Cover a party table with a linen tablecloth to set the stage for décor. Choose a light-colored cloth, such as white, if you plan on using dark silk petals, so the floral pieces are noticeable.
Scatter silk rose petals down the center of the table, covering the entire length. Use deep red or blush pink petals to create a soft, romantic look. Create a spring- or summer-inspired table with lemon yellow or lavender-hued petals.
Place white candles in small clear glass votive holders. Make sure you have enough to cover the length of the table.
Nestle the candle holders into the silk petals. Create a straight line down the center of the table or arrange them in a zig-zag fashion as a creative touch. Be sure the candle holders are higher that the silk petals to avoid creating a fire hazard.
