Citrus Styling

Last week, we celebrated citrus with three recipes. Today, we’re taking those yummies from the California citrus coopertive, Sunkist Growers and doing a whole citrus shindig!

I love the idea of using citrus in styling because it tantalizes the senses–such pretty colors, smells and tastes.

Here are some ideas to adopt: Create a citrus centerpiece using citrus halves, billy balls and wooden skewers and flower frogs.

Another fun idea? layer bowls full of citrus and mint leaves on trays to create visual interest with varied height.

Or get really quirky and create citrus towers using pitchers and vessels…

…just use skewers to layer the fruit on top of one another.

And as a little souvenir I’m leaving you today with one of my still life portraits–for your downloadable pleasure! A new summery desktop wallpaper–just right click to download the large-format version.

Happy summer!
