Help with fruit topiary and ordering fruit
Lynn
04/09/07 		There will be a full meal (chicken, noodles, slaw, homemade bread, etc.) with wedding cake and fruit for afterwards at a reception I'm helping with. I'm making a palm tree topiary to stick fruit into the base and they are wanting fruit arranged around the base of the tree to eat out of. Fresh pineapple, watermelon, cantalope, and grapes. I'm kind of lost of how much to order. They are planning to serve 400-450 people, but they thought to plan for 200-250 for the fruit. It'll be over with the cake, and I don't think they wanted to plan it with the meal. Any ideas of how much fruit to order? I know the wtaermelon's I only wanted 1 or 2...mainly for decoartions and to use as a bowl. ANy help will be greatly appreciated.
