Fall is all about time with friends and family. From Halloween parties to Thanksgiving dinners, food is top of mind this time of year. But the table decorations matter too! Here is a creative way to turn your everyday fruits and vegetables like pineapples, pumpkins, and squash into gorgeous floral vases and centerpieces that will wow every guest.
Before you start, cut the ends of your stems at an angle and allow them to hydrate in fresh water for at least 1 to 2 hours. This keeps your blooms fresh and perky throughout your entire gathering. Shop farm-fresh fall flowers, sunflowers, roses, and more at Bloomingmore.
What You Will Need:
- Produce (pineapples, watermelon, pumpkin, squash, etc.)
- Bowl
- Cutting board
- Scissors
- Sharp knife
- Fresh flowers
- Corer or spoon
Wash and dry your produce before you start. For some items you may need to cut a small slice off the bottom to keep it stable on the table. Then cut off the top and get ready to hollow out the inside.
Use your hands or a spoon to empty out the inside of the fruit or vegetable. You may need a knife to loosen the filling from the edges before scooping.
Repeat the process with the rest of your fruits and vegetables. Once they are all hollowed out, grab your flowers and trim the stems to fit the height of each vase.
Fill your fruit and vegetable vases with your fresh flowers and arrange them the way you love. We used Bloomingmore bouquets. You can shop our full fresh cut flower collection to find the perfect blooms for your arrangement.
These centerpieces are perfect for Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and just about any fall gathering. The best part? You can eat the vase when the party is over.
