An autumn wedding is the perfect time to incorporate apples into your wedding theme. With vibrant colors and a wide variety to choose from, apples are versatile ingredients to dress up any wedding.
A simple and fun apple-themed centerpiece can be made out of a bushel basket, cloth napkin, and apples. You can also label your tables by placing a numbered stake in the basket. The apples pictured in the centerpiece are from the Milk Pail Market in Mountain View, which always has the best prices in produce!
Materials:
- bushel basket (available at general craft stores such as Michael’s)
- square cloth napkin (or hemmed fabric of your choice)
- apples
- wooden stake
- cardstock for table numbers
- basket filler (optional)
Steps:
- Line basket with napkin.
- (Optional) Fill basket with basket filler (shredded paper, old newspaper, etc.)
- Step 3: Glue cardstock with table numbers to wooden stake. Add more uniformity to your centerpiece by imitating the patterned cloth on your cardstock. Pictured above, a checkered border printed onto cardstock reflects the same checkered fabric in the basket.
- Place stake in the center of the basket.
- Arrange apples in the basket around the stake.
Have fun!
