Fruit and floral combinations work wonderful for party, or wedding table centerpieces. They make a nice contrast in texture and color.
Citrus is my favorite to work with in floral arrangements. I love their bright vivid colors, and they will hold up for several days without spoiling.
You don’t have to incorporate the fruit in the arrangement, you can hollow out an orange, or an apple and use them for as a vase for your floral centerpiece.
Arrange flowers and fruit in a basket to give your backyard party a casual feel.
You don’t have to pair a floral arrangement with your fruit, you can float some flowers in a clear vase as a focal center for a fresh fruit display. It makes a beautiful contrast, and dresses up your fruit. It can help make your fruit part of the decorations.
You can also arrange flowers in small glass vases right in your fruit display, or float flowers in shallow glass bowls to add color and texture to your food table.
My favorite thing about using fruit and floral arrangement centerpiece is the versatility. You can dress it up, or make it casual and fun.

Don’t forget the vegetables, they work lovely with flowers and fruit. Artichokes, pumpkins and gourds make for nice centerpieces too.
Angie~ They sure do! I thought about that very same thing after I hit the publish button on the post. I even have some images with vegetables in the centerpiece. I may have to dedicate a post just to them:-)
Yes, you should. I’d love to see them.
