Forgo the Flowers



I love floral centerpieces for any party - large or small. But sometimes it's fun to do something unexpected and forgo the flowers. Here are a few of my favorites.

  1. Now these are centerpieces I could do... especially artichokes in silver cups and tomatoes in baskets! I guess the only risk is having your guests eat the display... Happy weekend, Kate!

  4. I love this post! I pinned a few of these pics I was so inspired! I love the tomatoes and breadsticks for a pasta dinner, LOVE the veggies - I take photos of my fruit basket like it was a vase of flowers! LOVE the apples for a fall dinner - I've used granny smiths before - but those red apples are gorgeous with the green leaves!
    Love it...

  5. I lovely ideas. Since it is hard to find good flowers in winter, I always turn to citrus centerpieces from my garden during winter months. I also like to use centerpiece as part of the dessert.

  15. These are beautiful ideas. I especially love the all-white fruit centerpiece on the footed compote. Are the fruit sugared? Whatever, it is a great look.
    Best...Victoria
