Unique Holiday Decorating Ideas with Fresh Fruit and Greenery

Incorporating real fruits and fresh pine clippings into your holiday decorations can add a natural, festive touch to your home. Here are three unique ways to use them in your own decorating:

Fruit and Pine Wreath: A Festive and Fragrant Decoration

Create a beautiful wreath by combining fresh pine clippings with colorful fruits like apples, oranges and pomegranates. You can use a foam wreath base as a foundation and secure the pine branches and fruits with floral wire. This combination not only adds a delightful fragrance to your decorations but also adds a burst of vibrant colors.

Create Beautiful Orange and Clove Pomanders

Nothing takes me back to my childhood holidays like the smell of orange and clove pomanders. Not only do they smell amazing but they make a beautiful centerpiece or kitchen counter display. You can even decorate them in a variety of patterns.

Remember to keep your fruit decorations fresh by replacing them when they start to show signs of aging, and take care to keep the pine clippings hydrated to prolong their green appearance. These unique ideas will infuse your home with the spirit of the season and create a memorable holiday atmosphere.

Designer Tip for Finding Fresh Greenery

Designer Tip: Many stores sell fresh greenery this time of year including Trader Joes and Whole Foods, but my favorite place to get fresh greens is from the cuttings bin at your local Christmas tree lot. Not only are the cuttings incredibly fresh, but they are usually free!
