Tips for Choosing the Perfect Fruit Arrangement
When you’re choosing a fruit arrangement for a party or event there are a lot of factors to consider. Choosing the right fruit assortment for the event will make a difference in the quality of the event, so even though the fruit arrangement you choose might not be the most important decision you make about the party it’s still an important part of the integrity of the event. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by all the choices that have to be made when planning an event and some people have a hard time keeping track of the big picture, the overall theme of the event. Here are some tips from expert party and event planners that will help you choose the right citrus fruit assortment for your event without a lot of stress:
What fruit is in season at the time of the event? Seasonal fresh fruit is always the best ot have at a party or event. Seasonal citrus fruit tastes delicious and provides a healthy alternative to your guests. The bright colors of seasonal citrus fruit will add a lot to the decor and make a tray or table holding a fruit arrangement look both inviting and beautiful. Often you can find great deals on citrus fruit baskets full of oranges, grapefruits and other seasonal fruits. If you want your fruit arrangement to feature only high end or exotic fruits look for baskets full of Honeybells or Clementines, but those fruits are only available during certain months of the year and may not be available for your party or event.
Who is coming to the event? If your event is going to be attended primarily by children, like a birthday party, you should choose a fruit assortment that includes tangerines or other easy to peel citrus fruit so that the kids can peel and eat the fruit by themselves. If the people attending the party are going to be older look for a fruit assortment that contains fruits like grapefruits which adults tend to prefer. Tailor the fruit assortment that you choose to the tastes of the people who are going to be attending.
What time of day is the event? If the event is a breakfast or brunch event then you should look for a fruit arrangement that contains grapefruit, which is something people really enjoy for breakfast and is safe for anyone to eat regardless of what dietary beliefs they have. A fruit basket filled with different varieties of grapefruit is perfect for a morning event.
