Fruit carving arrangements can take the place of or add to fresh flowers for your wedding reception. Some carvers are highly skilled and can turn a simple melon into a work of art. While your guest may be accustomed to seeing ice carvings at receptions, fruit carvings will grab their attention and keep them talking about your wedding reception. 

Fruit carvings are not a do it yourself project unless you have had plenty of practice. This is one wedding accent that it pays to hire a professional to execute.
