If you want to save money on decorations for an upcoming wedding you can use beautifully decorated baskets full of citrus fruit at the reception and at the ceremony site. Fruit baskets are bright and colorful and can be a great replacement for expensive flowers. Using fruit baskets as decorations also makes it easy for guests to grab a healthy snack when they are celebrating at the reception. You can even decorate the oranges, grapefruit or other citrus fruit by getting a custom stamp made with your names and the date. Dip the stamp in food coloring and stamp the fruit and you have a fun and unique reception favor that your guests will love. If you want to make your wedding unique without spending a fortune using baskets beautifully arranged with citrus is the way to do it.

Fruit makes for the ideal decoration for weddings that are a little out of the ordinary. If you're planning a spring wedding, or a summer beach wedding there are a lot of problems getting flowers that will stand up to heat or ocean surf. If you're having a beach wedding you also have to work out the logistics of getting flowers to the beach and cleaning them up afterward. Baskets are easy to carry, can be placed anywhere, and can sit all day in the sun and ocean surf and still taste delicious. Unique baskets full of oranges and grapefruit can also handle the unpredictable weather of spring weddings because they can handle cold weather or warm weather just fine. Flowers can easily wilt and die if there are exposed to temperature changes or if they are placed in the wrong spot. When you use baskets full of fruit to decorate the ceremony site and reception hall you know you're not wasting money on something that might die before your guests even see it.

Baskets full of delicious fresh citrus fruit are a luxurious choice for winter weddings. When the weather is cold and there is a lot of snow decorating with baskets full of lush oranges, Honeybells, tangerines and other citrus fruits will make the reception seem warmer and richer. And you won't have to worry about flowers dying from the cold. Baskets packed with citrus for weddings are practical and beautiful, so when you are thinking about wedding site and reception hall decorations for your wedding think about using uniquely arranged baskets filled with fresh citrus fruit.
