Now this is what you do to make the centerpiece:

Take the silk flower and cut the stem at the blossom so you only have the blossom. Place the candles in the holders. Turn the wine glass over, place the blossom underneath the bowl. Put the votive holder on the wine glass base and when the time comes light the candle.

Make sure the base is flat and the votive holder sits comfortably on it.
