It&#39;s great idea the centerpiece with fruit. The color is really beautiful than flowers.

But instead of having a buffet line, we&#39;re making trays of the fruit &amp; cheese, maybe putting a big candle in the middle, and using those as our centerpieces. Then people won&#39;t have to wait in long lines, and we don&#39;t have to worry about fancy centerpieces. It&#39;s very utilitarian- I like it.janshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02346474761634640812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458108451940824937.post-31247178417671099302008-11-19T11:39:00.000-05:002008-11-19T11:39:00.000-05:00Although our centerpieces weren't anything fancy (candy in a martini glass on a mirror) they were our solution to a non-flower, non-candle centerpiece.

We want to make our wedding as sustainable and inexpensive as we can, but I confess that the main reason for the edible centerpieces is that I just don't like flowers.Laurennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458108451940824937.post-75705059652050331382008-11-18T18:36:00.000-05:002008-11-18T18:36:00.000-05:00The whole concept of centerpieces was unknown to me until I started looking at American Wedding websites. I have been wondering what the exact purpose of these centerpieces is. Decoration probably, but when I go out to dinner, I never expect my table to be decorated with more than a nice tablecloth, napkins, cutlery, salt &amp; pepper, perhaps some oil and vinegar. <BR/>Yeah, the table will look empty when nobody is sitting down, but that is hardly the point. A table setting is not meant to look superb and impressive without guests, from my point of view. It&#39;s just waiting for the guests to fill it with half full wineglasses and plates of food.<BR/><BR/>An occasional small flower arrangement is not bad (as long as it is not to fragrant, because that hurts the food- and wine experience), but it&#39;s the food and the people that count. I think for me a overwrought (flower)arrangement in the middle of the table indicates that you expect that one of these two (food or people) will not be good enough, so that the guests will need something to distract them from it.Martehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15801743944711363572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458108451940824937.post-51932045944929008212008-11-18T15:28:00.000-05:002008-11-18T15:28:00.000-05:00Oh, those are awesome. I think edible or even just using fruits/foods (lemons in a clear tall vase) etc... really brighten up a table and give you something slightly diff than the normal flowers!AmyJeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10648725099262152263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458108451940824937.post-56243436034841220482008-11-18T15:23:00.000-05:002008-11-18T15:23:00.000-05:00These are fab, and so yummy looking!<BR/><BR/>Ours weren't edible, but they were reused and reusable-- I wrote a bit about them <A HREF="http://www.promtoaltar.net/2008/10/the-little-things-part-3-insid.html" REL="nofollow">here on my blog.</A><BR/>Yours is one of the few blogs I can stomach post-wedding, thank you!Nicolehttp://promtoaltar.net/blognoreply@blogger.com
