One of my friends has a great blog about being a domestic goddess. The Part-Time Happy Homemaker gives great tips, recipes, and some how-tos.

I routinely catch up on the site on Mondays, and a few weeks ago, I think I hit a wedding jackpot! Check out this post and tell me you didn’t just think, ‘WEDDING!’

Now, don’t go buying them out. I want to get two, one for me and one for mom. But seriously, can’t you envision the lemons and limes for an awesome summer tablescape, piled on a white milk glass centerpieces? Or what about awesome little pumpkins for the fall?

Are any of your centerpieces featuring fruit? Were you thinking of incorporating candles, as well?

Wow, these are great and very creative! For our wedding, we will be using flowers for our centre pieces. We will also try to incorporate some candles as well.

Oh, so cute! I bet adding a candle to most fruits would smell amazing, too!

@Lillindy: If you google “candle carver” you can find them elsewhere!

I think I may just have to buy one of these. Tiny pumpkin candles would be cuuute at our Hallowedding!

Lambie, I love you! If you were not engaged already I would propose!

I’ve been looking for an easy way of doing this. I used apples as candle holders for christmas before but only with long tapered candles. Wasn’t sure how to do it with tealights and other fruits though. Lemon- lime centerpieces here I come!

Here’s another link for them on Amazon - a few different sellers sell them:

Those are awesome!! I like that you wrote “don’t buy them out” however, whenever there is something cute posted on here the brides-to-be all gobble them up!! WB has boosted so many businesses

Oh! I used all lemonds and limes as my centerpieces, but never thought about putting candles in the mix! I may have to try and get my hands on one in time for our Halloween partay!
