Michelle,being that they are like fish bowl they are probably short, are you using real flowers or silk. If they are silk you could cut the stems down to a size that keeps them in porpotion to the bowl, use a little floral clay to put your stems in(to help them stand up) and put a little greenery in with it, ivy, asparagus fern, air fern,etc. Another thing, if there real flowers ,you could just put so much water in them and float the flower heads on top, leaving some space between the top of the water and your candle bottom, and you could put greenery around the bowl. Hope this helps. Sandy
