Use a sharp knife and clean cutting board to prepare fruit neatly and avoid bruising. If using a melon baller, keep it chilled for smooth balls. Always arrange fruit shortly before the event to keep it fresh and vibrant. Pat fruits and flowers dry carefully but thoroughly to prevent sogginess. For ease, enlist friends or family to help arrange the table in overlapping colorful sections.

Wash all fruits thoroughly, cut larger fruits into bite-sized pieces or use a melon baller for melons, slice strawberries and kiwis for uniform bite sizes.
