Sunshine & Citrus
Sunshine & Citrus
This citrus party idea is perfect for those looking for a traditional citrus setup with lemons, limes, and oranges. Featuring a vibrant color scheme of green, yellow, and a pop of orange, it’s ideal for garden parties and elegant outdoor events.
To get this party started, layer some citrus fruit garlands with other bright and bold decorations. Stick to the orange, yellow, and green color palette, and incorporate various shades to create depth and interest.
For a DIY citrus party decoration that looks and smells amazing, create a backdrop using real citrus fruit. Simply attach slices of oranges, lemons, and limes to a foam board, en voilà!
The key to a chic Summer party lies in the tablescape. We suggest making layered place settings by using our Soleil Yellow Cabana Stripe Plates as chargers and adding small melamine plates on top. Next, layer our Soleil Yellow Cabana Stripe Guest Towels with our Emerald Green Signature Bow Napkins. Tie it all together with Emerald Green Cabana Stripe Cups, shiny gold cutlery, and a cute lemon party favor.
We recommend squeezing in a little more citrus with some stylish table decorations. From vases filled with faux lemons to zesty floral arrangements, there are plenty of sweet citrus centerpieces to incorporate. Since no citrus soirée is complete without a tangy treat, complete your table decor by displaying a cute dessert on an orange-shaped tray.
RUBY-RIPE GRAPEFRUIT
Inspired by ripened grapefruits and sunkissed oranges, this citrus party idea is our favorite for Summer baby showers and bridal showers. This celebration thrives outdoors, so we suggest hosting it poolside or on a patio.
For decorations, start with a peach and pink balloon garland. Then, drape a vibrant fruit garland or a peach bunting fan garland to tie the colors together, and reflect the theme. Feel free to add a tropical twist with luau decorations and exotic cocktails!
We suggest bringing the pink and orange palette to the party table with our Sunkissed Orange Premium Dinner Plates or Petal Pink Signature Cabana Stripe Plates. Better yet, alternate the two and add some Petal Pink Cabana Stripe Guest Towels and Sunkissed Orange Signature Bow Napkins to complete the look.
If you’re looking for a fun citrus party activity, you can never go wrong with a cute craft. From making citrus-scented candles to painting citrus-themed tote bags, there are plenty of DIY’s to indulge in!
Capri-Blue and Limoncello
Our final citrus theme is full of sunny colors and coastal charm. Inspired by the Mediterranean Sea and limoncello liqueur, this party theme features a capri blue and lemon yellow color scheme.
To get the look, start with a brimming balloon garland in various shades of blue. Feel free to get creative and pop in a few clear balloons with hand-painted illustrations. These hand-painted lemon balloons that our team made added the most beautiful touch to this installation.
For the tablescape, we suggest layering some blue and white stripe table linens and napkins before embellishing them with a lemon or daisy garland. Then, alternate our Soleil Yellow Signature Cabana Stripe Plates and Sky Blue Signature Cabana Stripe Plates with the coordinating yellow and blue cups.
This party theme calls for a taste of the Amalfi Coast, so be sure to serve some Italian cuisine and Limoncello cocktails. Finally, don’t forget to send your guests home with cute coastal keepsakes like a chic coaster or ceramic fruit bowl.
