More tips for my beautiful budget-savvy brides!
Today I’ll focus on using food as part of your wedding day décor. Sounds crazy, right? It’s really not!
When done correctly, food can be presented in such a way to appear classy, chic, rustic, elegant…basically whatever you need it to be. Add that to the fact it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than most floral wedding arrangements, and you’ve got my attention! ;)

This wedding at Cedarwood, located in beautiful Nashville, really utilized the natural colors of fruits and veggies in their farmer’s market-inspired wedding.
The bright colors of the carrots and apples go perfectly with these wildflowers (also a less expensive flower option!).

Pepper nestled in some grass. Bright and pretty, and so unique.

I’ve never seen something like this before, and I love it. Definitely going to recommend it to my next “rustic” bride who’s looking for something different!
Now the pictures above obviously work for a country-themed wedding. But what if you want something a little less bright, and a little more simple?

[marthastewartweddings.com]I think the above display creates a casual, relaxed vibe without breaking the bank. One box of these tomatoes costs around $4 or $5. Just search through your local farmer’s market and place an order for however many you need. Simple and chic, with a rustic flair – not to mention supporting the locals! Added bonus? A few days after the wedding, grab your hubby, the overripe tomatoes, and get down and dirty making home-made marinara sauce.
To go out on a limb, what about herbs as centerpieces? These could double as favors, and they smell great (at least I think so; I’m married to an Italian, so hand me some basil and I’m all set!).

Have you seen any cool food centerpieces lately? Was it beautiful and unique or was it just plain tacky? Email me and let me know!
You HAVE to add those amazing silver-painted pumpkins that you did for that baby shower a few years ago. Those were the most amazing centerpieces, and so surprising!
