Arum Lily Candle Stand

Pass this idea on to your decor designer, or have fun creating this yourself. All you need is an A2 size tracing paper, sea sand and a candle. Take the tracing paper and roll it into a cone shape and sticky tape the bottom closed. Cut the top part of the paper to look symmetrical on both sides and the centre will form a sharp point to the top. Place the cone into a cylindrical or square stand.

Fill the bottom of the cone with the sea sand and stick the candle into the sand. Drape flowers or leaves around the bottom and place it at the centre of the table or where you want to add a bit of warm romantic light at the reception area.
