If you haven’t noticed…fruit is everywhere and we don’t mean just at the grocery store.  Fruit patterns are making appearances on clothing, accessories, linens and poolside decor and we love it!  Nothing says summertime like some fresh fruit!  So when the “fresh fruit rage” began to carry over into the wedding industry, we couldn’t wait to hop on board. 

Summertime, with its radiant sunshine and vibrant colors is the ideal time to incorporate fruit into your centerpieces.  With a multitude of fruits to choose from, the options are endless and whether you want to make it all about this trend or just sprinkle it in as an accent, we think it will make a showstopping decor moment.

If you are planning a summer wedding, and like the idea of fruit as decor, then take a look at this blog for some “fresh” ideas. Orange you glad you found this blog?  Sorry…we had to do it!

Tropical Splash

Imagine vibrant oranges, lemons and pineapples adding an exotic elegance to your decor while also offering a hint of joy and festivity.  Incorporating these tropical fruits with some bright hued florals can happen as table garland or in a stand out centerpiece.  Whether you keep the fruit in its original state or slice it in half, the tropical color palette offers a magical contrast against stunning greenery.

Berry Bonanza

Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries are a captivating visual delight, the contrasting colors make a beautiful decor element.  Embrace a jewel-toned centerpiece with lush berries acting as a lovely accent against lush greenery and dark red and purple blooms.

Citrus Symphony

For an incredibly refreshing vibe, incorporate lemons, limes, grapefruits and oranges into your centerpiece.  The contrast in color and size of the fruit can be stunning. Fill up tall glass vases with some of these fruity favorites for some height in your centerpiece moment. Couple it with gorgeous greenery and white florals for a centerpiece that is both elegant and vibrant.  A stark contrast between the white and citrus colors can be exquisite at a summer wedding. 

Peachy Perfection

The soft orange hue of a peach is such a lovely addition to a summer wedding palette. Whether you pair it with some bright, vibrant blooms or make it the center of attention in white florals and lush greenery; a peach is simply sublime.  A perfect peach will seal the deal on making your centerpiece a show stopper. If you are using wooden farm tables, the peach coupled with blush blooms will once again find its “dream” home against the natural grains of the wood.  Peachy perfection equals summer wedding perfection!

Gorgeous Grapes

Grapes alone are a beautiful draping accent but making them the focal point of your centerpiece can happen as well.  We cannot think of a more perfect centerpiece for a vineyard wedding.  A grape centerpiece (perhaps in a rustic wine crate) is the perfect embodiment of rustic elegance.

Fruit adds a visual punch that can totally transform a boring old table into wedding worthy and the best part is you don’t have to give up your floral dreams.  Fruit is a stunning accent to your favorite flowers and can just as easily work as the focal point with some spectacular blooms taking the back seat to enhance it.  Whatever you decide we think you will love jumping on the fruit trend and your guests will covet the unique but jaw dropping look it brings to your centerpieces.

Centerpieces truly have their own decor moment at your wedding, so we know how stressful it can be to get it just right! If you need some tips on perfecting your tablescape, take a look at our blog, Creating a Tablescape.
