Set a Gourmet Table with Fruit Baskets

If you’re having a gourmet dinner party, or if you want to set a gourmet table during the holidays for family and friends, using fruit baskets to decorate the table is the best way to make your table look great without spending a fortune. Fruit baskets come in elegant containers like ceramic bowls, glass or crystal containers, or in many other styles so you can choose one that is appropriate for your event. Bright colored citrus fruits like oranges, Honeybells, and grapefruit make a beautiful splash of color on the table and make it easy for you to grab fresh citrus fruit if you need to for drinks or for cooking.

You can make a delicious citrus punch by juicing some of the fruits from the fruit baskets and combining them with ginger ale, wine, or club soda. Making a fresh punch from the readily available fruit will impress your guests, especially if the fruit is seasonal. Local and seasonal eating is very trendy in gourmet circles right now so big fruit baskets showcasing the freshest seasonal fruits will definitely impress your foodie friends and loved ones.

Fruit baskets as table decorations also make it possible for anyone who can’t eat something that is being served to discreetly find something that they can eat. People who choose not to eat animal products, or who can’t have sugar or other processed foods will have the option to eat some refreshing citrus fruit if they choose not to eat one of the dishes offered, like dessert. Or you can skip a dessert course altogether and let your guests choose their own desserts from the assorted fruit baskets that are on the table.

Fruit baskets are also great table decorations for events where children will be present. You can’t very well decorate a table with candles or fragile glassware when children are going to be at the table who might burn themselves or break the glassware. But fruit is fairly indestructible and still looks great.

Fruit baskets are practical and beautiful, which makes them ideal for decoration. Whether you need decorations for the holidays, wedding receptions, baby or bridal showers, corporate events, or anniversary parties if you want to make your table look as good as the food you’re going to serve tastes then using fruit baskets is the way to do it. You can also customize your fruit baskets to fit into the theme of the event, or use custom containers, ribbons or other decorations to add a touch of elegance.
