Silver Grape Vine
Wedding table decoration idea to supplement green apples in Silver Bowls?
I’m looking for a table decoration idea for our 9/6/08 wedding. We are on a pretty tight budget so we’re trying to avoid overpriced flower ensembles. My fiance has actually been quite helpful in planning and mentioned the idea of using green apples in a Silver Bowl, an idea he got from a fancy restaurant he used to work at in D.C. Anyways, our color are sage green and eggplant so i’d like to somehow supplement the green apple/silver bowl idea w/some sort of purple. Maybe candles? Grape vines? I’m not creative so any and all ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
I like the simple idea of just the apples in the bowl — it lets the shape and shine of the fruit work for you.
Adding candles to the table is a great idea, too — but I probably wouldn’t put them in the bowl — you’d struggle to keep the flame above the fruit and it would be difficult to arrange the apples, too.
Add purple and sage votive candles in simple clear holders, in groups of odd-numbers.
Consider lilac or lavendar sprigs in the Fruit Bowl — a touch of purple, a nice scent, but not overwhelming. Lay the sprigs (like a nest?) around the sides, so maybe they get close to the rim — but don’t try to arrange them or load up the bowl — less is more. Let the shiny apples piled high be the image you keep.
If the silver bowls get too expensive, or you can’t find enough, consider clear column-shaped vases. You can find them at craft stores for only a few dollars.
