"Visually Appealing and Delicious! The Surprising Popularity of Vegetable Floral Arrangements"

Using Vegetables as Decorations! Ideas for Vegetable Arrangements

It’s common to decorate guest tables with flowers at weddings.

But there’s an idea that overturns that convention.

It’s called [Vegetable Arrangements].

As the name suggests, it's a table setting that uses vegetables as decorations!

I actually saw the idea of using vegetables as venue decorations on social media a few years ago.

At that time, I thought, "Wow! This is really rare! I didn’t know there were weddings like this…"

Recently, I’ve come across various examples of vegetable arrangements, and I started to wonder, “Perhaps there are surprisingly many couples choosing vegetable decorations?” So, I decided to look into it.

In this article, I will introduce the charm and designs of vegetable arrangements.

What’s the Charm of Vegetable Arrangements?

The biggest appeal of vegetable arrangements is their unusual appearance and impact.

While floral decorations are an essential element that creates the atmosphere of the venue, it can be difficult for flowers alone to leave a deep impression on guests.

In that regard, vegetable arrangements are guaranteed to remain in the memories of all guests. Even men who aren’t interested in flowers might remark, “The flowers at the wedding the other day were incredible!”

Another charm is that they can be enjoyed as food.

With stick-cut vegetable arrangements, guests can enjoy a vegetable platter during the reception.

The timing can vary—from waiting for the reception to start, to enjoying it with champagne at the toast, or during the couple’s absence.

You can incorporate a surprise element into the reception program by including “eating the vegetable arrangements” as an activity.

Additionally, you could have a “pickling” activity where guests gather the vegetables in jars as the table rounds.

Or, you could let guests choose their favorite vegetable, and then give a gift to the person who picked the vegetable that the couple draws in a lottery.

The charm of vegetable arrangements lies not only in their unique appearance but also in how they can be integrated into various activities for enjoyment.

There were even couples who had guests take vegetables home as souvenirs.

There might be surprisingly many guests who would prefer vegetables over flowers!

It was said that some male guests were seen earnestly choosing vegetables to give to their wives♡.

What are the Designs for Vegetable Arrangements?

Vegetable arrangements are rare and fun. However, since they will be used for a wedding, it’s essential that they look beautiful.

Here are three splendid decoration patterns for vegetable arrangements.

The first pattern is filling a box with cut vegetables.

The beautifully carved vegetables resemble petals and greens, adding glamour. Plus, they are easy to eat as is♩.

The second pattern involves displaying whole vegetables in a basket.

Mixing them with flowers to create a vibrant look is quite popular.

Guests can experience a treasure hunt feeling, discovering, “Wait, are there vegetables in this arrangement?!”

The third pattern features small cut vegetables surrounded by large vegetables scattered around.

Without any flowers, they are still colorful enough to rival floral decorations♡
