Instead of spending a fortune decorating your wedding reception with sprays of flowers or expensive centerpieces decorate with fruit baskets. You can customize the fruit baskets with ribbons in the color of the wedding to tie them into the other wedding reception decorations. Since there is such a variety of fruit baskets, it doesn’t matter when the reception is held, there are fruits in season throughout the year. Not only does the citrus fruit basket serve as a beautiful wedding decoration, it also serves as a snack for the guests. Fruit baskets are great for any group event or large party.
Another reason why fruit baskets are the perfect wedding reception decorations is that fruit baskets can hold up well in any weather. If you are having an outdoor spring or summer wedding flowers can wilt from the heat or die in the cold very quickly, leaving your reception looking awful. Tasteful fruit baskets with pretty ribbons will look bright and cheerful no matter what the weather is like, because the peel on the citrus fruit protects the fruit and keeps it looking fresh. The vivid colors of the seasonal fruit are beautiful decorations for weddings with natural or earthy themes, and look wonderful at beach or garden theme weddings as well. Bright oranges, Ruby red grapefruits, and color saturated tangerines all can create a stunning colorscape for your reception.
If you’re worried that simple citrus fruit won’t fit into the fancy theme that you want for the reception you can easily add custom elements to up the wow factor of the baskets. One way to make the fruit basket more elegant is to include gourmet chocolates with foil wrappers that fit the color scheme of the reception. You can make the citrus fruit more artistic by creating fruit gift towers presented in boxes tied with ribbon in the wedding colors. When the reception is over you can give the gift baskets away as wedding favors. If cost is a concern, set up a large fruit basket at the exit and let people know to take a piece of fruit as a wedding favor. One idea is to have a stamp made with the bride and grooms name and each piece of fruit can be personalized. Fruit baskets are a fun, pretty and economical way to decorate your wedding reception.
