Method
About 55 min
Plan the candle gaps
Lay out the tapers first and build the florals in the negative space between them.
10 min
Create three clusters
Group flowers in odd-numbered pockets rather than one continuous runner.
20 min
Keep heights low
Nothing should rise above the candle flame line.
10 min
Bridge with greenery
Connect the clusters with loose eucalyptus so the table reads as one design.
15 min
Studio notes
Use battery tapers if the venue restricts open flame near foliage.
