Blushing Berries { Natural Delights }
When you think “berryâ€, the first picture that jumps to mind is a plump juicy strawberry, of course. However why limit yourself to red, when there’s a whole spectrum of deep purples, zesty oranges and ruby reds waiting to jump on the table? Blueberries, raspberries, gooseberries, mulberries, blackberries are all ideally suited to the berry-ful occasion and are the ideal treat for a summery wedding.
Then again, why limit yourself to edible berries? Because of their untamed exterior, wild forest and tree berries can make for whimsical decoration. They’re also far less likely to pop and spill juice all over the place, which makes them ideal for boutonnieres, bouquets and table arrangements. Just be sure to inform guests that they’re not edible to save yourself a trip to the ICU.
