Wedding Help

To me, there’s nothing like a spring or summer wedding on a beautiful warm day with new blooming flowers and romance in the air. In fact, many other couples agree and want to have their weddings in the spring and summer months. There’s just something about the newness of spring and the beauty of the wild life coming back after a cold winter that makes spring that much more enjoyable. As I’ve mentioned before, there are so many different ways for you to decorate your wedding in the spring or summer that can not only be decorations, but a celebration of the season. One of those decorations that I’ve mentioned is fruit. Now you’re thinking, Sarah you’re crazy, what can you do with fruit? The answer is plenty! Here are some great examples of wedding decorations with fruit.

Submerged Fruit in Water

What a fresh and trendy potential wedding centerpiece! Just grab a bunch of lemons and limes, cut them in half and submerge them in water in a big beautiful vase. The lemons and limes will keep their vibrant color and will make a beautiful centerpiece. Any size or shape of vase will work wonderfully.

Submerged Fruit with Candles or Flowers

Another twist that you can add to the option above is to place some floating candles in the water above the fruit to add a romantic glow to your wedding reception tables. If you are not able to use candles in your wedding reception, then consider filling the vases only half full of fruit and water, and then placing a small bouquet of colorful flowers in the vase as well. I’ve seen this done before and the effect is beautiful. If you are on a tight budget, then use a vase with a wider mouth, with just a few blooms on top of the water to float. This is a truly elegant and beautiful centerpiece.

Fruit Tower Centerpieces

Another fun idea for using fruit in your wedding decorations are some fruit towers. I’m not sure of the specific name of them, but they are basically a tower of stacked fruit which sits on a flower pot vase of some kind. From what I understand, they are pretty easy to make, and you can find lots of great instructions for making them on the internet.

These are a great way to add some color and height to your reception centerpieces as well. Fruit is a beautiful and inexpensive choice for wedding centerpieces. I’ve only mentioned using lemons and limes, but you can also use oranges, grapes and whole pineapples to help create the beautiful wedding look that you are going for. If you’ve used fruit before in decorating, or have seen a particular wedding centerpiece done with fruit that you loved, then please comment and let me know about it!
