Inspiration for a modern lemon yellow wedding. See how to incorporate this bright color with beautiful wedding decor. From favor boxes to jelly beans.
Are you ready for summer? Those warm nights when all you crave is an ice-cold lemonade and conversation with great friends. Give your wedding that same feeling by using the bright yellow fruit as your main inspiration for color and feeling. Bright, fresh, clean, citrus, crisp, happy - those are all adjectives that describe a lemon. Bring that aesthetic into your celebration by using saturated yellow as your main color, shades of that as accents, and sage green and gray as pops. The actual lemon fruit is a go-to decor piece for a lemon yellow wedding. Use the fruits as escort cards and accents on your cake. Slice them up to add to clear vases of water. Finally, cold lemonade filled with fresh squeezed juice and slices of citrus is perfect to welcome your guests with at your ceremony. Use these items from Oriental Trading to fully decorate a wedding inspired by the summery citrus yellow lemon fruit. 1) Yellow Jelly Beans: As a thank you gift, put them in clear cellophane bags and close with a Thank You sticker. 2) Yellow Hanging Lanterns: They are big, inexpensive, and make an impact. Hang them in a cluster from the ceiling or sporadic from trees outside. 3) Quart Ball Mason Jars: Fill these with sliced lemons and pretty white flowers for your centerpieces. 4) Lemon Yellow Plastic Forks: For a casual BBQ wedding, wrap these in paper napkins for a grab n go buffet. 5) Custom Photo Bubbles: Walk out of your wedding in a cloud of bubbles blown by your loved ones. 6) Yellow Pennant Banner: To decorate an outdoor wedding or to drape across the front of a dessert table, this banner is the perfect shade of lemon yellow. 7) White Cupcake Picks: I'd use these as escort cards stock into real lemon fruits. 8) Jar Drink Dispenser: Fill with crisp lemonade to greet your guests upon their arrival at your ceremony. 9) Yellow Popcorn Boxes: For an end of the night treat, hand to guests as they exit the reception. 10) Thank You Stickers: See #1. Use both to make super cute and color specific thank you gifts.
