Vegetables...for decoration!

If you don't like to eat vegetables...you can decorate with them! I love this unique idea for decorating your fall table. If you aren't an expert on flowers, this would be an easy alternative! And, unlike flowers, these don't have to go in the trash after your party.

When I came across this idea on BHG's web site it reminded me of an article I recently saw in Flower Magazine. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the image online, so this scanned version will have to suffice. In this article, florist and event planner Sandra de Ovando has designed a table that mixes both food and flowers harmoniously. Her table (complete with food) looks to me like more of a work of art than something edible.

So often it seems that I go to an event where the food is served in silver chaffin dishes or on boring platters. I get so excited to see a more creative way of serving food, especially when the food compliments the decor. If you are planning an event, I urge you to think outside of the box when it comes to displaying your food, and to consider about using food as a decoration!
