You often see poppy green pears as an anchor fruit for summer weddings, but in my mind, it’s Autumn when they really come into their own. Look below for this majestic late-fall fruit providing the legs for a gorgeous wedding in chocolate, gold, champagne and — what else? — pear. My favorite bits in here include the foil-wrapped chocolate pear, the beautiful dipped figs, those amazing green shoes … ah, who am I kidding? I love it all.

This time of year is kind of transitional and in-betweeny. Around here, you’re waiting for the New England Fall shoe to drop, which is glorious, but short, and when it’s over you’re solidly into winter.
But that hasn’t happened yet. Still, I think that there are probably a few Native American languages that have a special word for this time of year, one that shows we’ve turned a corner, and summer proper’s no longer here … at least for some of us.

Green acorns are a delightful, fresh way to call out the season. Combine this motif with other shapes you’ve popped out in white, architectural form … white sugar paste mums, white porcelain acorns … and you’ve got something that evokes the early fall, in a slightly unconventional and very clean way. But it still feels really natural. How else would you work out this theme?
