Trial - Calla lily pond centerpiece

Using a short round bowl, I placed two calla lilies inside along with curly willow branches around the base. Filled up the bowl just over the calla lilies with water and placed 3 floating candles inside. I loved how this turned out. It reminds me of a pond.

Trial - Purple wedding centerpiece
