Fruit station

This may be a project that you can do yourself & save lots. But the linens from a fabric store in your color, Satin is nice & can be found cheap. Or a fabric matching the linens for your tables at the reception. You can stack sterdy boxes beneath the linen in two different heights if you want a staircase effect. With you creating the station (probably $40 tops) you could then get the catering places to do fruit platters for you .. fruit boats are also very unique and fun!!!

Or do edible arrangements. I not sure if there are any close to you in Chicago but look at www.ediblearrangements.com for store close to you.

There should be edible arrangements in chicago area....I'm from NWI and they have locations there.

I am not sure who is doing your food... but they should be more then happy to do a fruit display table...Have you asked your cater... I looked in your area and there are a lot of different companies that do catering... I would see if they could do this for you..Good luck and congratulations...This is a amazing time in your life..

Don't know your theme, but there's a restaurant here on the west coast of Florida that does a fruit palm tree. "Tree trunk" is studded w/toothpicks holding chunks of pineapple, strawberries, cheese, etc.

I was going to mention edible arrangements but looks like people beat me to it. They make cool arrangements, however they aren't the cheapest place necessarily. Maybe you can find some that you like and turn it in to a DIY project to save some cash.
