Start by filling the glass vessel with water, ensuring it's deep enough to support the floating candles.

Sand Candles: Gently pour Candella's Sand Candles on the water's surface. The sand will float, creating a base for the wick and giving the appearance of floating candles.

5. Final Touches

Trim the provided wick from the Sand Candles, ensuring it is at least 1/4 inch from the surface of the sand. This ensures the candles burn evenly and safely.

Tips for Using Flowers

• Preventing Floating: For larger flowers, use extra glue at the bottom of the stem to prevent them from floating when water is added.
• Dry Flowers: Note that dry flowers may disintegrate in water. To avoid this, opt for sturdy leafy greens like eucalyptus, which will maintain the structure and add greenery to your arrangement.
