Cheap Fruit Wedding Centerpiece IdeasFruit wedding centerpiece ideas are becoming very popular, they look stunning and they are easy and cheap to create. You couldn't ask for more when it comes to designing your own wedding centerpiece! The simplest fruit display that is easy to transport is to fill a glass vase with fruit. If you have round tables you may want a cluster of different height vases, or have a round vase. If your tables are long then have the vases in singles and place them along the table. It is best to choose fruit that won't go mushy, citrus fruits excel at looking gorgeous throughout the reception; lemons, limes, oranges, satsumas - you get the idea!To add a touch of glamour to the above display you can tie a ribbon in your wedding color around the middle of the vase - use glue dots to keep the ribbon where you want it and then tie in a bow. If your reception is in the evening then you could jam the fruit into the vase, fill it with water and then place a floating candle on the top. It is a good idea to have the candle the same size as the top of the vase, otherwise they have a tendancy to float to one side. You could always have your fruit wedding centerpiece as the first example and then have glass votives around the table. 
Another way to create a stunning fruit centerpiece is to have the fruit piled high in the middle of the table. It is a good idea to have the display built on a tray or large plate as you can then transport the centerpiece to your venue already to go. To create a pyramid of fruit you will want a sturdy base, place your fruit in the shape that you want the base and when you are happy attach the fruit together using either toothpicks or wire. Next build the next layer and then attach it to the bottom layer in the same way. Keep going until you have created the look that you want. It is a nice idea to add the leaves of the fruit to the display and add flowers as well if your budget allows it.To make the fruit look extra special you can add a sparkle by painting the fruit in egg white and then dipping the fruit in sugar, this looks even more stunning in the evening if there is candle light to add to the sparkle. Also think about adding flowers to the vases or displays to make an extra colorful centerpiece. Fruit wedding centerpieces can also be created on cake stands, retro glass bowls from consignment shops, baskets and even in gift boxes. Make sure you have a play with your designs before you need to create the real thing. The beauty of having a fruit display is to that you can make it a couple of days before your wedding if you are using citrus fruits then keep them in a cold place if possible.
