Go Wild for Watermelon!

Enjoy watermelon in a fresh new way! Edible Arrangements®, the leading purveyor of hand-sculpted fresh fruit bouquets, are preparing a special summertime treat for a limited time only! Watermelon is the main attraction and is an ideal health food because it has no cholesterol and virtually no fat, is high in fiber and vitamins A and C, and is a good source of potassium and magnesium.

From Memorial Day through Labor Day, consumers can enjoy the popular seasonal display of the Melon Delight™. This fruit bouquet is a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds with fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, grapes, and pineapple daisies. “The Melon Delight™ is perfect for summertime barbeques, picnics, birthday parties, and it’s a great way to celebrate National Watermelon Day on August 3rd,” said Julie Kuhn, owner of Edible Arrangements located at 230 Eglin Parkway NE, Fort Walton Beach, FL.

There are many possibilities to customize the Melon Delight™ to fit your needs. The arrangement comes in 3 sizes, which includes the Melon Delight™ Summer Party size, perfect for large crowds. Two popular upgrades to this arrangement are:

1) Dipped Daisies®: The pineapple daisies have the opportunity to be dipped in gourmet chocolate.

2) Strawberries: A colorful and complementing addition to this arrangement is to add strawberries. Half or all of strawberries can be dipped in gourmet chocolate.

“Adding chocolate dipped fruit to any bouquet can really make your gift extra special for a chocolate lover,” said Kuhn.

Arrangements are guaranteed fresh and are available in a variety of sizes and range in price from $45 to $200. Each arrangement is made to order and can be customized with a variety of all natural fudge sauce, plush teddy bears, and special Mylar balloons for almost every occasion. All ingredients are natural and no preservatives or sweeteners are ever used. Arrangements can be picked up or delivered to your door from the Edible Arrangements located at 230 Eglin Parkway NE, Fort Walton Beach, FL (850) 226-4111.
