Who says wedding décor has to stop at flowers? At Ivory & Beau, we’re always on the lookout for the next big trend in weddings—and lately, we’ve been completely obsessed with the rise of fruit-filled wedding décor. From sun-kissed citrus displays to lush, moody romantic grape and fig displays, these edible centerpieces turned tables into unforgettable experiences.

A Citrus Splash of Sunshine

For couples dreaming of something playful, bright, and coastal-chic, citrus décor is the ultimate vibe. Think juicy oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and kumquats styled alongside pastel blooms like poppies, ranunculus, and hydrangeas. Tables glowed with halved fruit tucked between flickering candles, while even the cake embraced the theme with delicate blossoms in citrus shades.

The look was fresh, modern, and unforgettable—perfect for spring and summer weddings. Guests loved the way the citrus not only looked stunning but also added a subtle fragrance and natural warmth to the celebration.

A Rich & Romantic Feast for the Eyes

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we leaned into deep, dramatic tones with a moody jewel-toned palette. Instead of citrus, their edible décor featured grapes, cherries, apples, and figs, layered with velvety red roses and textured greenery. Gold accents, candelabras, and vintage-inspired tableware tied it all together for a look that felt like a modern Renaissance feast.

Highlights included a tower of coupe glasses filled with roses and grapes, a dramatic tiered cake wrapped in berries and blooms, and long banquet tables draped in fruit and florals that looked straight out of an oil painting. This style is perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel luxurious, romantic, and timeless.

Why Couples (and Guests) Can’t Get Enough

Fruit-filled décor isn’t just a pretty detail—it’s an experience. Couples love how edible arrangements add personality and depth to their wedding design, while guests are instantly drawn to the unexpected beauty of a table lined with glowing citrus or lush clusters of grapes and roses. It’s décor that feels alive: vibrant, fragrant, and layered with texture.

Even better? This trend is endlessly versatile. Whether you’re planning a bright and breezy coastal wedding in Hilton Head, a chic celebration in Savannah, or a rich, romantic soirée in Charleston, edible décor adapts beautifully to fit your vibe. It elevates your tablescapes, enhances your photos, and creates an atmosphere that leaves everyone saying, “I’ve never seen anything like this before!”
