Honey Tangerines are Perfect for Wedding Receptions
When you’re planning a winter wedding it can be difficult to find flowers that will set your wedding apart from others and that won’t break your budget. Because of the cold weather the cost of flowers is higher, and it’s harder to find locations like gardens or arboretums that offer a naturally beautiful background at a low cost. Using honey tangerines and other specialty fruit instead of flowers is a fabulous way to get the signature look you want for your reception without spending a fortune on flowers.
Honey tangerines and Honeybell oranges, which are only available for a limited time during the winter months, are beautifully bright and cheerful and festive looking, which makes them perfect centerpieces for a wedding. Honey tangerines can have either a deep red orange color or a bright orange color, so you can use the contrasting colors to bring splashes of festive color to your tables. Centerpieces made of baskets or containers filled with honey tangerines and Honeybells tied with ribbons in your wedding color are not only beautiful but practical as well, because guests can take home the fruit as wedding favors. You can buy special stickers or even have a stamper made that has your names and the wedding date on it and you can mark each piece of fruit with those. Or, you can have little knitted sacks embroidered with your initials available for guests to use to take home their fruit.
Honey tangerines are also deliciously sweet, and you can use them to make a signature cocktail for the wedding or as garnishes for various drinks. Cocktails made with honey tangerines and Honeybell oranges have a unique taste that your guests will love. You can also make honey tangerine sorbet to use in wedding punch, either alcoholic punch or non alcoholic punch. The refreshing sorbet will infuse the punch with an intense kick of citrus flavor as it melts.
Wedding don’t have to cost a fortune, even winter ones. If you are creative and think about how to use everyday objects, like grapefruits or tangerines, creatively you can have a beautiful wedding that will reflect your tastes and personalities without going into debt. You can even have a tasty tangerine cake for about one third the cost of a traditional wedding cake, and there will be plenty left for everyone to take home a piece without buying an additional cake like couples often have to do with traditional wedding cakes.
