Color

Just like with flowers, consider color harmony when selecting your produce. Color plays a crucial role in the aesthetics of your arrangement. Ensure you find the perfect match for your vision.

Aim for a balanced blend of hues, incorporating complementary colors to create harmony. Consider the overall color scheme of your event or space when selecting produce to ensure cohesion with the surroundings.

Variety

Play with textures and shapes! Combine smooth apples with bumpy lemon or contrast long spinach leaves with round red tomatoes.

Combine fruits like avocadoes and oranges with elongated options such as bananas or cucumbers. Contrast smooth surfaces with rough ones, like the knobby exterior of a pineapple against the sleek skin of a butternut.

Don't be afraid to incorporate unique finds like colorful baby corn or leafy herbs.

Fresh Produce

The foundation of any remarkable fruit or vegetable arrangement lies in the quality of the ingredients. Choose fruits and vegetables that are ripe, vibrant in color, and free from blemishes.

Opt for a diverse selection to add visual interest and variety to your arrangement. Sometimes choose fruits and vegetables with a few days left to ripen for optimal shelf life in your overnight storage before setting up.

Mist your arrangement with cool water a few hours to the event to keep your decor looking vibrant.

Tools

Invest in high-quality tools such as carving knives and decorative cutters to achieve precision in your arrangements.

These tools allow you to sculpt intricate shapes and designs, adding an extra layer of sophistication to your creations.

Creativity

Don't be afraid to experiment! Fruit and vegetable arrangements are a fantastic way to express your unique style.

Explore different presentation techniques to showcase your arrangements in unique ways. Consider using stands, decorative bowls, or even carved fruit baskets to add dimension and visual interest to your display.

Layer and Build

Start with larger fruits and vegetables towards the back, then layer in progressively smaller items, filling any gaps with greenery or herbs.

Tuck in interesting twists like leaves or strategically placed hoho or kitungu saumu for a touch of the unexpected.

With a little planning and these expert tips from Tru Urban Bloom, you can create stunning fruit and vegetable arrangements that will be the star of any table.
