Perfect Pears.

Let's talk fruit, specifically the wonderful Oregon Pear. I came upon the USA Pear website and found some great ideas for wedding decor.

The first one is sugared pears. This is such a simple and elegant way to make center pieces for your tables. Choose all the same color or mix it up. Either way this classic way of decorating needs to make a come-back!

Play off the name of the fruit by offering guest the "perfect pear" as a wedding favor. Keep the packaging simple and add a ribbon to accent your wedding day colors. You could also tie a message around the bag with your initials and the text "the perfect pear!". Get creative with it!

You can dress them up even more by gilding them with silver or gold leaf. I love their idea of using these for place card holders...so pretty! You can download these ideas by visiting USA Pears and click on Lifestyle, Decorating. You'll find other great ideas on their site as well, such as yummy recipes for cocktails and desserts. Hmmm, I'm getting hungry just thinking out it!
