Hello! I hope you can help me! I live in Spokane, Washington and am planning my wedding for next September. To honor my Croatian heritage, I would like to include apples in my decor. (Apples are traditionally tossed into a well as a sign of good luck and fruitfulness for the bride and groom) Anyways - I had a cool idea to find small (2 inches or less in diameter) red apples and put them into a tall, cylindrical vase with water as part of my centerpieces. I am having a hard time finding very small red apples to do this with. It's hard to even find a name for one! Any ideas? Let me know! Thanks!
At that size, you're probably talking crab apples. One of the prettiest, imho, is Dolgo
http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~dailey/pixs/apples/dolgo.jpg -- it's about 1.5" diameter.
I'd start talking now to people who have crab apple trees, and to anyone near who grows apples. I don't know how badly the late spring cold snap hit you in Spokane, but it looks like we're only going to be getting maybe 10% of the crabs I was expecting here (I'm in the foothills S of Portland).
Another possibility might be to have your caterer use whole pickled crabapples as garnish or part of a salad. Yum!
