  General Decorations
  
• Lots of candles.
• Daisy Garlands along with Baskets and containers full of daisies.
  
  For The Tables
  
• Small daisy arrangements. Daisy flower heads sprinkled on the tables. You can get some variations at Oriental Trading. Just type in the keyword daisy into their search box. They have lots of other daisy items as well. Glass bowl centerpieces. For a large arrangement, use a large clear glass bowl with floating candles and add daisy flower heads into the water for a centerpiece. For a small arrangement, use small clear glass bowls with one floating candle in each surrounded by daisy heads.
  
  Games and Ice-breakers:
  
• He Loves Me Icebreaker - This doesn't have any "Loves Me Nots". Give out a real daisy (or similar flower) to one of the ladies in your group. Have her tell a way God loves them. They can give personal examples, talk about attributes of God, or quote a bible verse describing a way He loves them. Have them try to choose something that means something to them in a personal way.
  
  Examples: He Loves Me...because He gives me strength every day. He Loves Me...because He kept me from getting into an accident recently.
  
  The first lady then passes the flower on to the next lady beside her and it continues until the flower has no petals. If you want it to continue throughout the entire group, just keep handing out new flowers when the petals are all gone off of one.
