Lightbulb Inspiration for Award Ceremony

Right guys. I have been given one of the boards I made for The Equine Event to re-hash for the annual college award ceremony.

My tutor said "Think Art Gallery; Really off the wall!"

The purple Abaca is staying, but the (once) lime green cornus is going. I have white oriental lilies, don't know how many, and that's about it!

Any ideas?

I wondered about something similar to Moniek Vanden Berghe's pillar decoration in Flowers In Love II, it's a square covered flat with ivy leaves and then a spray hanging down.

Just one idea though, I'm really stumped.

Thanks guys!

That's the sort of thing! Can be anything. Doesn't have to fill the frame.

Any ideas?

Yes Tink, it's going in a Marquee. Unfortunately the Lilies are for keeps. There are four boards, and the lilies are the continuity as all boards will incorporate them, but look completely different...in theory!

How long have they got to last for? Could you take the petals off the lilies and do something with them on their own rather than using whole stems? Could create something much more delicate and elegant if you were able to do this.
