By popular request, today I’m sharing the SUPER easy fruit and flower table runner I created for my girls wine night last week. I was so excited to pull this one together and absolutely loved how it turned out.

I hosted this party on a Monday night and knew I would have a limited window of time between work and 7 pm to pull everything together, so I grabbed my flowers the day before and let them hang out overnight in a big vase of water.My original plan was to get a ton of eucalyptus and a few bunches of peonies from Trader Joe’s. However, when I arrived to TJ the floral section had been totally picked through so I ended up grabbing some greenery and fruit then ran to Harris Teeter for the rest.

The entire arrangement came in around $65, which is a lot more than I would usually spend on my tablescape but it was totally worth it (and the flowers have lasted well beyond my event). The greenery was about $4/bunch, the bags of fruit were about $2-3/bag and the garden roses came in around $12/bouquet.

Here’s what I grabbed

3 bunches of greenery (TJ)
1 bunch of Bells of Ireland (TJ)
2 bags of lemons (TJ)
3 bags of limes (TJ)
1 bag of clementines (TJ)
1 bunch of green mums/chrysanthemum(HT)
1 bunch pink carnations (HT)
3 bouquets of various shades of pink garden roses (HT)

Fruit & Flower Summer Tablescape

Materials

3 bunches of greenery (TJ)
1 bunch of Bells of Ireland (TJ)
2 bags of lemons (TJ)
3 bags of limes (TJ)
1 bag of clementines (TJ)
1 bunch of green mums/chrysanthemum(HT)
1 bunch pink carnations (HT)
3 bouquets of various shades of pink garden roses (HT)

Instructions

Step 1: Add your base layer of greenery

Step 2: Scatter the clementines

Step 3: Trim the carnation stems and insert around the edges of the greenery

Step 4: Halve all the limes and half the lemons and scatter down the table. Add some whole lemons too for a pop of yellow.

Step 5: Cut the stems off of the mums and roses and scatter across the top. Note: I tried to keep the stems on the roses that were not placed directly on top so I could save them to enjoy after the party.

Step 6: Add your glassware. I recently picked up these acrylic unbreakable wine glasses on sale and everyone commented on how much they loved them. They look like real glass and are super pretty.
