No, we’re not talking about Fruit patterned tablecloths or watermelon shaped pinatas. Hold tight for one moment as you envision a full on wedding tablescape using lemons, peaches, mangoes, and pears for the accents. Still sound strange? Keep reading and let us help you change your mind.

Color

Fruit can be just as colorful, if not more so than many flowers. Dare we to point out it will also keep color longer? Instead of focusing on floral centerpieces for each table, try adding a simple piece of fruit to each plate. Along with glassware, plates, and anything else may be on the table you’ll have a full colorful place setting. Guests can also eat the fruit or take it home. Add a cute take home favor and you’ll have little to no clean up of centerpieces afterward.

Cost

Depending on your geographical location, the season, and your access to local markets, the price range and type of fruit you can easily acquire is going to vary. If, like many people, you’re going to get married in summer find a local vendor and arrange a crate or two (or three) to be picked up a day before the wedding. Since you’ll be purchasing directly from the source, the fruit is guaranteed to be much fresher and should cost less.

As long as you don’t live in a major city, farmers and fruit sellers often have stands conveniently set up along the side of the road. Stop by and see if they’re willing to work with you.

Creativity

Fruit as the main accent isn’t for everyone. However, finding as many ideas as possible and drawing inspiration from them is a great starting point when creating the wedding of your dreams. Instead of using the actual fruit, maybe you want to use the color as your main shade. Explore your options and have fun! LinenTablecloth offers free Sample Charts in Polyester, Satin, and Organza for customers that want to see the colors in person but are too far from our showrooms to visit.
