We started with a small box of tangerines and some yellow mums.

We arranged the tangerines and some small lemons in our bowl.

Note: Ripening fruit can cause fresh flowers to wilt so be sure to add flowers only an hour or so before your party.

Next we added the flowers and leaves. Vary this arrangement by choosing apples, figs, grapes, plums, or peaches, and changing the flowers to roses, mini-carnations, or lilies.
