Lilly Pulitzer Weddings... The Water Lilly Napkin Unfolds

When Briana Hill stopped by to drop off the rentals for the event, she had a great idea for the napkin fold.

The Water Lilly Of course ....I thought that's very old school.... But then so is Lilly!

Here's how to do it:

1. Fold corners of napkin into center and press flat.
2. Repeat.
3. Holding center points together, turn napkin over.
4. Fold four corners into center again, but do not press.
5. Holding the center firmly, partly pull out the previous folds from under each corner and gently pull upwards to make petals.
6. Pull out corners from underneath petals to form leaves.
