Dress Up the Tables with Fruit Arrangements

When people have large gatherings they tend to use flowers to dress up the tables. While there is certainly nothing wrong with the concept, it can be bad for those guests who are allergic to the scent of flowers. Instead of choosing flowers, you can use fruit arrangements which will serve a dual purpose: provide a beautiful arrangement on the table and serve as an appetizer for the guests. Whether you choose a fruit basket or one of the edible fruit arrangements is a personal choice, but either one will work just as well and serve the same purpose.

When people plan wedding receptions and large parties they have a tendency to use small selections of candy as gifts for the guests. The problem with this selection is you will have those people who are attempting to lose weight and others who may be diabetic and unable to consume these little delicacies (or at least wish to save the sugar content for the dessert). Fruit arrangements are much healthier than candy or other table gifts you may wish to serve. The key is to choose items that will be healthy for everyone at the table without having to be concerned about those on diets or those who cannot consume a great deal of sugar.

While edible fruit arrangements usually contain dipped fruit that can contain sugar, it also contains plenty of other fresh fruits that are healthy and tasty for everyone. Also, you do not necessarily have to include dipped fruit in your edible fruit arrangements-the choices you include are up to you. If you know some of your guests at a particular table are unable to eat certain citrus fruits, you can eliminate those fruits from the fruit arrangements you place on that table.

The nice thing about using fruit arrangements is you can choose them for the occasion or the time of year. You can choose a design that is fitting for the holiday or occasion at least in terms of the colors. If you don’t use dipped fruits, you can still add plenty of color to your fruit arrangements with food coloring. Before you plan your next large party or other gathering, take the time to research some of the fruit arrangements that are available so when you are ready to order you will already know what you want. Even if you plan to make the fruit arrangements yourself you can gain some insight into different designs.
