Proclaim you are a “perfect pear” with elegant and memorable wedding favors. A pair of red pears tied in a tulle bag, or with an organdy ribbon, also makes a romantic favor for Valentine’s Day.
In A Bag
- Small pears such as Seckel or Forelle (or ask your grocer to order you extra small sizes of another variety such as Anjou or Bosc)
- Tulle
- Ribbon
- Florist wire
- Optional tag
Ribbon Tied
- Red Anjou pears
- Ribbon
- Chocolate heart – (optional)
- Cut squares of tulle large enough to wrap your pears and provide a decorative poof at the top. Secure the package with a ribbon and tie a bow. (Or use purchased organdy bags) Add an optional tag “A Perfect Pear” and bow using florist wire (see photo).
- Slice the bottoms off the pears so they will sit evenly, and rest them on paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Then tie two pears together tightly with a ribbon, making first a knot, then a bow. We used a 3” ribbon. If they are used as a table setting favor, you may want to add a chocolate heart, or sprigs of berries or greens.
