This is an idea I did last year for Country Living.
Its a fun and easy way to decorate with flowers.
Just hang a wire over the table and tie ribbons of different lengths.
Tie a paperclip to the end of the ribbons and fasten the flowers to them.
The flowers will not last for hours and hours, but if you place a small amount of wet cotton on the ends of the flowers and secure with some flower tape, they will last for a few hours.

Have a fab weekend all.
LOVE ♥♥♥ IT !

This is so beautiful and thank you for the idea about the cotton balls with water and floral tape. I decorated for a wedding in June (my first one) and I had cut roses and tied them to chairs and stairway bannisters with tulle, but didn't think about how long they would last. Luckily they lasted long enough but at the end when I was cleaning up they looked pretty sad.
