Flowers….and Fruit!

We recently met with a bride who is going to use limes in her centerpieces, and I am so excited! For the last few years I have been hoping we would come across a bride who was willing to venture out and do something with fruits. One of Mary’s best friends grew up on an apple orchard and her wedding featured apple blossoms and apples, it was so romantic and pretty; we have just been waiting for a bride to give us the freedom to go ahead and use some fruit in a wedding again. She is going with a pink and lime green theme, and I just know it is going to be stunning. I was inspired and began hunting down some of the saved photos I have of designs featuring fruit….maybe this blog will help to convince other brides to consider using fruit.

This centerpiece would be perfect for a wedding at a winery or vineyard.  The hanging grapes are the perfect accent.

Picture this centerpiece for a fall wedding.  If you look closely you can see apples, pears, and bittersweet branches tucked in there.

This is a modern take on using apples as a 'theme' to the wedding. The green apples and roses look fabulous together, and the apples as placecards adds that extra little touch to the table.

I LOVE this idea.  The white pumpkins are gorgeous for fall weddings.  The textures and interest in this centerpiece are amazing, everytime I look at it I find something else to love.

Pears, light pink roses, and twigs....what a gorgeous combination!

Sliced limes and yellow tulips make for a beautiful spring centerpiece.  The fresh limes and bright yellow tulips really work well together for a clean modern look.

This centerpiece immediately makes me think of summer.  Guests would love sitting at tables featuring a centerpiece such as this, just imagine the conversation it would generate!
