One of the sunniest, brightest signs of warmer weather is lemon. You start seeing the vibrant color in everything, from clothing to decor to desserts. We’re also noticing it at events.
If you’re a lemon fan, here are some tips you can use on adding a little citrus to your event decor and menu.
Lemon Decor
Let’s start with the visuals. A pop of lemon color just brightens a space. If you don’t want to go lemon-crazy, adding yellow tableware, a glass bowl of lemons or bright flower arrangements might just be enough.
If you’re ready to go full-on lemon, Ruffled has a long list of ideas:
- Lemon-themed stationery
- Lemons with place cards attached
- Lemon flavored foods for gift bags
- Citrus-themed tableware
- Yellow candles
- Lemons as centerpieces
- Yellow flowers
- Lemon trees as decor
- Lemonade stands
- Cakes decorated with lemon slices
Where can you find lemon decor? Amazon, Etsy, and Party City are well-stocked with items for this theme.
