Silver Swans, Candles, and Flowers

Not completely positive that this particular ribbed glass bowl with its metal flower frog goes with the swans, but it works. It could function as either a beautiful or interesting centerpiece. Put white candles on the swan’s heads as if they were each a Swedish Lucia and fill the bowl with trimmed white gladiolus and you can politely ignore everything about the person sitting across from you. Or find stubby candles and do something with angled freesias to make people say “lovely.” Or,  if the table is getting crowded, any kind of candle, ditch the frog, and fill the bowl with olives or cashews.

We’re not Martha here (we’d be making more money if we were), but we do try. Swan centerpiece footprint is 11 x 11 inches.
