Happy Friday! It’s officially summer, and there’s nothing more we love than a killer summer party. Warm air, patios, balconies, backyards, rooftops – you name it, we’re there. There’s a few key things that make a summer soiree a success. Good music, a good guest list, good lighting and of course, some cute decor. Right now we’re absolutely obsessed with all things citrus. From drinks, to apps, to straight up using lemons as decor, we’re into it. Here’s a few fun ideas on how to incorporate it, and some inspo to pin for your next party!
Citrus Centerpieces. âYou don’t have to live in the Sunshine State to have a homegrown citrus tree! Dwarf varieties, like this Dwarf Genoa Italian Lemon Citrus Tree, thrive in a large container placed in full sun. And what better centerpiece to a citrus-themed party than an actual citrus tree? Place these miniature ones on your party tables and they’ll be a delightful conversation piece (and high enough to encourage those cross-table convos!).â – Jenna Miller, Creative Director, Here Comes the Guide
Juiced-up DĂ©cor. âLemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits are vibrantly colored and fairly roundâmaking a citrus-inspired balloon installation a fitting backdrop for your summer soirĂ©e. You’ll need bright yellow, green, orange, and pale pink balloons along with green leavesâthese can be real, silk, or even paper! Intersperse the leaves between the balloon clusters for a fabulously fruity look.â – Jenna Miller, Creative Director, Here Comes the Guide
