To bring a touch of elegance to our table, we'll craft simple yet stunning crepe paper water lilies. By following an easy tutorial, you can create these delicate blooms in white or pink hues, embellished with yellow tea lights as their radiant centers. For younger guests, battery-powered candles can be used as a safer alternative. These water lilies will not only add a whimsical touch to the decor but also serve as a fun activity for the kids.
