Getting your 5 a day

Are you looking for something a bit different when it comes to decorating your tables at your wedding? I’ll admit that initially I found the idea of using vegetables a little odd, but once I’d seen it done well, I thought it was a great idea. Vegetables have such wonderful unique shapes, textures and colours that you don’t always get naturally in flowers and plants, and they can provide really beautiful accompaniments to flowers or even on their own. Take a look at these pictures and see what you think.

Who knew onions could be so pretty! These red onions and spring onions are a great alternative for lovers of all things wild and naturally beautiful. I really like the way you can almost see their roots still growing. Photography by We Love Pictures via Before the Big Day.

Taken from the same wedding as the lovely onion displays, these beautiful, delicate, wild flowers, and vegetables (I can see a mini cabbage in there) are perfectly balanced by the solid, raw wooden stands on which they are placed.  Photography by We Love Pictures via Before the Big Day.

Fresh produce including aubergines, turnip, beetroot can make a unique table display. Photography by Isabelle Selby Photography via Hello Love Blog.
