Pro Tip
We used live plants for the picture: eucalyptus, fir branches, cedar, hydrangeas, hypericum. If these flowers are not available in your region, you can use plastic twigs instead.
If you decide to use real candles, make sure you keep the decorations far away from the flames to prevent fires. Do not leave a lighted enterpiece unattended.
