October is the highly anticipated month for apple picking and the making of apple treats. Inspired by not only red, but green apples...how can you incorporate this delicious and filling fruit into your wedding reception decor and tablescapes? Check out some of these "tasty" ideas:
 |
| Accent the wedding cake with "sugar" apples. Real apples would be too heavy and could damage the cake. |
 |
| Serve a refreshing drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, infused with apples. |
 |
| Create a dessert station showcasing the wedding cake and some of your favorite apple treats. |
 |
| Be creative and use delicious apples as the holder for your escort cards. They could then double as a guest favor. |
 |
| A mix of apples and candles makes a contemporary centerpiece. |
 |
| Taffy/caramel apples on a dessert station or as a take-home treat for your guests would certainly make them smile. |
 |
| A pairing of apples and flowers would look lovely on a buffet or escort card table, and consider the blend for the tablescape, too. |
Until next time...WEDologize!

Consider caramel apples decorated with the couples favorite candies and sprinkles or how about giving the female guests a bride and the male guests a groom. Or maybe stick with the traditional look of the caramel apple and create a presentation with additional sweet treats that your guests will smile about.
At my October 2, 2010 wedding, we changed the escort card table into the caramel apple display at the end of the reception. Guests were too happy to take home these tasty treats from Katherine Ann Confections in Chicago, Illinois.
