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.
Thanks for stopping by
Purple Chocolat Home
to see what is being
created!
