It’s summer and produce is in its prime — overly abundant and vibrantly beautiful. The colors of fruits and vegetables naturally display a pallet that embodies the seasons. When harvests are flourishing they can make the most effortless gifts and gorgeous displays. Edible tablescapes are a major entertaining trend that brings a refreshing alternative to traditional florals. Skip the flowers and let produce take center stage for an eclectic style that is both memorable and intimate.
Adorn your summer picnic tables and backyard barbecues with an abundance of peaches, deep purple plums and sunburst nectarines. Mix in fresh herbs like basil and mint for height. Heirloom tomatoes of all shapes, colors, and sizes can be scattered throughout. Let seasonal fruits and vegetables guide the vibe of your gathering, whether it be a formal bridal shower or casual potluck. Put your produce on display and instantly the setting communicates a farm-to-table vibe that connects guests to break bread together in the most comforting way.
Not only is fresh produce stunning enough to display for entertaining, but it also makes the most joyful gift to give and receive. No bouquet can compare to receiving a box of the first ripe peaches of summer. The next time you visit someone special, just bring them a basket filled with heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and perhaps a bottle of extra virgin olive oil or your favorite balsamic. They will be delighted. Talley boxes are bursting with the colors and flavors of the season. Customize your box to add whatever you need for your next party or heartfelt gift.
