A Fruitful Wedding
For a fun colorful wedding theme, try incorporating fruit into all your wedding accessories. Not only does it make for a fresh and tasty edible treat it also makes for a stunningly simple visual treat that can add to many aspects of your wedding decor.
Color choices such as citrus, lime, cherry, watermelon red, mandarin and pumpkin orange are made that much more impactful when complemented with the fruit from which they are based.
Centerpieces created from fruits such as apples, pears, lemons, limes and oranges can be used to fill glass centerpiece containers alongside flowers or candles. For a fall themed wedding in season apples or plentiful pumpkins can add both color and seasonal additions, as can lemons and limes for a spring or summer wedding.
Smaller berries, cherries or grapes can also be added to floral arrangements and as cake decorations hinting not only at the color theme of the day, but also of the flavors to be found hidden within the cake.
If bucking tradition and going with wedding pies in lieu of wedding cake, your fruit theme can also come into play with such tasty delights as strawberry, cherry, blueberry, lemon, and even the traditional apple. Fruits can also be incorporated into your dinner menu, grilled or as fresh garnish, and worked into your beverage menu with a signature fruity cocktail.
Fruits can also be incorporated into your wedding favors. Whether it is fresh organic in-season fruit as part of an environmentally conscious wedding, small replicas of fruits made out of almond flavored marzipan, fruit shaped chocolate filled with an assortment of fruit flavors, a fruit flavored candy buffet, or miniature jars of homemade fruit preserves.
As a color inspiration you can deck out your wedding stationery and your bridal party in your fruitful theme by stamping the image upon all of your stationery from invitations to escort cards, and by choosing dresses or accessories based upon your fruit of choice.
With literally dozens of fruits and fruit inspired ideas just ready for the picking, having a fruit themed wedding is a sweet and fruit flavorful way to say "I Do".
