LEMONADE PARTY IDEAS
A yellow and green color palette is perfect for this lemonade theme party!
I layered an adorable lemon table runner on top of a yellow and white checkered tablecloth.
Mixing different prints is a great summer tablescape idea and it’s a trick I use often.
You don’t always want everything to match perfectly.
Combining two patterns within the same color palette adds a lot of interest to any table. It’s an idea I use time and again!
Incorporating vintage glassware is another easy way to add touch of elegance to this setting!
These green and gold glasses were hand-me-downs from Matt’s mom.
If you aren’t as lucky as we are to have great vintage options on hand, you can also shop tag sales, thrift stores, estate sales or online sites like eBay or Facebook marketplace to find some.
If that’s not your thing, I found some beautiful pieces that are available for purchase:
HOW TO MAKE A BURLAP BANNER
This DIY burlap banner was easy to create using my Cricut maker and a few fabric remnants.
I love the bit of whimsy it brings to this celebration.
The lettered burlap pieces, combined with the patterned pastel fabric ribbons add a bit of casual elegance to lemon theme decor.
It’s simply perfect for this adult lemonade stand is one of my favorite lemonade party ideas!
MAKE THE LEMONADE PARTY COMPLETE BY ADDING SOME LEMON THEME DECOR
I impressed myself with how easy it was to pull together this beautiful flower arrangement.
The secret to my success? As always, it’s the vase.
This clear glass, square vase was perfect.
To make the arrangement, I simply placed a small plastic cup in the center of the vase and put the cut roses within the cup.
The acid from the lemons needs to be separated from the floral stems or the flowers will wilt.
Next, I thinly sliced lemons and carefully inserted them around all four edges of the vase, which hid the cup.
So cute!
OTHER GREAT LEMON THEME DECOR ITEMS THAT ADD A LOT OF PIZZAZZ TO THIS TABLE INCLUDE:
Cute yellow and white, polka dot and chevron paper napkins
Yellow and white striped paper straws
Green and white striped paper straws
And finally, don’t forget the obvious choice … the lemons and lemonade!
PRO TIP: You don’t always have to DIY or craft everything. This purchased artificial lemon garland is adorable and it was the perfect addition to this lemonade party.
Simply arrange a few fresh lemons within your serving pieces for a great, organic (and practical) touch!
I also love using a galvanized tub to hold the alcohol and mixers, as well as an adorable glass decanter for the lemonade!
