This is a very simple idea for a table centerpiece. What else can I do if I run out of time? We had a celebration during last weekend. My son turned into one. I will post some of his first Birthday Party photos soon.Until that,today I thought of sharing this simple table decoration from the Birthday Party.
Although we ordered food from a catering service, I still cooked some vegetarian foods. We invited few friends for the lunch. Time ran so fast and I found I didn’t have time for any garnish or a simple carving as I planned.
Easy Table Centerpiece with Fruits
So here is what I came up with!
Luckily we didn’t throw the top of pineapple when we prepare the fruit platter. Actually I asked my husband to keep it till we finish all other things. I had a feeling that this pineapple top would be great for a decoration.
Here is what I did.
I used a white plate for the centerpiece arrangement.
Placed the Pineapple top on a side of the plate.
Then I used my V-shape cutter and halved an orange.
After that I kept two halves of cherry tomatoes on oranges. Aren’t these orange halves colourful?
Finally, I used some strawberries and cherry tomatoes together with orange halves to arrange the centerpiece.
To make the arrangement more beautiful, I used a flower pot and filled with grapes. Actually I didn’t have much grapes remaining. We used those in fruit platter. Here is the trick. Inside the flower pot, I kept a small drinking glass upside down. Therefore a little space remained for any other filing.
I filled the remaining space with grapes.
A glass jar filled with pickled vegetables added more beauty for the arrangement.

Hi Amila, very pretty decoration. Agree with you, fruits are the best decoration for centerpiece and it’s edible too. Don’t waste the pineapple crown, great for display. I just used it for my latest posting to made parrot. :))
Have a nice day, regards.
