Choose fruit that is ripe but not over-ripe. Make sure the fruit has the full color appeal of ripe fruit, but you do not want brown spots or any signs of rotting. Even if the rotting part on a fruit does not show, the centerpiece may smell off because of it.

Prepare your fruit wedding centerpieces as close to the wedding as possible, preferably the day before. This will ensure that your fruit both looks and smells fresh.

Choose fruit in season for a cheap wedding centerpiece. Fruit in season can be arranged beautifully to make an elegant centerpiece but will save you money at the same time.

Choose exotic fruits or fruits that are not commonly eaten for a unique wedding centerpiece that stands out. Fruits like mangoes, kiwis, persimmons, papayas and pomegranates can create an exotic ambiance.

Choose fruits that match your wedding color theme. Fruit colors do not have to match wedding theme colors exactly, but can be a close match.

Choose the kind of container you want -- baskets, vases and even rustic wooden boxes work well -- and arrange the fruit in a pleasing manner. You can place fruit by size, color, texture, or vary the arrangements any way that you like.

Create a fruit wedding centerpiece with a single flower. If you want a flower look but do not want to spend the money on a lot of flowers, fill a wide vase with fruits and place a single long stemmed flower into the vase.

Create a fruit wedding basket centerpiece with a variety of fruits. Bunches of grapes hanging a bit over the sides of the basket work well with this design. You can also decorate the sides of the basket with leaves.
