th guests will

get a bang out of this

centerpiece inspired by

fireworks bursts. Fill a

low vase or bowl with

floral foam and add

water. Insert carnations

to form a dome, then

pop in the sparklers.

When it's time for

fireworks, adults

can grab a sparkler and

head outside to light up

the night. (Just keep

those sparklers unlit in

the bouquet, please!)
