In many cases, a father’s contribution to his daughter’s wedding doesn’t go far beyond walking the bride down the aisle and paying the tab. Kent Waliser of Sagemoor Farms is no typical father. He had a vision for the perfect decoration at his daughter’s wedding and went to great lengths to make it happen. Kent thought his newest variety of apple, SweeTango, would be a great addition to the theme of the reception…“Two to Tango,” and he got quite crafty incorporating them into the motif.

By using an apple-growing technique developed in Japan, Kent left impressions on the apples that would make lasting impressions on everyone attending the wedding reception.

As his apples were ripening, Kent bagged them in opaque sacks with translucent lining to inhibit photosynthesis, which prevented the apples from reddening. A few days later, he removed the bags and placed black heart-shaped stencils on the apples with his daughter’s and her fiancé’s initials. The black stencils would continue to slow reddening in that specific area while the rest of the apple ripened normally. The result: a decorative apple almost too beautiful to eat.
