Centerpiece Ideas for Quinces

• A close relative of the pear and apple, the quince fruit has a lumpy exterior that creates an unusual addition to centerpieces and floral arrangements. The quince has a golden color when ripe and contrast nicely with flowers and green foliage. Be creative when using quince in your arrangements. Have fun mixing fruits together for fun and playful centerpieces, and ones that can be eaten after the party for dessert.
  
  

Tall Centerpiece

• The vibrant yellow pear-shaped quince fruit looks excellent placed inside a tall clear vase. The see-through glass showcases the unusual fruit for an unexpected look to your table. Create this centerpiece by removing any foliage from the quince. Begin placing the fruit inside the vase and up to the top until you've reached two to three inches from the lip of the vase. For color and contrast, add small key limes inside the clear vase for a fresh design to any table.
  
  

Centerpiece Trough

• Fill a wood trough with quince and other vibrant fruit or vegetables for an unusual design. Troughs are ideal for a centerpiece because they are placed down the length of a dining table for an elegant focal point to any party. Troughs are also ideal for fruit and other decorative items like ornaments and balls because of their round bowl shape that cradles fruit perfectly. To create the a centerpiece trough, add the quince fruit to the trough. Mix in other round fruits like oranges and meyer lemons for a citrus filled trough and one that fills the room with fragrance. Create contrast to the centerpiece by adding vibrant green artichokes. If you're on a budget, troughs are ideal because you don't have to spend a lot of money on flowers.
  
  

Flower Mix

• Use the quince to create a floral and fruit combination centerpiece. Begin by adding the yellow quince to a clear vase or urn and one that's wide enough to hold at least two quince fruit side by side. Fill the vase up to the top with quince and fill with water three quarters of the way for feeding the flowers. The quince will help to hold the flowers in place and keep the stems straight and snug. Begin adding your favorite flowers like draping tulips and large day lilies to the vase. Don't forget to add in bits of greenery like lily grass for a balanced and lovely design. Once completed, the quince adds a fresh look to the clear vase and unexpected element to a traditional floral arrangement.
