Tiered Fruit Centerpiece - Oranges and Roses

We were having a 

Relief Society Party, 

(our church's women's group),

with a Yoga and Meditation 

instructor and a juice bar 

for refreshments. 

I was asked to make a 

centerpiece for the table.  

I wanted to make it 

health-oriented and as 

I had a lot of oranges 

on hand for juicing, I 

decided to create this 

tower of fruit and flowers.

I started with this tin 

three-tiered stand that 

had been a gift a few 

years ago.  The tiers 

are quite deep, so I lined 

the bottoms with foam 

and covered the foam with 

green tissue paper. 

I added a few grapefruits 

and limes to give it 

dimension and color 

and cut some of the fruit 

in half for visual interest.

The flowers were purchased 

at Trader Joe's.  These were 

some of the prettiest orange 

roses I had ever seen.  I had 

floral water tubes that I put 

the roses in so they wouldn't 

dry out.  

Then I filled in with two 

kinds of eucalyptus, also 

from Trader Joe's.  These 

were placed in floral tubes also.

I just loved the variety 

in the roses.  This one 

had such gorgeous frills.

The final result was beautiful,  

and perfect for a 

health-inspired activity.  

Of course, with the floral 

tubes, the arrangement 

lasted for days and then 

we could eat and juice 

the fruit.

I was thrilled with the 

way it turned out.
