Oranges, grapefruits, kumquats, limes—the list goes on, but the flavors always wow. Tasty, vibrant, and oh-so refreshing, these colorful treats are totally worth celebrating. And just like that, all our attention is on this colorful citrus chandelier that consists of oranges, lemons, and kumquats which formed a ring above this reception’s pixie-tangerine cake.

‘Looking at the brighter side’ will literally become true when you have a table setting like this! This summer wedding decor is so fresh and full of personality. The florals are growing out of every element of this summer wedding theme. Adding sliced lemons to the table set up is also a great option— not to mention the lovely fresh scent of lemons that will fill the air!

If bold and bright is what you want, the cake is a great place to do it! The cake is meant to be an eye-catching centerpiece at the reception, so why not let it stand out? If you are not a fan of all-yellow wedding cake, there are pretty ways to add a citrus theme as this cake did!

Bouquets

We are swooning over these bright bouquets. When mixed with some subtle colors, yellow, orange, green or pink flowers will be the perfect pop of color. Filling your bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and decor pieces with bright yellow roses and vibrant pink peonies will help achieve an elegant and fun look. If you want to take a literal approach to your color scheme, throw some actual lemons in between the flowers.

Let the most important spot stand out with style. Decorate your ring plate with tangy oranges and enjoy a burst of freshness that will go along with the overall theme. You can also use this style when you display wedding favors.

Refreshing Cocktails

Now, what’s a summer wedding without a refreshing drink? Let your guests have a ‘chilled-out’ time as your bartender slips in few refreshing orangy cocktails. Want a few recommendations from our sides? Try Tequila Sunrise, Mimosa or Screwdriver Cocktail.

Summer wedding planning should be easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. We hope you love these fun citrus wedding theme ideas. and remember – squeeze the day!
