my colors are yellow gray and white and i've thought about using lemon centerpieces but i'm not sure yet. I like these centerpieces especially the round ones but i was thinking of using white carnations.

From what I've seen you just stuff them full of lemons and they are forced to stay that way or you could cut them, stick them to the sides with a little sticky tack or light glue, then fill them (just throwing out some possibilities here).
If you have a floating candle at the top, won't the candle itself kind of keep them from bobbing up?
Oh my gosh those are GORGEOUS! But that many lemons is gonna be expensive!!! I love how lemons look, floating around.
just a word of caution with lemons limes etc in your centerpieces- DONT DO THEM THE DAY BEFORE
My mom is a florist and im sure you have all seen the commercial for the lemon arrangement. We’ll she had someone call from out of state to order one (she hadn’t seen it before) and sent it out. The next day got an irate phone call from the person who received it they said how horrible it looked because of the lemons being under water for a day.
TyeJRN, those are beautiful! I wish my colors were yellow now!
WOW! These are beautiful! My BFF loves yellow and would LOVE this idea! Great job!
@eryepye - Nope the candle doesn't The lemons push the candle to the side or completely out of the water.
oh shoot, I don't know then! Good luck though, lemons will be very pretty!
Wow, I LOVE the look of those. I actually currently have a lemon centerpiece on our dining room table--but they're faux lemons. I tried putting some water in there and they didn't float, so maybe that would be an option. Although they're just regular lemons, not slices. I believe I got them as vase fillers at Target.
I think they're beautiful but they have to tie in with your theming or colours - otherwise it looks totally out of place. I would be concerned about the cost, where i'm from, lemons tend to be pretty expensive
I had a quote for a florist here in cleveland and she wants about 350.00 to do them for 15 tables. Considering what I already have to pay for my other flowers I don't think this will be an option : (.
We used whole grapefruits and lemons for my gf's engagement party. WATCH OUT! If you prepare them a couple days ahead of time, they might go moldy, esp if left out in room temperature!
But the fresh ones smelled lovely!
I'll share mine, ignore the feathers, probably won't be using them! What I've found out, You CAN cut them a day before, but it's best to keep them cold until you put them in the vase! Don't store them in water though. I used a styrofoam block down in the middle and put the lemons in around it and on top! It's so easy!

Is anyone using lemons for their centerpieces? I wanted to put lemons in a vase with a floating candle on top but I can't figure out how to make the lemons stay down. Any suggestions? Anyone have unique lemon centerpiece pics? Please share
